Rework shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business.

Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.

Read it and you'll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don't need outside investors, and why you're better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don't need to be a workaholic. You don't need to staff up. You don't need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even need an office. Those are all just excuses.

What you really need to do is stop talking and start working. This book shows you the way. You'll learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you.

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 they hate, victims of "downsizing," and artists who don’t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.

Amazon Exclusive: Seth Godin Reviews Rework

Seth Godin is the author of Linchpin, Tribes, The Dip, Purple Cow, All Marketers Are Liars, and Permission Marketing, as well as other international bestsellers. He is consistently one of the 25 most widely read bloggers in the English language. Read his exclusive Amazon guest review of Rework:

This book will make you uncomfortable.

Depending on what you do all day, it might make you extremely uncomfortable.

That's a very good thing, because you deserve it. We all do.

Jason and David have broken all the rules and won. Again and again they've demonstrated that the regular way isn't necessarily the right way. They just don't say it, they do it. And they do it better than just about anyone has any right to expect.

This book is short, fast, sharp and ready to make a difference. It takes no prisoners, spares no quarter, and gives you no place to hide, all at the same time.

There, my review is almost as long as the first chapter of the book. I can't imagine what possible excuse you can dream up for not buying this book for every single person you work with, right now.

Stop reading the review. Buy the book.--Seth Godin

Review

"Jason Fried and David Hansson follow their own advice in Rework, laying bare the surprising philosophies at the core of 37signals' success and inspiring us to put them into practice. There's no jargon or filler here just hundreds of brilliantly simple rules for success. Part entrepreneurial handbook for the twenty-first century, part manifesto for anyone wondering how work really works in the modern age, REWORK is required reading for anyone tired of business platitudes."
--Chris Anderson, New York Times bestselling author of The Long Tail and Free

"House-husband, housewife, Fortune 500 CEO, cab driver, restaurateur, venture capitalist -- this is 'the book for you,' a book of true wisdom, business wisdom, life wisdom. The clarity, even genius, of this book actually brought me to near-tears on several occasions. Just bloody brilliant, that's what!"
--Tom Peters, New York Times bestselling author of In Search of Excellence, Thriving On Chaos and Leadership

"If given a choice between investing in someone who has read Rework or has an MBA, I'm investing in Rework every time. This is a must read for every entrepreneur."
--Mark Cuban, co-founder of HDNet and Broadcast.com and owner of the Dallas Mavericks

"Inspirational... Rework is a minimalist manifesto that's profoundly practical. In a world where we all keep getting asked to do more with less, the authors show us how to do less and create more."
--Scott Rosenberg, Co-Founder of Salon.com and author of Dreaming In Code and Say Everything

"The brilliance of Rework is that it inspires you to rethink everything you thought you knew about strategy, customers, and getting things done. Read this provocative and instructive book—and then get busy reimagining what it means to lead, compete, and succeed."
--William C. Taylor, Founding Editor of Fast Company and coauthor of Mavericks At Work

"...a Webby manifesto for post-recession success."
--Newsweek

Easy read,practical tips

June 25, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I got this book based on the recommendation of an entrepreneur friend. He was saying that he wished he had his book before he formed his company. I can see why after reading the book. It is very easy to read but it has many practical tips and tricks. I also liked the informal communication style. I think this might be useful for entrepreneurs, product managers, or anyone interested in innovation.

January 10, 2018

Format: Audible Audio EditionVerified Purchase

Very optimistic and hope inspiring, perhaps dangerously so. 37 Signals makes great products, but the reality of their Just Do It overly agile philosophy is a bit naive Simple and LEAN is good. Overly simple and overly LEAN, you won't be taken seriously in most cases. The cult of "breaking all business rules" has taken a lot of people's savings down, so take this with a bit of a grain of salt. VCs arent as apt to throw stupid money at stupid ideas anymore.

I f***ing loved this book !!!!!!!!!

December 4, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I can pretty much say that this book changed my life perspective about business since I am a college student. What I learned?
-Cut the crap, don't be artificial (academic).
-Being unique is all bout being yourself.
-Don't waste your time being the most formal person in the business.
-Don't rush
-That last chapter... woah...

This book draws what real life is all about. I f***ing loved it !!!

Lots of rah-rah

February 21, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

It was a quick read, and I left with a few ideas to try. Mostly, though, it felt like a lot of inspirational humbug (with some cool swear words for emphasis). The author claims to have cut the book in half before publication. Probably could have trimmed another third out of it.

Easy read. Worthy Advice,

November 16, 2010

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

It's a quick read at only 260 pages and every 2nd/3rd page is a picture. That doesn't mean you don't get value for money. But it is a quick page turner. I got through it in a few days on the train.

The authors give you guidance and some strategy on the approach of running a business as a starter (not a startup). It's based on experience with some references, but it is not a theoretical book.

They deliberately defy all the stereotypical actions associated with startups, and for good reason. Drawing on their own successful experiences, they want you to actually give it a go.

I would recommend it as a light read for people running as a Micro-ISV software business, and a how to avoid the classic mistakes. Alot of classic mistakes new starters will make. There is no single way to run the business nor get started. And this is what they explain.

The authors cover all the major aspects of running a micro-ISV, from thinking about your product, to having meetings, making decisions, to getting more people. All of it is quite sensible and very practical. I wouldn't say it's revolutionary, but I found it re-assuring to read and then compare to the way I am doing things, basically helped motivate me to keep going.

The only drawback is that it is a little too anecdotal and don't find that it's gonna turn me into the next Jeff Bezo's, it's more in the lines of operational advice. It's all about execution not trying to find a good idea.

So, in summary, it's a good book to help overcome any mental roadblocks you may have created for yourself in the anxiety about whether to invest time and sweat in starting a small business. I recommend it as a buy.

Quick, shallow book

December 11, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book was an easy read. Which can be very good. However, with only one page on a topic it felt very shallow. There was no evidence to back up any of there rules, only anecdotal observations. Don’t get me wrong, I agreed with about 80+% of it. Just would have been nice to have strong arguments for their “rules”.
