This book is a wholesome and genuine attempt to describe what goes on in the mind of designers at work. It succeeds largely because the authors substantial research portfolio has provided a sound foundation for the book and beacuse the examples of designers work are highly relevant and interesting.
This is a must read for anyone who wants to understand design thinking and the book provides a solid counterbalance to a lot of the hype and ill informed opinions on the subject that abounds on the internet.
The author touches tantalisingly on the subject of non-verbal thought on page 116 but does not develop this thinking much further. The role of non-verbalising, visualisation and the disturbing of the creative processes by verbal overshadowing are worthy of further exploration and research.
In some ways this is a remarkable little book, full of valuable insights and much closer to its subject than many published opinions about design thinking. I expect to refer to this book frequently in my own work and reflections. Highly recommended for anyone who genuinly want to understand how designers think.
The subject matter deserves a larger format book with more illustrations and visualisations, but this is in no way a criticism of the author or the contents of this book.

Clear and solid. Collects an impressive amount of knowledge. I did learn from this and it is insightful about how designers think.
I just hope that the number of samples in the studies was much larger, since I suspect many of the findings might be just anecdotes.
Overall totally worth it if you need to reflect and understand the processes and thinking of designers.

Lots of context around design and some great example cases. Tough to apply based on the information provided though. Very much a framing based not a doing focused book.

Nice quick read into the minds of some of the most prolific designers that do not enter the mainstream conversation.

interesting to read and motivational while also analytical for understanding the design process in general. A good, easy read, even enjoyable.
