Remote: Office Not Required by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson
3.0
I'm probably not the target audience of this book. I'm probably not the target audience because I've been working remotely for over three years in companies that are nearly entirely remote.
The book basically confirms what I've learned over the years. It told me what I already know about working remotely.
The book does a good job of bringing up concerns that people often have when thinking about working remotely. It brings up both the good and bad parts of working remotely. Does it offer detailed solutions to the problems? Not really, it sort of glosses over them with solutions but if you're trying to implement a remote work program you'll need to dig deeper.
If you're interested in getting an idea about what remote work can be like then this book is worth reading. If you're trying to get remote work supported at your company then this book is worth reading and probably worth encouraging others to also read.
There are a lot of flavors of remote work. This book covers some of them.
It was useful as it brought up some studies and pointed out some larger companies that also support remote (also known as telecommuting, working from home).
This book is short and a quick, easy read. It is worth reading if you are thinking of doing remote work.
