Summary of In Pursuit Of Elegance (Matthew E. May)
Overview: The importance and value of elegance
Element #1: Symmetry
Element #2: Seduction
Element #3: Subtraction
Element #4: Sustainable
Book Abstract
MAIN IDEA
From time to time, certain events, products and services capture public attention because they display a rare trait – elegance.
Elegance
To make something elegant is an elusive target but that’s why elegance is so noteworthy when we find it. Elegance has the power to cut through background noise and deliver a profound experience which changes minds, shakes markets and alters our views of things, often forever.
What’s noteworthy about elegance is this is something where what isn’t there is just as important – if not more important – than what is there. Elegant ideas are always uncluttered, but that’s not all. There are four key elements of elegance:
Symmetry
Seduction
Subtraction
Sustainable
It’s the collective execution and fusion of these elements which makes elegance happen. There must also be a blend of logic and creativity in the way these four elements are balanced and offset against each other.
The full power of elegance is achieved when the maximum impact is extracted with the minimum input. What isn’t there can often be as or more powerful than what is there.
