The “work from home” phenomenon is thoroughly explored in this illuminating new book from bestselling 37signals founders Fried and Hansson, who point to the surging trend of employees working from home (and anywhere else) and explain the challenges and unexpected benefits. Most important, they show why – with a few controversial exceptions such as Yahoo -- more businesses will want to promote this new model of getting things done.

The Industrial Revolution's "under one roof" model of conducting work is steadily declining owing to technology that is rapidly creating virtual workspaces and allowing workers to provide their vital contribution without physically clustering together. Today, the new paradigm is "move work to the workers, rather than workers to the workplace." According to Reuters, one in five global workers telecommutes frequently and nearly ten percent work from home every day. Moms in particular will welcome this trend. A full 60% wish they had a flexible work option. But companies see advantages too in the way remote work increases their talent pool, reduces turnover, lessens their real estate footprint, and improves the ability to conduct business across multiple time zones, to name just a few advantages. In Remote, inconoclastic authors Fried and Hansson will convince readers that letting all or part of work teams function remotely is a great idea--and they're going to show precisely how a remote work setup can be accomplished.

Product description

Review

“The authors review the pros and cons of telecommuting, suggest ideas to enhance efficiency, and tools to optimize output and build a collaborative spirit….easy to digest [and] useful ideas that are worth checking out.”
--Success Magazine

“Presents powerful arguments…the book is an eye opener to the endless benefits that come with remote work...a worthwhile investment of your times and money.”
--Tech Vibes

"Remote is the book that 21st century business leaders have been waiting for: a paradigm-smashing, compulsively readable case for a radically remote workplace. If you're intrigued by extreme teleworking, but have your doubts, Remote is the place to address them. Not a day goes by that I don't think about, talk about, and actually apply the insights in this game-changing book."
--Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking

"What you'll find in Remote is profound advice from guys who've succeeded in the virtual workforce arena. This is a manifesto for discarding stifling location- and time-based organizational habits in favor of best work practices for our brave new virtual and global world. If your organization entrusts you with the responsibility to get things done, this is a must-read.”
--David Allen, internationally best-selling author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity

“Remote is the way I work and live. Now I know why. If you work in an office, you need to read this remarkable book, and change your life.”
--Richard Florida, author of the national bestseller The Rise of the Creative Class: And How It’s Transforming Work, Leisure, Community and Everyday Life

“In the near future, everyone will work remotely, including those sitting across from you. You'll need this farsighted book to prepare for this inversion.”
--Kevin Kelly, Senior Maverick for Wired Magazine and author of What Technology Wants

“Leave your office at the office. Lose the soul-sapping commutes. Jettison the workplace veal chambers and banish cookie-cutter corporate culture. Smart, convincing and prescriptive, Remote offers a radically more productive and satisfying office-less future, better for all (well, except commercial landlords).”
--Adam L. Penenberg, author of Viral Loop: From Facebook to Twitter, How Today’s Smartest Businesses Grow Themselves

“Fried and Hansson show how remote working sets people free--free from drudgery and free to unleash unprecedented creativity and productivity. This workday disruption is necessary if we want to use our new digital tools to full effect. The first gift copy I buy will be for my boss!”
--James McQuivey, PhD, VP and Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, and author of Digital Disruption: Unleashing the Next Wave of Innovation

"Just like we couldn't imagine a cell phone smaller than a toaster in the 1970’s, some companies still believe that they can't get great performance from their employees unless they show up at an office. Virtual work is the wave of the future, and Jason and David do a brilliant job of teaching best practices for both employees and employers."
--Pamela Slim, author of Escape from Cubicle Nation

“Jason and David convincingly argue the merits of remote work, both from the perspective of manager and of worker. For the former, working remotely means more productive teams. For the latter, there is the ultimate luxury: control over one’s environment. Remote work gives you the power to craft your own life, and this book is a roadmap to get that.”
--Penelope Trunk, author of Brazen Careerist: The New Rules for Success

"The decentralization of the workplace is no longer fodder for futurists, it's an everyday reality. Remote is an insight-packed playbook for thriving in the coming decade and beyond."
--Todd Henry, author of The Accidental Creative: How to Be Brilliant at a Moment’s Notice

“Remote shows you how to remove the final barrier to doing the work you were meant to do, with the people you were meant to do it with, in the most rewarding and profitable way possible--this book is your ticket to real freedom!”
--John Jantsch, author of Duct Tape Marketing: The World’s Most Practical Small Business Marketing Guide

Getting started guide for enabling remote work

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 6 December 2021

Verified Purchase

Overall the book gives a feel of its very easy to build and manage a remote team. We get to know the common hurdles and solutions to handle them. Having said that all the solutions are based on assumption that you have responsible people at all positions. There is shortage of that kind of people and the solutions suggested in the book won't work.

A comprehensive collection of guidelines for working remotely, but somewhat underwhelming

Reviewed in India 🇮🇳 on 3 August 2016

Verified Purchase

This book is a comprehensive collection of guidelines for working remotely. It covers all aspects: the advantages of remote working, the disadvantages of working in an office, common objects to remote and how to address them, what to do and not to do when working remotely, how to hire people who are a good fit for working remotely, and so on.

The book is a comprehensive collection of techniques for working remotely. I feel it was worth my time to read it, since working remotely is a reality today. I came close to starting a startup with a remote cofounder, in fact, in addition to working remotely for many years before that, so I think knowing how to work well remotely is an essential skill in today's world.

The book is written in a very clear, crisp and concise manner, as is typical of 37 signals's great book Rework. So it's quick to finish.

The book does seem a little one-sided in its arguments. It tries to pass remote off as having tons of advantages and few disadvantages. That's a little hard to believe. A more balanced approach would have worked better.

For example, this books talks of the disadvantages of working in an office. Fine. So how would you design an office, and the culture, so that you have the benefit of face to face interactions when needed but not interruptions all day? Maybe equip everyone with private offices with doors that close, so that people can close them when they want to concentrate, and open them when they are available to chat?

The book does seem a little facile, but still worth reading, which is why I awarded it four stars.

Gives you a very good look at how working remotely has worked well for the authors’ company, 37signals. While the book highlights the advantages of working remotely for both employees and employers, I was a bit thrown off when they said that sometimes, to solve a particularly gnarly problem or to meet tight deadlines, they work together from one location. So, it seems like while remote work would work most of the time, sometimes you may need to work from one place together, when intense collaboration is required.

The pandemic ushered digital transformation makes this book more relevant than ever in 2021. Though some of the technologies here have been replaced by more advanced ones, the core and crux of remote still remains the same. Remote : Here to stay!

If you're interested in remote working you should not miss this one. After reading you will believe that remote working is not so difficult as it's made out to be. This book concentrates on all the relavant stuff including the main tools required for remote working, importance of communication and the importance of trusting the employee to get work done remotely. A short book, but with so much of value, packed in it.

Instant Messenger the elephant in the corner of the interruption factory

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 February 2017

Verified Purchase

A useful book, to the point that I will order a copy myself after reading a chunk of a borrowed one. However, my main gripe with the tools presented is the inclusion of messenger apps such as Jabber. These, from my own numerous experiences, are a major source of the "interruption factory" old-school culture that prevents people from working effectively and deeply in a modern office. They are equivalent to people walking up to your desk, shouting across the office or having a conversation next to you, and a primary source of interruption for anyone who thinks for a living. Messenger apps have their place, but they are just a text version of the telephone, and equally distracting. Great if you talk for a living, abysmal if you think for your salary. This major criticism aside (and it's a big one as I generally respect Fried's work), this is a useful book for those considering taking the leap or improving their current remote working.

Many of us have been forced into home working as a result of the covid 19 pandemic without much thought of planning. This book provides the roadmap to embrace the best parts of having to work from
Home so it can continue in the future. Some of the tools are a bit outdated now (no mention of zoom for example) but other that this book is entirely relevant for now.

Collection of trivialities

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 16 June 2020

Verified Purchase

I don't normally write reviews, but this was really, really bad. There are no original ideas in the book. For example, one of chapters is about proving that "you can't work from the office when you have a plumber coming". They actually thought it would be important and interesting to learn that. Don't waste you time.

Easy, concise, engaging, informative, but only one perspective on the matter

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 November 2016

Verified Purchase

I think the best advice regarding remote work these days can come from someone who is already doing it. And the authors of this book certainly fit that description. This book is mainly intended for those considering remote work, or those in the early stages (like me) looking for a broader perspective. It's a very light read with short and concise chapters and simple language. It is clearly in favour of remote work so one would have to look at a different book or one's own experience for the downsides of remote work depending on how different one's situation is from that described in the book.
