Like Freakonomics, here is a book that combines counterintuitive thinking with stories from everyday life to provide a striking new view of how our world works. Ever since Einstein's study of Brownian Motion, scientists have understood that a little disorder actually makes 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 anecdotes and case studies of the useful role mess can play, here is an antidote to the accepted wisdom that tight schedules, neatness, and consistency are the keys to success. Drawing on examples from business, parenting, cooking, the war on terrorism, retail, and even the meteoric career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, coauthors Abrahamson and Freedman demonstrate that moderately messy systems use resources more efficiently, yield better solutions, and are harder to break than neat ones. A Perfect Mess will help readers assess what the right amount of disorder is for a given system, and how to apply these ideas onto a large scale--government, society-- and on a small scale--in your attic, kitchen, or office. A Perfect Mess will forever change the way we think about those unruly heaps of paper on our desks.

評分 評分这本书对于像我这种房间摆设混乱的人来说,是很好的读本。因为作者试图通过无数的案例来证明:适当的『混乱』在工作和生活中往往能起到有益的作用,而不是绝对地有害。 过度的『秩序』,往往会呈现出反人类的倾向,甚至导致极权主义。而适当的『混乱』,其实是可以给整个系统...

評分这是一部为有着邋遢习惯、生活不够整洁秩序的人的一本正名作。我要说我打开这本书看到前面几章时,我的感觉是相当开心啊。原来书桌混乱、不爱整洁的科学家除了爱因斯坦还有那么多啊,而且好多都取得了很大的成就有木有?弗莱彻乱放在窗口的培养皿里钻进了青霉素,他看到了就...
