Business books.. Rework from Jason Fried any good?

[Paul&John]

Hi there!

Looking for some good business books (new, old... doesn't matter). The 'Rework' got some pretty good reviews, or maybe it's just a hype.. anyone read it? http://www.amazon.com/Rework-Jason-Fried/dp/0307463745

Or can you guys suggest me a good read?

[JerseyPuma]

it's pretty good and a quick read. 37signals guys wrote it.

[Paul&John]

thanks for the reply, bump for more

[Sharky]

Yeah highly recommended. The short chapters make it an easy read as well. I finished it in one day.

[Paul&John]

cool, then will order it.. any other business books worth reading?

Many. You would probably be better off focusing on one sector of "business" and read all about that, then move onto another. There are practically an endless amount of good books in the business field, ranging from strategy to time management, sales tactics, etc. etc.

Yeah I know that it is a pretty broad subject, but I think there are still some MUST READ books out there

Yeah, it's a good read. Kind of refreshing to read.

Yes, this is def a great book to read. I reference it all the time as it sits on my bookshelf next to me.

Another one I'm about to start is The Lean Startup by Eric Reiss

I've always found that books I can read in one day - preferably while sitting on the toilet and dropping a loaf - are much more helpful than the ones I have spend time reading and studying.

Honestly, everything you need to know can be learned while taking shit. Just ask Currently Obese. Or Sober. Or Redundant. I forget. The "poo" guy.

Actually that's a pretty good idea.. didn't know such an option exists..

[Phoenix69]

summary.com or Google 'Executive Book Summary' for others and you're sorted

37signals first book Getting Real is a good read too that's focused on the dev side of things.

I read rework and it's good,but some of chapters are completely nonsense,like "if you need workers,then hire them".

[Paul&John]

OK so I've just finished Rework, it was ok and a really short one.. like every other or third page is a picture lol

Let me look up the other books mentioned here
