In this timely manifesto, the authors of the brand new York Occasions bestseller Rework broadly reject the prevailing notion that extended hours, aggressive hustle, and ‘whatever it takes’ are required to run a successful business today.

In Rework, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson introduced a fresh path to functioning effectively. Now, they build on their message with a striking, iconoclastic technique for creating the perfect firm culture-what they call ‘the calm firm.’ Their approach directly assault the about any of it Doesn’t Have to become Crazy at the job chaos, nervousness, and stress that plagues an incredible number of workplaces and hampers billions of workers every day.

Extended hours, an extreme workload, and too little sleep have become a badge of honor for contemporary professionals. But it should be a tag of stupidity, the writers argue. Sadly, this isn’t just a issue for large organizations-individuals, companies, and solopreneurs are burning themselves out the same way. The answer to better productivity isn’t more hours-it’s less waste materials and fewer issues that induce distraction and prolonged stress.

It’s time to end celebrating Crazy, and begin celebrating Calm, Fried and Hansson assert.

Fried and Hansson have the proof to regress to something easier their argument. ‘Quiet’ has been the cornerstone of their company’s culture since Basecamp began twenty years ago. Destined to become the management information for the next generation, It Doesn’t Need to be Crazy at Work is a useful and motivating distillation of their insights and experiences. It is not a book letting you know how to proceed. It’s a book displaying you what they’ve done-and how any manager or executive no matter the sector or size of the business, can do it too.
