It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work by Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson
4.0
It's a valuable book that has some very good ideas, but seemed too superficial to me.
Some of its concepts ask for more theoretical development — like how venture capital and IPOs drive the culture to "craziness" and how can it be tackled at source.
In other places I missed more detailed examples of how these approaches are applied to messy real-life situations (there were some, but very few).
Still, it's a good book and it's coming from a very good place. Highly recommended to anyone who's into "business literature" or runs companies and teams!
