Although the title isn’t great, it’s still a great book. One of Jim Collins’ points of philosophy is his “Hedgehog Concept.” According to Jim, hedgehogs understand that the essence of profound insight is simplicity. He elaborates further on these animals that — “They see what is essential, and ignore the rest.” — which sounds an awfully lot like the tenth Law the one. I sincerely hope I haven’t inadvertently upset these little fellas. |

This is a very interesting subject, I will pick up a copy of,”The Laws of Simplicity. I also like the links and refrences you give to “Good to Great” and “37 signals”. You might be interested in “ENHANCING” your book(’s). I only say this because my friend Steven Slomkowski Is looking for traction with his company “enhancedbooks.com”. Check it out and enjoy your week!
Best regards,
Theron
I checked out enhancedbooks.com and found it to be interesting. It made me think of the counterparts in the magazine world of Olive Software and Zinio. Thank you for your interest in LOS. Good to Great really is great!
Another one by the same author is ‘Built to Last’
… ‘Good to great’ is an extension of the same.
I really liked your simplicity concepts.
My friend suggested I read Built to Last so now with your added hint I have no choice but to pick it up.
I have also used the audio version of Good to great It reinforces the book well, and is very efficient.
Thanks Theron. What a great way to save TIME.
Hey John, I just wanted to let you know that your book is simply amazing. I bought the book a few days ago over at MoMA (NYC) by the “Design and Elastic Mind” exhibit and I’m already half way through it. The Laws of Simplicity are inspiring and have motivated me to take a deeper look into how information is disseminated whenever I take on a web project. Thanks again!
