It Doesnat Have to Be Crazy at Work

Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the authors of the New York Times bestseller Rework, are back with a manifesto to combat all your modern workplace worries and fears.It Doesnt Have to Be Crazy at Work is a direct successor to Rework, the instant bestseller that showed readers a new path to working effectively. Now Fried and Heinemeier Hansson have returned with a new strategy for the ideal company culture  what they call athe calm companya It is a direct attack on the chaos, anxiety and stress that plagues millions of workplaces and billions of people working their day jobs.Working to breaking point with long hours, excessive business, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honour for many people these days, when it should be a mark of stupidity. This isnt just a problem for large organisations; individuals, contractors and solopreneurs are burning themselves out in the very same way. As the authors reveal, the answer isnt more hours. Rather, its less waste and fewer things that induce distraction, always-on anxiety and stress.It is time to stop celebrating crazy and start celebrating calm.
