Kogan Page keeps things simple with Hobsbawm deal

Kogan Page has acquired the new book from entrepreneur and public intellectual Julia Hobsbawm on how to keep things simple in a complex world.

The publisher bought world English language rights for The Simplicity Principle: Six Steps Towards Clarity in a Complex World, to be published on 3rd April 2020.

Its synopsis explains: “Using a hexagonal model, Julia Hobsbawm shows you that it's easy to streamline and simplify both your professional and personal lives with lessons based on the natural world.
