Review
There's no jargon or filler here just hundreds of brilliantly simple rules for success 37signals...doesn't just have customers, it has raving fans, and its leaders are web celebrities * Guardian * 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 Every once in a while, a book comes out that changes just about everything. This is one of those books. Ignore it at your peril Great if you're at a fledgling stage of business. It's a little controversial... but I find it brilliant just the same. A quick read too. * Stylist *

Great book from the founders of an undoubtedly successful company. Great for anyone building a business from small foundations or working in management. It made me question a lot of accepted truths and work in a more optimal way. Your customers will thank you.

There was a lot on the why remote working is good and well reasoned arguments for debunking myths. But I was looking for some more details on the how when it comes to a lot of the challenges. But a good read all the same.

Great, uplifting little book that turns conventional wisdom on its head. But makes so much sense for the contemporary world of business. Also a good read in bight-sized chunks. I've recommended it to at least half a dozen clients who have got great value from it.

Excellent book. I've read it about three times now. Whenever I feel myself losing focus or motivation this quick and easy read always gives me a fresh way of thinking about my situation and helps me get back on track. Highly recommended.

Look at Everything and Reassess
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 February 2018Verified Purchase
Quite often a dilemma in business is whether to follow what we consider tried and tested thinking and methods or do you do it your own way. Rework resets your traditional thinking and asks key questions about your business including if you need an office. Quite rightly he proposes that there is NO value in meetings and business plans and we consume large amounts of irrecoverable time dealing with them.
The lifeblood of the book is, make it easy, make it fun and make money. Cut the ego and furnishings out of your business and deal with harsh reality. Hansson and Fried obviously hate waste including words, so the style of the book is short and snappy with real gems of advice on every page. They are very generous with their advice which makes them worth listening to. My only contention is the time we spend on our businesses. I absolutely believe if we’re unproductive, working long hours, hating life, and have no time for socialising or family, then that’s a major problem. But, I love my business and while I don’t need to do it for more than 8 hours per day, I love to do it for more than 8 hours per day. I’m probably more in the mould of Gary V. Reminds me of the quote “I’ll do today what you won’t, so I can do tomorrow what you can’t.”

Filled with excellent plain english advice
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 October 2017Verified Purchase
Read this book cover-to-cover in 53 minutes.
Filled with excellent plain english advice, it's one of the best books out there for business productivity.
Not big on references, but the authors are credible because they built 37Signals, which created Basecamp and Ruby-on-Rails.
A damning critique of old school business types who favour endless meetings, reports, hierarchies and strategic plans.
If you like this also read: 'The 4 Hour Work Week' and 'Steal Like An Artist' - equally inspired.

Snapshot Style, Easy to Digest, Perfect for One Action Per Day People!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2015Verified Purchase
Be warned: this is a book that encourages you to read in sound bites. Mind you, the way things are going, we are all adapting to a 3m30s attention span, so perhaps this is just a sign of the times.
There's also a lot of white space; but then again, I recently went through an information mapping course that says that this is a good thing, so who am I to judge? I would say that around 30% of the book is space of one kind or another, and that the average 'chapter' length is about 3 pages (I've not actually measured this, by the way.)
So, why the 5 stars? Because every word is well-crafted, well-chosen, and easy to both digest and engage with. Don't be like some others that I've come across and miss the point of the book; it gives the illusion of just being a collection of blog posts, but if you scratch beneath the surface and imagine applying their advice right now, you'll find that the questions it makes you ask of yourself and your organisation lead to rapid improvements.
Warning: It *will* change the way you think about work, and change the way you work as well, if you let it!

Thought provoking, worth a read to rework your approach to work!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 December 2018Verified Purchase
Read this as part of training at a new company and loved it - quick read, chapters are quite short and while a lot of it you may already know, it reminds you to keep it at the forefront of your mind. Some great short mantras and points made per chapter. Simple read but thought provoking and truthful - if we all worked the way this book recommends then people would be a lot happier!

Pipette drops of business radicalism. "Dispense as required."
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 August 2012Verified Purchase
Although there is no 'system' to Rethink, there is a method and a style. The method is to take no sacred cow or status quo for granted but to put all to a thoroughly pragmatic test. The style is to whittle each point down to a bare minimum and then rush on to the next. Rework is about bite rather than depth, practice rather than theory. But it would be wrong to place it in a motivational mould, neither is there one overriding motif beyond a challenging of orthodoxies in a fresh and positive way. Unless you count a love of leanness as a theme.
I liked it for two reasons. Firstly, it contains some insights that I thought but didn't have the confidence to say or try. After all, I don't have an MBA, so what could I know? For instance, under 'Hiring', the authors decry the worth of resumes and the usefulness of anything over six months of experience. Also, in 'Takedowns', I always suspected that learning from failure is overrated, planning is a synonym for guessing, and working yourself to death is dumb on so many levels.
Second, it filled my mind with a ton of fresh little experiments to try out in my own business. I especially found this to be the case under 'Competitors' ("decommoditize" or personalise your produce making copying impossible, and "pick a fight" with a big boy in order to contrast yourself with it and make a splash) and 'Promotion' (give away a little free stuff, build an audience not just a cliental, and, most brilliantly, "out-teach your competition" to establish your expertise and trustworthiness). For me, as a trainer, this last point sunk home.
There was an interesting and surprising emphasis on the power of writing through the book. For instance, they contrast optimal business writing with formal or academic writing (216). A criterion for hiring a quality employee, all else being equal, is the standard of their writing; it is a sign of clear thinking and empathy (222). When writing, sound like yourself, not some wannabe lawyer or corporate robot (263); this sort of everyday behaviour will create the right culture from the bottom up.
I would say that Rework is an ideal read for entrepreneurs (especially new starts), the self-employed and owners of SMEs. Those who work FOR someone rather than ON their own enterprise might find it a little shallow or all-too-easy sounding. Even then, the chapters on 'Productivity' and 'Damage Control' are applicable to any workplace. For those of us in the entrepreneurial (oops - 28) trenches it's a tonic; while not quite a tool box, it's certainly a box of tactics, tricks and twists on SOPs that make you want to experiment immediately. It may even shake up the thinking of some old campaigners out there.
Yes, it is thin on detail. Yes, some of the pics seem designed merely as space fillers. (A quirky but relevant diagram for each point would have served far better.) I found myself disappointed at the 'Resources' section, which was just a couple of lists about the authors' business and products. But as a call to action, experimentation and the overturn of many business clichés and customs, I found it highly valuable. I will be reading it and using it again. There's hardly a better recommendation than that.
