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.com Review

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

A Wonderful Kick in the Head.

March 5, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I have never read a book like this in my life. I loved it. But it was not what I expected. This is a book of off-grid business principles and strategy -- not actionable step-by-step instructions. The tone, voice, and style are atypical for a professional business book, which makes it unique. I believe this is the author's point well-made. It's easy reading, personal, and very provocative.

My one complaint is that there is not always justification for their claims. There is a lot of straight talk, which for me, were points well-taken. I get it. Some have said the book sounds arrogant. Well, okay. You're entitled to that opinion. But honestly, I didn't take it that way at all. I felt they were passionate about the points they made. It had a very forward tone. One thing I will mention is that perhaps some of their points needed more "proof". But the style was refreshing for me, personally. I enjoyed reading it. As a business book, it breaks all the rules. And that is precisely the point.

If you're looking for a book giving you step-by-step instructions on how to build a business -- this is not the book for you. Many who expected this were disappointed. This is not a traditional book by any standard. It's not a book that provides "how-to's". It's a book of principles. The key for the reader is being able to take their principles, evaluate them, and mold it to your individual business model with a strategy that fits. If you can't do that -- you're going to hate this book. It's not going to tell you what to do -- it's giving you fundamental principles to apply. Not all of these principles will work for every business. It would be foolish to think they would. A lot of successful companies don't follow these principles at all. Time-honored truth reveals there's more than one way to do things, and every business is different. But what I appreciate is that 37Signals found their niche in the business world, realized they had achieved something great, had something different and unique to offer -- and shared it with the business world in a style all their own. It's brave. It's bold. It's even brash, perhaps. But this book is not gospel. So don't take it as such. For me, there are pearls of wisdom here that cannot be ignored. And some of their advice is so risky, it needs to be evaluated carefully if embarked upon and applied. But if it worked for them -- in their own right, they can claim it and share it. And that's precisely the message of this book.

The book is persuasive, but don't read it blindly. Carefully consider their points and consider the possibility of applying them successfully.

In closing, do yourself a favor -- get the book. It really is worth it. But have the proper expectations.

My advice would be this: Don't start a business or organization of any kind until you have read this. Every CEO needs to read this. Every employee needs to read this. Every entrepreneur needs to read this. Do you have a job? You need to read this. Do you work? You need to read this. A first-grader could read this. Super easy. Super fast. Super information. I believe everyone needs to read this. Yes, everyone. And once you do, I bet you'll read it again.

Five stars. Well-earned.

Good ideas, but why did I pay for this?

August 31, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I tend to agree with a lot of the philosophies expressed, but there is very little meat here behind them. The whole book is just 1-2 paragraph statements about different ideas they have about workplaces. Almost none are supported with specific examples, data, or even much detail.

Maybe just a personal opinion, but I don't think it's worth buying. At least take a look at a preview first - the whole book is the same format...

90% Solution in a 25% Book

September 13, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This little book was only about 25,000 words, which is 1/4 the volume of a typical 350-page book I love to read and experience and learn from.

Amazon charged me more than $20, including shipping and handling, for this 270-pager that should've been pared down to less than 100 pages.

I should've paid about $7.95 + S/H for Rework. Too much hype and over-marketing bloated what should've been a five-star read. And that pisses me off, feeling I got ripped off by Currency (division of Crown Publishing, a division of PenguinRandomHouse) or whoever the he!! published this. So much consolidating in the New York trade publishing arena, and they're still ripping us off.

As for content, it's great. Period. Short "chapters" that make for a real page-turner. Each "chapter" is only about a page, and that's with double-spaced lines.

Reminds me of a James Patterson novel: HUGE font, large line spacing. His 400-page novels are actually 200-page novels. And I had to pay for all those extra 200 pages. What crap.

Unfortunately, the style of this cool book has far overshadowed its content, and I feel ripped off. While I do like to spend my money on good value, and the content is great value, I also want to feel I got my money's worth.

With this 100-page book masquerading as a 270-page book, I am not satisfied.

I seriously doubt anyone is reading this review at this point, but here goes anyway:

Every point these guys make is 100% valid and actionable. The only thing I would add is a "chapter" on hiring a great editor, not necessarily a writer. Editors who also write are the best communicators. On paper, at least. Writers only write (mostly), and they're not usually great at making a first draft a great second or third draft.

So true are their words of experiential experience: meetings are a waste of time, planning is really just guessing, hire the best people from all over the world (not just in your city), hire those who've not been to university (let alone graduated with a 4.0 GPA), most really cool geniuses would never even consider university let alone Harvard Business School (CRAP!).

Hard as it is to get past being ripped off by Currency (you guys are too impressed with yourselves, by the way), I highly recommend Rework. You can purchase used version of Rework for $3-$6. At least you'll be smarter than I was and still enjoy the content.

One last gripe: the Kindle version is $14.99!!! THAT is a ripoff. Shame on Currency. Shame on Crown. Shame on Penguin. Shame on Random House.

And shame on me for paying full price for a 25% book.

One of the best business principle books

July 4, 2018

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book completely changed my view on how to work in a business and build a start up. It's an extremely fast and easy read with very simple to follow examples which most anyone can apply to their daily lives.

I've been able to apply the principles of this book to organizations ranging from nine people to organizations with thousands of people and they scale just fine given the right train of thought.

If you're someone who wants to gain some strong leadership insight and discover what it means to have an entrepreneurial spirit, this is it.

Easy read. But wait

December 3, 2017

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Easy read. But wait, each quick-chapter packs a bunch.. powerful lessons that can seriously
enhance the way business is run. Some of these lessons I 'sort of' had in the back of my head
for years... like why do so many meetings suck, or why certain business leaders I'd worked
closely with were 'fast decision makers' and more. I love how each chapter gives an example,
sometimes real world business example, to illustrate the point.
