Tim Harford's Messy
The Power of Chaos to Change Our Lives
Tim Harford's book Messy: How to Be Creative and Resilient in a Tidy-Minded World is interesting and goes against the grain of the modern fixation with neatness and structure. Harford uses interesting real-life anecdotes from the battlefield, Silicon Valley, and jazz improvisation to explain that disorder in our work, families, and lives may actually lead to more creativity, invention, and strength.
Harford makes a strong case for accepting the unexpected, the messy, and the unplanned since that's where the magic typically happens. He does this by combining psychology, economics, and narrative.

"We want order, but we do best when things are chaotic."
"අපි ක්රමවන්තභාවය කැමති වුවත්, අපි සාර්ථක වන්නේ අවිධිමත්කම තුළයි."
