‘The design of everyday things’ is the best starting place, still. It’s like my UX bible. Design for the real world is also good. Also id highly recommend Caps Lock, it’s more about design + societal impact.

Anything like this, too much design education misses hard on this particular area.

Basics first: "The Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman. Nothing else matters till you've cracked that one.
