Transcendental principles
This book isn't focused on recent trends or properties specific to a certain field, and thus applies to all design. It provides a broad view and allows focusing on the fundamental goals of the user experience, rather than being limited in scope.

Quite repetitive
Much of the book is dedicated to getting the main point across (don't micromanage, let people do their job). This can make it feel repetitive and dull at times.
