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 Doesn’t 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 “the calm company”. 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 isn’t 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 isn’t more hours. Rather, it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction, always-on anxiety and stress. It is time to stop celebrating crazy and start celebrating calm. ‘This book is funny, well written and iconoclastic and by far the best thing on management published this year.’ – The Economist JASON FRIED and DAVID HEINEMEIER HANSSON are the New York Times bestselling authors of Rework and Remote, and the founders of Basecamp, a trailblazing software company. • FOLLOW-UP TO MASSIVE BESTSELLER: This is a book for our times and a direct follow-up to the authors’ Rework, which has sold over 500,000 copies.• PUNCHY, READABLE STYLE: Written in the same short, essay style as Rework and Remote, with bursts of creative illustration and moments meant to invoke calm.• Audience: business leaders, entrepreneurs, human resource executives – and anyone who wants to work better, smarter and calmer.
