It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson

2.0

Mostly, this book reads (or sounds, since I listened to the audiobook) like an extended recruitment ad for Basecamp, the company founded by the authors. A not ineffective one, to be sure! But not exactly helpful.

The remainder is advice primarily for owners of or high-level managers at businesses with a significant number of employees. Very little is relevant to individual contributors, or to the self-employed, or to lower-level managers who can't affect major policies and benefits at their companies.
