“Rework” is one of those books that does not take itself too seriously. It is a quick read. While I did not uncover any revolutionary secrets, I did appreciate the authors attitudes toward common business practices. They have built a successful small business. They have eschewed the grandiose plans for IPOs, org charts that cover entire conference room tables, and all the other BS that typically accompany the “modern tech company”. Their advice is, that it ok to do that. Build a business you can live with rather than one you can sell. You all end up doing something that you find worthwhile, rather than always chasing smoke and mirrors. This book is somewhat light on substance, however, it provides a decent antidote to all the demotivating process and bureaucracy that plagues business. Worth a read to be sure, even if just for the distraction.
