About this listen
Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the authors of the New York Times bestseller Rework, are back with a manifesto to combat all your modern workplace worries and fears.
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 plagues millions of workplaces and billions of people working their day jobs.
Working to breaking point with long hours, excessive business, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honour for many people these days, when it should be a mark of stupidity. This isn’t just a problem for large organisations; individuals, contractors and solopreneurs are burning themselves out in the very same way. As the authors reveal, the answer isn’t more hours. Rather, it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction, always-on anxiety and stress.
It is time to stop celebrating crazy and start celebrating calm.

!This book is funny, well written and iconoclastic and by far the best thing on management published this year." (The Economist)

If there's a heaven for companies, is Basecamp
Basecamp is where you go when you die in your company if you've been a good boy.
Really interesting book, interesting approach to a .com company and amazing performance. Easy, entertaining and fun. I wonder how many people applied for a position there after reading this book.

Bloody good listen
This book caused me a lot of problems at work, I wanted to immediately start implementing the things I was hearing in this book and unfortunately a regular business just isn’t ready for those changes but I made some small changes that has now made my work a lot easier and it’s all because of this book this is a great lesson for anyone that’s unhappy in their workplace
