Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the authors of the New York Times bestseller Rework, are back with a manifesto to combat all your modern workplace worries and fears.It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work is a direct successor to Rework, the instant bestseller that showed readers a new path to working effectively. Now Fried and Heinemeier Hansson have returned with a new strategy for the ideal company culture – what they call “the calm company”. It is a direct attack on the chaos, anxiety and stress that plagues millions of workplaces and billions of people working their day jobs.Working to breaking point with long hours, excessive workload, and a lack of sleep have become a badge of honour for many people these days, when it should be a mark of stupidity. This isn’t just a problem for large organisations; individuals, contractors and solopreneurs are burning themselves out in the very same way. As the authors reveal, the answer isn’t more hours. Rather, it’s less waste and fewer things that induce distraction, always-on anxiety and stress.It is time to stop celebrating crazy and start celebrating calm.Fried and Hansson have the proof to back up their argument.

Audiokniha: Nastal čas skoncovat s érou přepracovanosti, chaosu, stresu a otravného „nestíhám“. Obdiv už nesklízí workoholik, ale ten, kdo si při zachování profesionality dokáže v klidu užít své odpolední volno i víkendy a dokáže se vyspat do růžova. Revolucionáři firemní kultury a autoři bestselleru Restart, mimo jiné tvůrci platformy Basecamp (bez níž by tato novinka nevyšla, neboť Melvil „běží“ celý na Basecampu), přicházejí s dalším převratným konceptem: KLIDNÁ FIRMA. Je to místo, kde vedení aktivně pečuje o to nejhodnotnější, co má k dispozici – o své zaměstnance. Jejich čas a energie je totiž vůbec nejcennějším zdrojem – a jen krátkozraký management nechá zápal svých zaměstnanců vyhasnout. Autoři zvěstují, že je čas přestat oslavovat „šílení“ a začít oslavovat „klid“. Fried a Heinemeier Hanson své argumenty umí podložit: už při zakládání Basecampu se stal klid pilířem firemní kultury. Knihu V práci nemusí být blázinec tvoří praktický a inspirativní destilát poznatků a zkušeností, jež může uvést do života kterýkoli manažer či šéf – a je jedno, v jakém oboru či v jak velké společnosti. Je to návod pro management zítřka. Pamatujte: ani ve vaší práci nemusí být blázinec a na emaily netřeba odpovídat v neděli odpoledne. SLOVO AUTORA „Tak si představte ty reakce, ...

For too long our lives have been dominated by the ''under one roof'' Industrial Revolution model of work. That era is now over. As remote working is becoming increasingly more flexible, there is no longer a reason for the daily roll call, of the need to be seen with your butt on your seat in the office. The technology and necessity to work remotely and to avoid the daily grind of commuting and meetings has finally come of age. Bestselling authors Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson are the masters of making it work at tech company 37signals. Remote: Office Not Required combines eye-opening ideas with entertaining narrative. With its almost prescient content, the book will convince you that working remotely increases productivity and innovation, and it will also teach you how to get it right - whether you are a manager, working solo or one of a team. Chapters include: ''Talent isn''t bound by the hubs'', ''It''s the technology, stupid'', ''When to type, when to talk'', ''Stop managing the chairs'' and ''The virtual water cooler''. Brilliantly simple and refreshingly illuminating this is a call to action to end the tyranny of being shackled to the office.

If you enjoy video games as a pastime, you are certainly not alone—billions of people worldwide now play video games. However, you may still find yourself reluctant to tell others this fact about yourself. After all, we are routinely warned that video games have the potential to cause addiction and violence. And when we aren’t being warned of their outright harms, we are told we should be doing something better with our time, like going outside, socializing with others, or reading a book. Playing video games is thus often seen at best as a waste of time, and at worst a source of violent tragedy.Why It’s OK to Be a Gamer takes on the pervasive assumption that playing video games is a childish and time-wasting hobby, and a potentially addictive and dangerous one at that. It argues instead that there are many ways in which gaming can help us flourish, for example by: developing genuine friendships and other meaningful relationships with others, helping us cultivate a virtuous personal character, giving us a unique aesthetic experience, providing us with psychological benefits, and just plain helping us relax and enjoy ourselves. Video games are not just for those with no life; on ... Unknown localization key: "more"
