Livro de 2013 por isso está francamente desactualizado. Encontrei piada neste livro porque fala como um conjunto de coisas e softwares que vão revolucionar o mundo do trabalho e, hoje, apenas passados 10 anos, já são obsoletas.
No entanto para quem quiser saber mais de remote working ou ter alguns insights sobre isso acho-o pouco informativo e quase cringe. :P

Reading it now, it seems like a lot of very obvious talking points with nothing ground breaking to contribute. That said, it's a very easy, quick read - if a little aggravating for workforces that got to experience remote work only to later be forced back into the office to justify the real estate footprint.
I was pretty disappointed with this book. I'm such a huge fan of 37Signals in general and Jason Fried in particular, so perhaps my expectations were too high. One of the things I love about Fried's writing is his nuance and finesse, and both were notably missing from this book. A good chunk of it was entirely obvious, and a whole lot of it was unnecessarily strident and condescending. There was also nothing new or groundbreaking and very little research. I kind of feel like reading the book was a waste of time. Also, many of the examples mentioned are very specific to 37Signals and wouldn't apply to the rest of us, which made for a frustrating read. Still a huge fan of Fried, but I'll stick to his blog posts and magazine columns instead.
This book is perfect for those who run companies and need a little push to understand this remote work environment and the benefits of it. I agreed with and knew a lot of what was said.
That's not the first book from DHH I read, and there's something that's common for all of them: how amazing and human their approach to business is.
This book talks about the benefits of a remote workforce. Not only the benefits for the company but especially for the individuals. It dissects the things we keep waiting until we retire to do, like traveling or living closer to friends and family. It was a great read with lots of meaningful information.

This book is a little irrelevant today given the worldwide pandemic we're in. I did find some useful tidbits in it about how to manage teams remotely, but the advice glossed the surface.
It read like a medium or LinkedIn article, which isn't bad, but just doesn't have much depth to the content. That said, it was enjoyable enough and a quick read. If you need to convince your bosses that being remote is not all bad, this book will give you plenty of bullet points to use.

Amazing book on the productivity and life improvements of working from home. It's better for the employee and it's better for the business too.
The employee is happier without HOURS of commuting, and the business can use that precious office estate to run key business that couldn't be run remotely.
It also indicates how a lot of work can be run remotely (cough cough COVID-19).
It also assists with how to be even more productive while working from home, and some tips to keep going.
Working from home is here. Businesses will see the benefit of it.
It's up to them to decide if they want to keep their employees or keep them coming in the office - even for just a few days a week.
4.8/5

This is good to read in small doses, since each chapter feels more like a series of short blogs posts. About half of the book seems more directed at businesses and how a remote workplace can be beneficial for them, while the other half focuses on the individual. As someone mostly exploring advice for while looking for remote work and freelancing, I found this to be most enjoyable in bits of skimming and focusing more on the latter types of chapters.
