In a world unraveling — ecologically, socially, spiritually — Design for a Better World, published by MIT Press, confronts a difficult truth: the same human behavior that brought us to crisis may be our only way out. Drawing on core themes of meaning, sustainability, and humanity-centeredness, Don Norman reimagines the role of design as an agent of change — not just of things, but of values, systems, and priorities. Built on insights from over 150 case studies across disciplines and industries, the book proposes a path forward. It urges us to shift our metrics of success, reorient our economies, and design structures that support not just survival but dignity as well.
This is design not as decoration but as intervention — a collective proposal for how we might begin again.
