Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug. Recommended by 15 sources.

Krug’s guide feels like a witty, no-nonsense conversation over coffee. It’s packed with practical advice on why users scan, not read, and how to make navigation obvious. The book shines in its brevity and memorable maxims—you’ll finish it in an afternoon and likely revisit its core principles. However, if you seek deep interaction design theory or modern mobile-first patterns, you’ll find it light. Its dated screenshots and web-centric focus may also irk app-only designers. A quick, opinionated primer, not an exhaustive textbook.
