MESSY: HOW TO BE CREATIVE/ RESILIENT/ TIDY MINDED WORLD

We all benefit from tidy organisation - up to a point. But the forces of tidiness have marched too far. In this book, Tim Harford makes a compelling case for the creative benefits of disorganization, improvisation, and confusion. His liberating message: you'll be more successful if you stop struggling so hard to plan or control your success. He reveals the upside of being messy in our private lives; in the office, with piles of paper on the desk and unread spreadsheets; in the recording studio, the laboratory or in preparing for an important presentation and in our approach to business, politics and economics, leaving things vague, diverse and uncomfortably made-up-on-the-spot. It's time to rediscover the benefits of a little mess.
