具體描述
Finally, we are learning that simplicity equals sanity. We're rebelling against technology that's too complicated, against DVD players with too many menus, and software accompanied by 75-megabyte "read me" manuals. The iPod's clean gadgetry has made simplicity hip. But sometimes we find ourselves caught up in the simplicity paradox: we want something that's simple and easy to use--but also does all the complex things we might ever want it to do. In The Laws of Simplicity, John Maeda offers guidelines, ten laws for balancing simplicity and complexity in business, technology, and design--for needing less and actually getting more.
Maeda--a professor in MIT's Media Lab and a world-renowned graphic designer--explores the question of how we can redefine the notion of "improved" so that it doesn't always mean something more, something added on.
Maeda's first law of simplicity is "Reduce." It's not necessarily beneficial to add technology features just because we can. And the features that we do have must be organized (Law 2) in a sensible hierarchy so users aren't distracted by features and functions they don't need. But simplicity is not less just for the sake of less. Skip ahead to Law 9: "Failure: Accept the fact that some things can never be made simple." Maeda's concise guide to simplicity in the digital age shows us how this idea can be a cornerstone of organizations and their products--how it can drive both business and technology. We can learn to simplify without sacrificing comfort and meaning, and we can achieve the balance described in Law 10. This law, which Maeda calls "The One," tells us: "Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful."

##梳理多過啓發。law 9 還挺有意思的，第一次看一個作者在自己的書裏那麼直白地分析自己這本書哪些地方寫得不好。
評分##一個PPT就可以瞭其實。。還值得一看
評分##前半部分寫得比後半部分好
評分##頭三章還行，後麵的就有些多餘瞭。用大量親身經曆感覺確實令人嚮往但不能作為經典流傳。亮點在於字體和版式設計，可供畢業論文參考！
評分##簡單盡，復雜現，反之亦然。
評分##可能書中說的這些點在其他書裏麵都見過瞭，反而沒那麼驚艷和共鳴
評分##簡單盡，復雜現，反之亦然。
評分##No offense but it's pretty mediocre.
評分##一個PPT能搞定的齣瞭本書
