Remote: Office Not Required by David Heinemeier Hansson

5.0

As a proud supporter of remote work, this book pulls out all the stops. I fail to understand anyone's argument for going back to the office and Hansson shuts those arguments down. The micro-managers who are hell-bent on getting everyone back post-COVID could learn a thing or two from this piece. It even highlights how many were working remotely from a decade before the pandemic, but COVID launched remote work into the mainstream, shining light on the same arguments and hang-ups people were having beforehand.

There is also something to be said here about limiting beliefs - beliefs on what we all think work is and work should be. We limit ourselves by believing that it has to be 40 hours a week, or constantly logged into a computer, and end up burning out because of these beliefs. Really interesting read. Highly recommended.
