The Design of Everyday Things. Found it longwinded and jargon heavy without saying a lot or anything actionable at times.
I had some UI design skills already and intuition about it so I found a lot of the advice common sense. Like don't blame the user, give them a way to undo mistakes. This might be why I couldn't relate to people who say it's mind blowing and makes them see the world in a different way.
I've read Don't Make Me Think as well which is often recommended with the above. I thought this book was great. Concise, actionable, simple to follow. Refactoring UI is like this too.
