愛因斯坦的書桌是有名的亂，為此他有所辯護：「如果一張雜亂的書桌代表的是一顆混亂的腦袋，那麼請問，一張空無一物的書桌又代表什麼？」事實上，雜亂通常代表創意取向，一張混亂的案頭往往隱藏著有效而直觀的歸檔系統。一分針對芝加哥大學六位學者──包括一位諾貝爾獎得主及兩位麥克阿瑟天才獎得主──的研究顯示，這六位學者唯一的共通之處就是他們雜亂到不行的研究室。這本書要強調的是：一點點的脫序或混亂可以讓既有系統更加行之有效。任何組織或個人只有在完美融合了混亂與秩序後才會有最好的表現。《亂好》檢視了企業、父母教養、烹飪、反恐戰爭、零售業……等方方面面，勾畫出只要選對合適的混亂層級與類型，反將獲致其潛在的優勢。追求絕對秩序既已不可能，不如放點水，用更寬容的心去看待那種種太被苛責的事：從政府運作、社會演進，到個人修為。亂，有何不可？怎麼亂才好？
