具体描述
In this timely manifesto, the authors of the New York Times bestseller Rework broadly reject the prevailing notion that long hours, aggressive hustle, and "whatever it takes" are required to run a successful business today.
In Rework, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson introduced a new path to working effectively. Now, they build on their message with a bold, iconoclastic strategy for creating the ideal company culture—what they call "the calm company." Their approach directly attack the chaos, anxiety, and stress that plagues millions of workplaces and hampers billions of workers every day.
Long hours, an excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for modern professionals. But it should be a mark of stupidity, the authors argue. Sadly, this isn’t just a problem for large organizations—individuals, contractors, and solopreneurs are burning themselves out the same way. The answer to better productivity isn’t more hours—it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction and persistent stress.
It’s time to stop celebrating Crazy, and start celebrating Calm, Fried and Hansson assert.
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.

##现在看章节标题和长度就能大概知道是 basecamp 又出书了 😏 从号召人们从OT中解放出来的角度切入，重申了一些在 rework 和 remote 里声明过的观点
评分##不是鸡汤文 有些想法💡比较新颖可以借鉴 不过不确定是不是只适用于小公司 现在越来越觉得大公司难管 公司的growth确实是个大学问 人多了personality多了必然politics就多了 书里有一章还refer到了大姐夫的disagree an的commit 看来亚麻的LP影响很广啊
评分##社畜爽文。比我读什么《幸福的科学》《工作不焦虑》要治愈多了。Basecamp 能这么独树一帜的走一条手工作坊般克制冷静的道路，很大部分是因为人家就没有融资。而大部分陷入互联网时代资本游戏的创业公司已经注定与这份奢侈的克制冷静绝缘了。
评分一看以为是工作鸡汤，二看发现是职场反常识合辑，再看原来是史上最佳招聘说明（没有之一），以及为中小企业变革组织量身定制的 Redesign 指北。 Getting Real--Rework--Remote，渐渐地，basecamp 已经变成新职业形态、新协作共同体、创新个体的指路明灯了。
评分##理性，克制，有智慧。 克制与耐心是太过难得的品质了，无论对个人还是公司，尤其是对公司。
评分##其实是打的是明星篮球，非说自己是体系篮球；不过还是好看。
评分##NYPL 2nd book! 1. 过度工作是不可持续的，是对自身的消耗 2. 选择值得做的事情，敢于说不 3. 集中整块时间工作，设置office hour或者延迟回复信息来避免不必要的干扰 4. 好好睡觉，保证8小时的睡眠 5. 远离那些提倡以公司为家的企业
评分##一种具有世界观的公司文化。
评分##提高效率的方法不是疯狂加班，这只会导致工作分心和更多的压力。疲惫的员工难以保证高效，睡眠不足的中层管理者也会变得格外暴躁。
