Rework : Change The Way You Work Forever by David Heinemeier Hansson (Author), Jason Fried (Author)
A refreshingly unconventional business book that challenges traditional notions of work and provides practical advice for entrepreneurs and business owners with a fresh perspective on work productivity and growth.
From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book - that explores a new reality. Today, anyone can be in business. Tools that used to be out of reach are now easily accessible. Technology that used to cost thousands is now just a few pounds or even free. Stuff that was impossible just a few years ago is now simple. That means anyone can start a business. And you can do it without working miserable 80-hour weeks or depleting your life savings.
You can start it on the side while your day job provides all the cash flow you need. Forget about business plans, meetings, and office space - you don't need them.
It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work
It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work is a direct successor to Rework, the instant bestseller that showed readers a new path to working effectively. Now Fried and Heinemeier Hansson have returned with a new strategy for the ideal company culture - what they call "the calm company". It is a direct attack on the chaos, anxiety, and stress that plague millions of workplaces and billions of people working their day jobs. Working to breaking point with long hours, excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for many people these days, while it should only be a mark of stupidity.
