Rework

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.

读后感

好吧，一本一半都是图画的，关于商业思维的书，但是仍然值得一读。 话说Jason Fried以及他所在的37 Signals，通过一种全新的商业理念和工作模式，让37 Signals的产品和业务在很短时间内获得了很大的成功。这本书按照作者自己的话，是他们创业的一个副产品，顺便阐述了他们的核...  

本文首发于：http://www.elviscai.com/books/rework/ 这本《REWORK》看的我真是热血澎湃，每天走出地铁站的时候——我上班会在地铁上读书——心里都砰砰猛跳，仿佛马上就要开始某项伟大的事业了…… 37Signals是我最为推崇的Web 2.0创业公司，产品出众——无论是团队协作工具...  

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...  

说实话，我无法理解为什么这样一本书，能得到很多人的推崇，因为作者Geek的身份？因为作者横跨技术与商业？还是因为作者独特的写作方式？ 此书的作者不必多讲，Ruby on Rails这块网站的玩意，在程序员中还是有点知名度，但在中国，就我所在，使用者寥寥。37signals也确实是一...

用户评价

一本适合所有人阅读的创业/商业书 核心就是讲求效率最大化 不盲从 不自扰 不搞有的没的 :P

一个下午能看完的书拖了几年才看，但幸好内容不过时，正好解开我最近的几个疑惑，有点想法了。

一点一点在厕所读完 ePub真是好东西

前老板是福建人，客家人那套跟这本书的作者观点很契合，Why is expansion always the goal?精简成本不仅能拉高赢利还能训练自己多线任务操作，锻炼效率的弹性。我的管理经验师承前老板，掌握好支出就能分配好资源，一定要杜绝浪费，人力即财力，能不要招的人一定要省，能租的就不要买，要领略“小”的合体！Small is not just a stepping-stone.Small is a great destination in itself.做强不一定要做大，规模不一定跟赢利挂钩，专门去订阅了书里推荐的Drudge Retort，跟我业余运营一个公众号的经验很有共鸣。亚马逊打折10块钱买的，观点不新但话说的好听，鼓舞人心，让我未来想做的目标增加了信心跟动力。
