Jason Fried is the co-founder and President of 37signals, a privately-held Chicago-based company committed to building the best web-based tools possible with the least number of features necessary.
37signals' products include Basecamp, Highrise, Backpack, Campfire, Ta-da List, and Writeboard. 37signals also developed and open-sourced the Ruby on Rails programming framework. 37signals' products do less than the competition -- intentionally.
37signals weblog, Signal vs. Noise, is read by over 100,000 people every day.
Jason believes there's real value and beauty in the basics. Elegance, respect for people's desire to simply get stuff done, and honest ease of use are the hallmarks of 37signals products.
David Heinemeier Hansson is the cofounder of Basecamp and NYT bestselling coauthor of REWORK and REMOTE. He's also the creator of the software toolkit Ruby on Rails, which has been used to launch and power Twitter, Shopify, GitHub, Airbnb, Square, and over a million other web applications. Originally from Denmark, he moved to Chicago in 2005, and now lives between the US and Spain with his wife and two sons. In his spare time, he enjoys 200-mph race cars in international competition, taking cliche pictures of sunsets and kids, and ranting far too much on Twitter.
Rework shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business.
Most business books give you the same old advice: Write a business plan, study the competition, seek investors, yadda yadda. If you're looking for a book like that, put this one back on the shelf.
Read it and you'll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don't need outside investors, and why you're better off ignoring the competition. The truth is, you need less than you think. You don't need to be a workaholic. You don't need to staff up. You don't need to waste time on paperwork or meetings. You don't even need an office. Those are all just excuses.
What you really need to do is stop talking and start working. This book shows you the way. You'll learn how to be more productive, how to get exposure without breaking the bank, and tons more counterintuitive ideas that will inspire and provoke you.
With its straightforward language and easy-is-better approach, Rework is the perfect playbook for anyone who’s ever dreamed of doing it on their own. Hardcore entrepreneurs, small-business owners, people stuck in day jobs they hate, victims of "downsizing," and artists who don’t want to starve anymore will all find valuable guidance in these pages.
2013年12月27日更新 今天偶然发现了之前写的这篇书评,一看日期刚好是三年前的今天。已经记不太清当时写这篇书评的情境,但从文字里还能看得出年(gou)少(pi )轻(bu)狂(dong)的印记,评论里也被各路大牛拍了不少砖。 当时我还是一名学生,还未料到半年后...
评分主要的思想是: 1,精简:最大程度上发挥你现有的资源,并外包其它资源。不要过多地准备和考虑未来。减少你的选择,然后专注于正在做的。 2,灵活:迅速根据当前的内外环境转变思想和做法,不断改变去趋近“当前的完美”(在这个时间段,我的做法是完美的)。 3,快:立即决...

评分本书为一些不同的人而写:已经有一家成功建立运作的公司而未想过创业的人。 互略真实世界——世界也许对于他们来说是真实的, 但并不表示你一定要生活在其中。真实的世界不是一个地方,而是一个借口。 被高估的“从过失中学习”——失败不是成功的先决条件。应该从成功中学习...

评分常识而已,而且你不去做读这本书无感
评分短平快,少而精。
评分The problem comes when you postpone decisions in the hope that a perfect answer will come to you later. It won't. You're as likely to make a great call today as you are tomorrow.
评分开头比较猛,后面越写越平淡,总体新意有限,但是挺实在。我想任何一个有自尊的商学院都不会推荐学生读这本没什么技术含量的书,但实际上每个创业者都应该读读,尤其是中国的。
