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 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.

Bestselling authors and cohosts of the TED podcast Fixable, Frances
Frei and Anne Morriss reinvent the playbook for how to lead
change—with a radical approach that moves fast, builds trust, and
accelerates excellence. Speed has gotten a bad name in business,
much of it deserved. When Facebook made "Move fast and break
things" an informal company motto, it fueled a widely held belief
that we can either make progress or take care of people, one or the
other. That a certain amount of wreckage is the price we have to
pay for inventing the future. Leadership experts Frances Frei and
Anne Morriss argue that this belief is deeply flawed—and that it
keeps you from building a great company. Helping executives and
entrepreneurs solve their toughest problems over the past decade,
Frei and Morriss learned that the trade-off between speed and
excellence is false. The best leaders solve hard problems with
fierce urgency while making their organizations—employees,
customers, and shareholders—even stronger. They move fast and fix
things. Based on their work with fast-moving companies such as
Uber, Riot Games, and WeWork, Frei and Morriss reveal the five
essential steps to moving fast and fixing things. You'll learn to:
Identify the real problem holding you back Build and rebuild trust
in your company Create a culture where everyone can thrive
Communicate powerfully as a leader Go fast by empowering your team
With a one-week plan to fix your problems on a fast cycle time of
one step per day, this book is your guide to maximizing impact and
reinventing your approach to change. By the end of the week, you
won't just have a road map for solving your company's toughest
problems—you'll already be well on your way, improving your
company at exhilarating speed.
In Mirrors, Galeano smashes aside the narrative of conventional
history and arranges the shards into a new pattern, to reveal the
past in radically altered form. From the Garden of Eden to
twenty-first-century cityscapes, we glimpse fragments in the lives
of those who have been overlooked by traditional histories: the
artists, the servants, the gods and the visionaries, the black
slaves who built the White House, and the women who were bartered
for dynastic ends
