Emotional Design was about how things affect emotionally and how that relates to utility and usability of the product. The book says how even if something is not useful. The basic idea is that we can like something and hold it in high esteem if it has great meaning to us.
I can agree with this. For example, I've gotten annoyed lately at windows 7 because I've been having some issues with it. While on the other hand, things that serve no purpose I like a lot. One such example would be this toy plastic fish that my grandfather gave me many years ago. It sits on my bookshelf and reminds me of him whenever I see it.
