A Perfect Mess: The Hidden Benefits of Disorder--How Crammed Closets, Cluttered Offices, and On-The-Fly Planning Make the World a BettEver 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.
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 from business, parenting, cooking, the war on terrorism, retail, and even the meteoric career of Arnold Schwarzenegger, coauthors Abrahmson and Freedman demonstrate that moderately messy systems use resources more efficiently, yield better solutions, and are harder to break than neat ones.Applying this idea on scales both large (government, society) and small (desktops, garages), A Perfect Mess uncovers all the ways messiness can trump neatness, and will help you assess the right amount of disorder for any system. Whether it's your company's management plan or your hallway closet that bedevils you, this book will show you why to say yes to mess.Binding Type: Paperback

Used to be great, now not so much
Size: 8 Inch
**update** TOP NOTCH customer service. Seller messaged me very quickly after the 3 star review and was very concerned that their product wasn't as expected - made it right for me and I will definitely give them another try!
I have purchased these several times, and at first I would have given a 5 star. I love the way the come individually wrapped and they use to come with a protective film on it. They still come individually wrapped, and no protective film now. Only 1 side sublimates very well (great colors). The 2nd side is duller and it's noticeable. I will be looking for a new supplier unfortunately. I wish that I could say I still loved them, but something changed!

Great wind spinners, you can't go wrong
Size: 8 Inch
5 stars is not enough for these. OMG I found my new supplier for the wind spinners. I have gone through four other suppliers and they did not turn out well, for various reasons. But these I love for a couple of reasons. First I love that they have the paper on them for removing the plastic, holy cow was that easy! Second I love how they turn out for the ones I already made. They sublimate beautifully and the colors really pop. Thanks so much, and I'm going to order more right now! I hope you don't change them. I do recommend these folks, they are awesome.
