Adapt

In 'Adapt', Tim Harford argues that success in solving complex problems, such as climate change, poverty, and financial crises, comes from adaptive trial and error rather than top-down planning.

Drawing from psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, physics, and economics, Harford shows how improvisation, working from the bottom up, and taking small steps can lead to innovation and success.

The book highlights the importance of feedback, learning from mistakes, and the need for organizations and individuals to embrace a culture of experimentation and adaptation.
