If only today’s technology were simpler! It’s the universal lament, but it’s wrong. We don't want simplicity. Simple tools are not up to the task. The world is complex; our tools need to match that complexity. Simplicity turns out to be more complex than we thought. In this provocative and informative book, Don Norman writes that the complexity of our technology must mirror the complexity and richness of our lives. It’s not complexity that’s the problem, it’s bad design. Bad design complicates things unnecessarily and confuses us. Good design can tame complexity. Norman gives us a crash course in the virtues of complexity. But even such simple things as salt and pepper shakers, doors, and light switches become complicated when we have to deal with many of them, each somewhat different. Managing complexity, says Norman, is a partnership. Designers have to produce things that tame complexity. But we too have to do our part: we have to take the time to learn the structure and practice the skills. This is how we mastered reading and writing, driving a car, and playing sports, and this is how we can master our complex tools. Complexity is good. Simplicity is misleading. The good life is complex, rich, and rewarding—but only if it is understandable, sensible, and meaningful.

在我们的一生中，无论是求学、工作还是生活，无时无刻不在祈求“灵感”相助!本书通篇不断重复的一个主题是：获得“灵感”就是“生活在灵性之中”。当我们处于灵性之中时，就有了灵感；我们之所以能得到灵感，是因为我们又回到了灵性世界。获得“灵感”就是要回归到本原之处，它是一个能量场，贯穿我们全身，然后与我们结合，让我们收起“自我”身份。在本书中，作者通过描述怎样生活在灵性之中，怎样倾听灵感的声音，完成内心召唤要求我们去做的任何事，揭示了灵感运用于我们的生活时所具有的意义以及灵感通过各种方式对我们的行为所作出的回应。在每章最后，作者都向我们提出了获得灵感的具体建议：摆脱“全天候”守候你的自我；进入“心想而成”的感应世界；首先改变对自己的认识；吸收他人的灵感并成为激励别人的源泉；远离无法给人以灵感的寻常能量；让本原呈现出它本来的模样；收起“假我”，与本原共同创造；灵感需要行动.
