The Laws of Simplicity

John Maeda gave a very compelling presentation with quotes like: "Complexity is ok; what would the world be if everything was simple", "Relax, the world has been falling apart forever", "I'm in the grey area"



I recommend his book in which he describes the 10 Laws of Simplicity.

Good book on the innovation process and the importance of branding and the emotions it evokes.

One of my favorite books of all time. A fable about following your dreams. Simply and beautifully written.
