Most UX design begins with data. Clicks. Conversion rates. Funnels. Dashboards. But data only tells you what users do. It does not tell you what they experience. HUMINT UX introduces a new way of designing—one grounded in real human behavior, not just measurable activity.

Systems are becoming more powerful—but not necessarily more aligned with the people using them. This book bridges that gap. Drawing from principles of human intelligence (...

However, there are a lot of physical and mental elements that make the human being. Pranayama helps you focus on connecting to all of these components, giving ...
