From your award-winning columnist and writer of the nationwide best-seller The Undercover Economist comes a provocative big-idea booklet about the genuine benefits associated with being messy: at home, at the job, in the classroom, and beyond. Messy: THE ENERGY of Disorder to Transform Our Lives celebrates the huge benefits that messiness has in our lives: why it's important, why we avoid it, and just why we should adopt it instead. Using research from neuroscience, psychology, and social science as well as captivating examples of real people doing outstanding things, Tim Harford talks about that the real human attributes we value - ingenuity, responsiveness, resilience - are vital to the disorder, confusion, and disarray that produce them. From your music studio of Brian Eno to the Lincoln Memorial with Martin Luther Ruler Jr., from the boardroom to the classroom, messiness is situated at the center of how we innovate, how we achieve, how we reach one another - in a nutshell, how we do well. In Messy, you'll find out about the unexpected connections between creativeness and mess; realize why unexpected changes of plans, unfamiliar people, and unforeseen situations can help create new ideas and opportunities as they make you anxious and irritated; and come to appreciate that the real human inclination for tidiness - in our personal and professional lives, online, even in children's play - can face mask deep and devastating fragility that continues us from invention. Rousing and listenable as it issues exciting ways onward, Messy can be an insightful exploration of the true advantages of clutter in our lives.
