Overview:

Ever since Einstein's study of Brownian motion, scientists have understood that a little disorder can actually make systems more effective. But most people still shun disorder - or suffer guilt over the mess they can't avoid. No longer! With a spectacular array of true stories and case studies of the hidden benefits of mess, A Perfect Mess overturns the accepted wisdom that tight schedules, organization, neatness, and consistency are the keys to success. Drawing on examples form business, parenting, cooking, the war on terrorism, retail, and even the meteoric career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, co-authors Abrahamson and Freedman demonstrate that moderately messy systems use resources more efficiently, yield better solutions, and are harder to break than neat ones. Abridged on 3 compact discs. Read by David H. Freedman.
