内容简介
· · · · · ·
From the award-winning columnist and author of the national bestseller The Undercover Economist comes a provocative big idea book about the genuine benefits of being messy: at home, at work, in the classroom, and beyond.
Messy: The Power of Disorder to Transform Our Lives celebrates the benefits that messiness has in our lives: why it’s important, why we resist it, and why we should embrace it instead. Using research from neuroscience, psychology, social science, as well as captivating examples of real people doing extraordinary things, Tim Harford explains that the human qualities we value – creativity, responsiveness, resilience – are integral to the disorder, confusion, and disarray that produce them.
From the music studio of Brian Eno to the Lincoln Memorial with Martin Luther King, Jr., from the board room to the classroom, messiness lies at the core of how we innovate, how we achieve, how we reach each other – in short, how we succeed.
In Messy, you’ll learn about the unexpected connections between creativity and mess; understand why unexpected changes of plans, unfamiliar people, and unforeseen events can help generate new ideas and opportunities as they make you anxious and angry; and come to appreciate that the human inclination for tidiness – in our personal and professional lives, online, even in children’s play – can mask deep and debilitating fragility that keep us from innovation.
Stimulating and readable as it points exciting ways forward, Messy is an insightful exploration of the real advantages of mess in our lives.

混乱的背后是自由独立，是让人更像人。这本书说的是人，到底该怎样在这个充满规矩和套路的现代世界生存。

任意的震动；涉及到智力活动，也就是需要作出判断和决策的，就应该给团队加入一点多样性；计划最好只有中长期的；文档分类整理纯属浪费时间；混乱的背后是自由独立，是让人更像人
創意性的團隊不需要凝聚力，農耕文明那種大家好辦事的習性反而會做不了什麼事。生活處事就像文件一樣沒必要分類，過於循規蹈矩只會讓自己更像一個可以通過圖靈測試的機器人而已。
