Books

My latest book is WRONG.  You can learn more about it here.


















My previous book was A Perfect Mess, published in January, 2007; the paperback came out in January, 2008.  It's about how disorganization and messiness can be good things.  It was featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Time, and on the Today show, CBS Sunday Morning and National Public Radio, and more than a hundred other publications and shows.  A Perfect Mess was co-authored by Eric Abrahamson. You can find it on Amazon here, and Barnes & Noble here.
