Messy: How to Be Creative and Resilient in a Tidy-Minded World

Chaos nurtures creativity in an orderly world.

If you're feeling stifled by the pressure to always keep things neat, "Messy: How to Be Creative and Resilient in a Tidy-Minded World" by Tim Harford might be your breath of fresh air. Harford taps into the unexpected relationship between disorder and innovation. It's a thought-provoker that will give you the license to embrace a bit of disarray, potentially sparking your most creative ideas yet.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Messy – Sáng Tạo Từ Sự Lộn Xộn. Theo bản năng, chúng ta thường hướng đến sự gọn gàng, từ trong tư duy đến lối sống. Vị diễn giả trung thành với kịch bản thuyết trình và ngài sĩ quan chỉ huy lên kế hoạch tác chiến một cách cẩn trọng. Các ông chủ luôn yêu cầu bàn làm việc của nhân viên phải gọn gàng, còn nhân viên luôn cố gắng lưu trữ tài liệu và sắp xếp email sao cho thật khoa học. Nhưng rất tiếc, trật tự chính là yếu tố giết chết sự sáng tạo. Qua các nghiên cứu tâm lý học và thực tế, Tim Harford đã chỉ ra sự kết nối bất ngờ giữa sự lộn xộn và sáng tạo. Mỗi chương sách sẽ khai thác một khía cạnh khác nhau của sự lộn xộn, cho thấy cách nó khuyến khích sự sáng tạo, khơi gợi ý tưởng và khai phá những cơ hội mới trong mọi lĩnh vực của cuộc sống. Hy vọng cuốn sách sẽ giống như một cú hích thúc đẩy bạn chọn sự xáo trộn khi thói quen gọn gàng vẫn đang chiếm ưu thế. Hãy tin chắc rằng mọi thứ sẽ tốt hơn nếu chúng ta chấp nhận lộn xộn ở mức độ nào đó.
