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 HeinemeierHansson 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 workload, 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.Fried and Hansson have the proof to back up their argument. "Calm" has been the cornerstone of their company’s culture since Basecamp began twenty years ago. Destined to become the management guide for the next generation, It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work is a practical and inspiring distillation of their insights and experiences. It isn’t a book telling you what to do. It’s a book showing you what they’ve done—and how any manager or executive no matter the industry or size of the company, can do it too.

A different path to run a business

Not right or wrong but a different way of running a business - one at your own pace and trajectory

Good read with some radical ideas...

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 26 December 2018

Verified Purchase

This book was a refreshing read and helped put many things in perspective which we otherwise have taken for granted in anything that we do. Sure, it will take some courage and some experimentation to accept some of the ideas and it's easy to dismiss some as "it was possible because the authors were founders and could thus do it", but there are some good points in the book that should be easy to implement in your own teams without disrupting the broader "norms" and am sure it will be helpful.

Everyone should read this book

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 24 June 2019

Verified Purchase

It's a great book which tells you everything that is wrong with the corporate culture, and how you don't need to run a company like that to be profitable. This book introduces the work culture of empathy, of passion for work, and an equal passion for life outside work, where you don't treat people as commodities. I have always tried to implement it, and was heartening to see someone talk about it openly, finally. A must read for everyone. It's a Healthy Work Culture 101 guide.

Book adds a new perspective to readers mind, we don’t need to follow all the advices given here... but i found some of the truly exceptional ideas that I could implement immediately in my org. In my suggestion, everyone must read the book once and absorb what they like at their own discretion.

Odious

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 3 February 2019

Verified Purchase

Some smug twerps spend a few hundred sketchy words telling us why our jobs are awful and theirs are brilliant. Cheers, pal. Any constructive advice you can offer instead of stating the totally bleeding obvious? Nope. Just a padded out hundred or so pages of bumf basically saying how awesome your own company is. Thanks, I just paid for you to advertise to me. They try to write it in an overly simple style - one chapter per idea. It's a sham. Buy a real I.T. or self development book and then learn something useful.

If only all companies worked like this.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 13 April 2019

Verified Purchase

I've been an I.T contractor for 30+ years. Been around a LOT. I would have given up contracting in a HEARTBEAT if any place in the UK behaved even 10% like Basecamp. I'm fairly sure that the book is a collection of the blog posts from the authors, Jason Fried and David Heinemeir-Hansson. However, almost every single 'chapter' shows the flaws in how most of the business' I've worked in operate. Basecamp's business revolves around a subscription model for its products, and it's this model that allows it to implement some of its working practices outlined in this book. I can't imagine how a business that revolves around fixed price contracts, or work-for-hire could have no plan beyond 6 weeks (Chapter 'Make it up as you go'). Another reason for the companies success is that its technical from the top to the bottom. DHH was the creator of Ruby On Rails and holds some very contentious opinions on development practices so he's well versed in the problems developers face in their daily toil. This book is a wealth of hard-won knowledge, and while it's unlikely you'll see any other company implement probably 20% of the ideas in this book, it'll leave you wishing, like me, that you could work at a company like Basecamp.

Definitely worth reading, but not as succinct as Rework

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 25 December 2018

Verified Purchase

This is a great book and definitely worth a read. That being said, I'll share my perspective based on reading "Rework" shortly beforehand.

Like Rework, this book provides fresh perspective on running a business. Many of the topics are common sense in hindsight, yet rarely seen in businesses focusing exclusively on profits. A few chapters are truly insightful and have stuck with me, particularly those relating to pricing products. The chapter on employee benefits made me want to work at Basecamp, which was perhaps the point.

Unlike Rework, however, this book felt long-winded in places. A few of the chapters felt light on content and stretched to fill the word count. It's possible my opinion is coloured by Rework, where common ground is covered. Perhaps this left me thinking some chapters are "obvious", when fresh readers would find all of it insightful.

I'm definitely a fan of the Basecamp guys and will no doubt buy their next book, should they write one. If you've read none of their previous work, definitely give this a read and pick up Rework too. If more businesses were run this way, the world would be a much better place.

The nice side of business

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 17 January 2020

Verified Purchase

Nice.

It’s good to read business advice from successful business people that is so calm and takes a different line from almost any other I’ve read. Assuming working for Basecamp really is as good as the picture the authors paint then anyone working there is pretty lucky.

A few stylistic quibbles aside this is a great enjoyable read. The only bit which jars for Europeans is flagging 3 weeks paid leave as something special - everyone I know gets at least 5 (excluding public holidays which are on top). But this is one detail in a book full showing a really pleasant attitude to work and business.

If you happen to work for an awful employer I’m not sure if this book will irritate or inspire though!

No nonsense type of book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 19 November 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is really concise and straight talking/ no nonsense. Written by two founders of a IT company, they provide actual really directly implementable techniques/strategies to manager your life/company to ensure that it doesn't fall into the same old overwork no balance/stressed out workforce trap. I was surprised at how many radical and precise points/recommendations they give- e.g. working only 32 hours a week during May - September, 30 days sabbatical for workers, etc. I do not own a company, and will probably not likely to in the future, but this book really helped me to rethink what my work is about/what I am to do and question why I keep pushing myself to the max. A really easy read- finished it in a couple of days.
