Now, they build on their message with a bold, iconoclastic strategy for creating the ideal company culture—what they call "the calm company." Their approach directly attack the chaos, anxiety, and stress that plagues millions of workplaces and hampers billions of workers every day.Long hours, an excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honor for modern professionals. But it should be a mark of stupidity, the authors argue. Sadly, this isn’t just a problem for large organizations—individuals, contractors, and solopreneurs are burning themselves out the same way. The answer to better productivity isn’t more hours—it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction and persistent stress.It’s time to stop celebrating Crazy, and start celebrating Calm, Fried and Hansson assert.Fried and Hansson have the proof to back up their argument. "Calm" has been the cornerstone of their company’s culture since Basecamp began twenty years ago. Destined to become the management guide for the next generation, It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work is a practical and inspiring distillation of their insights and experiences. It isn’t a book telling you what to do. It’s a book showing you what they’ve done—and how any manager or executive no matter the industry or size of the company, can do it too. Review: Everyone should read this book - It's a great book which tells you everything that is wrong with the corporate culture, and how you don't need to run a company like that to be profitable. This book introduces the work culture of empathy, of passion for work, and an equal passion for life outside work, where you don't treat people as commodities. I have always tried to implement it, and was heartening to see someone talk about it openly, finally. A must read for everyone. It's a Healthy Work Culture 101 guide. Review: Good read with some radical ideas... - This book was a refreshing read and helped put many things in perspective which we otherwise have taken for granted in anything that we do. Sure, it will take some courage and some experimentation to accept some of the ideas and it's easy to dismiss some as "it was possible because the authors were founders and could thus do it", but there are some good points in the book that should be easy to implement in your own teams without disrupting the broader "norms" and am sure it will be helpful. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #532,443 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #524 in Entrepreneurship (Books) #1,253 in Self-Help for Memory Improvement #1,337 in Creativity (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,635 Reviews | ## Images ![It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work: A Practical Guide to Sustainable Productivity Through Calm Company Culture and Effective Leadership - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nvF-p7odL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everyone should read this book *by A***L on 24 June 2019* It's a great book which tells you everything that is wrong with the corporate culture, and how you don't need to run a company like that to be profitable.
