Adapt: Why Success Always Starts with Failure

Tim Harford argues that rather than pursuing rigid plans and expecting them to succeed, individuals and organizations should embrace the idea of adaptability. He presents the concept of "trial and error" as a fundamental mechanism for learning and progress. Harford illustrates this through numerous real-world examples, demonstrating how companies, economies, and societies have thrived by experimenting, making mistakes, and adapting in response.
