A Perfect Mess by Eric Abrahamson (non-fiction)


This is a downloadable audio book that is available through the library's website. Being a messy person I thought this would be the perfect book for me! I doubt that a neatnik would enjoy this book. Abrahamson says that mess is not all that bad! It can help creativity. If it weren't for a messy workspace, penicillin wouldn't have been discovered when it was. Lots of good things have come out of mess. He comes down heavy on people who over-organize. I loved it! He also points out that we messy folk are organized in our own messy way. This book isn't for everyone but the examples he uses kept the book very interesting.
