Minimalism in Theory and Practice

In 1990, Dr. John Carroll introduced minimalism in his book The Nurnberg Funnel, and followed it up with Minimalism Beyond the Nurnberg Funnel eight years later. In 2013, I interviewed Dr. Carroll about his work, and in 2020 we re-examined minimalism on the 30th anniversary of the publication of the original book. Minimalism is constantly evolving, and is an important tool in making users more successful. In this talk, I’ll discuss core principles of minimalism, how users benefit, misconceptions about minimalism, and share best practices.
