Paul&John · 09-24-2012, 03:37 PM

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 · 09-24-2012, 05:48 PM

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

Paul&John · 09-25-2012, 07:29 AM

thanks for the reply, bump for more

Sharky · 09-25-2012, 08:21 AM

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

Paul&John · 09-25-2012, 12:01 PM

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.

Here's a VERY good read from Brad Gosse

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

strobi · 09-25-2012, 12:17 PM

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

MrPotatoBread · 09-25-2012, 01:03 PM

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

Paul&John · 09-26-2012, 12:42 PM

I like that everyone liked it

Already ordered yesterday. Thanks for the feedback ;)

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 · 09-28-2012, 06:26 PM

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

BigBen · 09-29-2012, 12:24 AM

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