Seven Blind Mice & the Elephant

Seven Blind Mice by Ed Young
Seven Blind Mice by Ed Young

My daughter has a book by Ed Young called Seven Blind Mice that retells an old Indian fable about perception, reality, truth and the dangers of clinging to one’s own beliefs too tightly. In the book Mr. Young ends the fable with the moral of the story, that “Knowing in part may make a fine tale, but wisdom comes from seeing the whole.”

This fable is the jumping off point for an insightful post on UXMatters.com titled “The Psychologist’s View of UX Design” by Dr. Susan Weinschenk.
