Excellent book. It’s very far from hands-on, and doesn’t even address UI in particular most of the time. Won’t tell you how to lay out anything, but puts you on the right empathetic mindset for design in general.
Based on OP’s description, might be just the ticket, but may also be too general for some tastes.
I think what you’re describing at the end there is basically what Brave (browser) tried to do.
