What’s it about?

There are many books available on how to successfully run a business, yet the vast majority proffer wildly outdated principles and tired philosophies, wheeling out the same old advice wrapped in a slightly different package. None really seem to tell it like it is. Worst of all, many use clichéd catchphrases and terminology that simply does not apply to the reality of today’s business world.

Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, coauthors of ReWork, and cofounders of innovative web-development company 37signals (now known as Basecamp), understand that such predictable business notions no longer bring great success. Rather, it is necessary to think and operate outside of conventional business wisdom. The nontraditional path they’ve taken has enabled them to stay small and stay true to themselves while shaking up the corporate world, and in turn making millions of dollars of profit each year.

This book won’t offer you trite business advice that will have you following the beaten path traveled by so many other unremarkable companies. Instead it offers the truth about creating and running a business in the modern world, delivered by people who have been working in it successfully for over
