Adapt: Why Success Always Starts with Failure is a nonfiction book by economist and journalist Tim Harford. Written for readers interested in business, policy, innovation, and problem solving, it argues that many of the world’s most difficult challenges cannot be solved by grand plans or expert certainty alone. Instead, Harford makes the case for adaptive trial and error, showing that progress often comes from small experiments, feedback, and the willingness to survive failure long enough to learn from it. Drawing on examples from evolution, organizations, military operations, and public policy, the book presents adaptation as a practical method for dealing with complexity. Its purpose is not to celebrate failure for its own sake, but to explain why failure, when contained and examined, can be a productive source of discovery in systems that are too complicated for top-down control.
