Rework By Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson

Rework isn’t your typical business book—and that’s exactly the point. Written by the founders of Basecamp, Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, this modern classic is a sharp, contrarian guide to building a lean, profitable, and sustainable business without the corporate nonsense.

In bite-sized chapters packed with hard truths, Rework shatters popular myths about entrepreneurship: you don’t need outside investors, a 5-year plan, or to work 80-hour weeks to succeed. Instead, Fried and Hansson offer simple, clear principles around focus, minimalism, speed, and authenticity that help you build a business that actually works for you.
