Rework

Book • 2010
Rework by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson presents a fresh and unconventional approach to business.

The book argues against traditional business practices such as writing business plans, seeking outside investors, and staffing up.

Instead, it advocates for a simpler, more efficient way of doing business, emphasizing the importance of productivity, avoiding unnecessary meetings and paperwork, and ignoring the competition.

The authors draw from their experiences at 37signals (now Basecamp) to provide practical advice and examples that support their counterintuitive ideas.

The book is designed to inspire and provoke readers to rethink their approach to work and entrepreneurship.
