Inc. Magazine is reporting that A Perfect Mess is coming out in paperback this month.
David H. Freedman, frequent writer for Inc., including this month’s cover story on Bob Cramer, submits evidence in the book that being an organized person may actually be a bad thing, it stunts creativity. We can see for some it can happen.
