Not earth-shattering but a ton of great advice

Sarah Schumacher

I'm never sure what to do with books that feel like a collection of blog posts. The endorsement by Seth Godin is appropriate, since it feels similar to his daily blog posts, just in your face and wrapped up in book form. The content itself is great. I personally just don't prefer this type of format since I feel like I can read the whole thing in 20 minutes, will have covered 15 categories, and won't remember any of it.

If you would like to read bite-size chunks of unconventional business advice, this would be a good book to purchase, set on your shelf and read a chapter every morning before starting your workday.

Jimmy Cerone

Amazing advice for businesses of all sizes. Even better, it’s short and sweet.

This book is full of practical advise. The authors have very refreshing points of view on many topics. I specially like their stand against the common idea that startups and organizations have to aim for eternal growth and scale. A lot of good food for thought.

Erwin Lemuel Oliva

Perhaps one the best books in starting a business. Practical tips, no-BS advice on how to turn work into something more than just a job.

Nelson Zagalo

Interessante pela abordagem divertida de algo que as pessoas tomam muito a sério, o trabalho de todos os dias. Por outro lado não traz nada de muito novo, algumas dicas aqui e ali, mas na generalidade é pouco. São aflorados muitos assuntos, e pode ser que o livro até sirva para alertar para uma ou outra área e levar a pessoa a procurar mais informação sobre a mesma. Um livro que se lê rápido, porque apresentado num formato de receitas.

impressive, thinking outside the box, completely terminating many classic myths about running a successful business, the most overwhelming concept in this book is 'optimism', it's about converting what seems complicated and unachievable into simple and possible tasks, the guys have interesting vision towards many business related topics such as hiring, growing, marketing, prioritization, competition etc.

Jon Dubielzyk

I've been following Jason Fried's work for years and have always enjoyed his writing. This book contains all the general principles Basecamp has written about over the last few years. It's opinionated and different, but regardless of whether you agree or not, it's bound to inspire.

Sebastian Witowski

When it was written, advices contained in this book might have been more revolutionary. In 2020, it's all common knowledge. It's lightly written and easy to read (or listen).

Elli Izo

Throughout a neat cascade of topics each reinforcing one another, Fried candidly expanded on his core message that limited resources or constraints for that matter are, in many ways, only blessings to business starters. Most of his content contrasts mainstream views and approaches to managing startups. In conjunction with his daring claims, he touched on validatory examples sourced from his own records of solid success as well as other respectable authorities while keeping it all sharp, concise and conversational. 

Fried may well have gained further credibility had he dived deeper via adding finer breakdowns examining why his approaches work. But that'd deviate from his vastly embraced theme of stripping down to the bare essences - the style/length of his delivery hence justifiably hit a sweet spot.

Overall a strong recommend to anyone longing for a rather unconventional push conducive to better productivity, be it in relation to managing the typical 9-5 cubicle grind or starting a business. 

(Bear in mind also that Fried made this book a highly digestive read I frankly don't see why one can't finish it over a bath. )

Barry Hess

Super fast read. Most of the content I've read. Though I think given how fast it is to read it might be good to refresh every year or so. Basically, get some sleep and do the minimum you need to do but do it well.

Bryan Maniotakis

This book had a lot of hype that I feel was a bit unwarranted. The short form style of writing should be kept to a blog format.

From the founders of the trailblazing software company 37signals, here is a different kind of business book - one 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 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, office space - you don't need them. With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who's ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs who want to get out, and artists who don't want to starve anymore will all find valuable inspiration and guidance in these pages. It's time to rework work.

Change the Way You Work Forever

ReWork

Shubham Gupta

Its one of the easiest books to read through and possibly a very actable one. The book has been boiled down to simple workable steps. Learn to enjoy being small. Because small gives you flexibility. When your company has 10,000 people, you can roll a new change in just a week. Enjoy your flexibility now. That's the greatest power. 

Power to adapt and change is the greatest power of all. Many others things are inscribed in this wonderful book. Definitely a great read.

Roger Dean Olden

One of the fastest reads ever. Every chapter brings up a theme of running a business. Using the experience from running 37 signals you get to know how things should be done as opposed to how you think they should be done.

Luca Conti

Gli autori di Rework sono noti in rete, grazie al successo della loro creatura, 37Signal. Il libro vuole essere un concentrato di consigli per chi vuole fare impresa oggi, su Internet e magari nello sviluppo di software, ma non solo.

Chi frequenta il social web da tempo ci troverà soltanto qualche spunto, in un mare di banalità, probabilmente non banali per chi viene da un percorso professionale e ad un business lontano dalla rete. Chi poi è un lettore fedele del blog di 37Signal ci troverà ben poco di nuovo, essendo il libro un meglio di quanto già pubblicato.

Considerando gli autori e il successo del libro, mi aspettavo sinceramente molto di più. Ciò nonostante, il libro si legge velocemente e lascia senza dubbio con qualche spunto da mettere in pratica nella vita professionale quotidiana, per migliorarsi e lavorare meglio. Non è certo da buttare. Ottimo nello sfatare molti luoghi comuni sul mondo del lavoro, offre un punto di vista fresco e originale.

One of the best books I've ever read.
Feels like the Author is just conversing with you face to face, amazing read.
Graphics on every second page are great.
I'm pretty much inspired to read it multiple times.

"Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, co-founders of software company 37signals, follow a simpler-is-better philosophy. This extends from writing software used in microblogging phenomenon Twitter - to building a business and managing a career. he company has a million users and a payroll of eight. Their point of difference is pared down simplicity: they make products that are shockingly easy to use. The advice contained in ReWork aimed at small businesses is equally no-nonsense and inspired: spend less money, hire fewer people, work fewer hours, have fewer meetings, and perhaps most surprisingly offer fewer features. Essentially do less than the competition. hey focus on what really matters. Employees are fresh, energised and forced to avoid distractions. With short, to-the-point chapters, ReWork draws together what 37signals has learned in the trenches while building a hugely successful company that not only has loyal customers, it has raving fans. Inspirational, motivational and simple, ReWork will be the post-recession business book of the year."

I don't really read any business books, but I like the 37signals team and was curious how they run their shop. Tons of very practical ideas, and the book is painlessly short.
