There's a new package out that simplifies man pages and it's GREAT: tldr. Here's an example:

tldr doesn't include every command, but it's growing with community support. Install it one of the following ways:

npm install -g tldr
brew install tldr
gem install tldrb
pip install tldr

There are many more ways to install, so if one of those doesn't work for you, go to the tldr github and find one that does.
