In ReWork the founders of 37 signals discuss the problems with the work place status quo and how new entrepreneurs can avoid these traps and create a successful business in the modern day. Most of their lessons are in the form of their experiences starting and building 37 signals.

It’s a pretty interesting look at how they have succeeded in a seemingly crowded industry, but also sounds a lot like other books on this topic. You’ve heard it before, meetings are wasteful, 9 to 5 is not a natural way to live, putting in more hours doesn’t equal more productivity, etc. It is good to re establish these points from time to time so as not to get pulled back into conventional thought, but it wasn’t necessarily mind-blowing.

I picked up the audio version and was able to get through it pretty quickly as we were driving down the coast. So it’s definitely a worthwhile read, but not required unless thsi is a new topic for you
