REWORK by JASON FRIED & DAVID HEINEMEIER HANSSON

"この本は、スモールビジネスをやっている人、やりたい人への応援歌ですね。一方で、普通に会社勤めしている人にとっては、仕事の仕方や考え方について勉強になること多々あると思います。実際に成功しているIT会社の経営者が、世間に蔓延るビジネスの常識に真っ向から疑問を投げかけ、自ら実践した経験をベースに語っているから説得力があります..." "この本は以下のような人にお勧めです。①ビジネスや英語が好きな大学生②チーム単位（10人前後）でお仕事をされている方...本の内容については、日本語版のレビューを見て頂ければわかると思います。本の内容も素晴らしいですが、この本は原著で読むとより理解が深まります。英語の文章自体がとても平易かつ内容が深い（濃い）ので、英語を勉強しつつ、ビジネスも学べます。TOEICが600点前後の方なら、苦もなく読めるレベルです。日本語版も訳が非常にうまくできているので、不安な方は同時購入して、日本語版と併用しつつ、読み進めると良いと思います" "Easy to read and gives you a lot to think about. Would recommend to anyone looking to change the way they think about business"

"I have never read a book like this in my life. I loved it. But it was not what I expected. This is a book of off-grid business principles and strategy -- not actionable step-by-step instructions. The tone, voice, and style are atypical for a professional business book, which makes it unique. I believe this is the author's point well-made. It's easy reading, personal, and very provocative"

이 책은 비지니스를 하는사람, 영어공부에 관심이 있는 사람들에게 도움이 될 수 있는 책인거 같다. 다만 이런 책들이 그렇듯 실천은 본인의 문제다. 새로운 주장도 있고 어디선가 들어 본 내용도 있다. 큰 회사보다는 작은회사를 지향하는 내용이고 그런 회사를 운영하는데 있어서 저자의 살아있는 지식을 전달하고 있다. 저자 본인이 기업을 경영하고 있기에 꿈같은 이야기는 아니지만 사람들마다 다르게 생각할 수 있는 여지가 있는 주장들도 있는거 같다. 책의 편집이나 구성이 읽기에 쉬워서 진도가 상당히 잘 나가는 책이다.

 

- Evolution doesn't linger on past failures, it's always building upon what worked....

- Unless you're a fortune-teller, long-term business planning is a fantasy.

- Workholics make the people who don't stay late feel inadequate for "merely" working reasonable hours.... people stay late out of obligation, even if they aren't really being productive.

- The easiest, most straightforward was to create product or service is to make something you want to use.

- What you do is what matters, not what you think or say or plan.

- The perfect time never arrives.

- For everyone who loves you, there will be others who hate you. If no one's upset by what you're saying, you're probably not pushing hard enough.... and you're probably boring, too.

- When you don't know what you believe, everything becomes an argument. Everything is debatable. But when you stand for something, decisions are obvious.

- Standing for something isn't just ablout writing it down. It's about believing it and living it.

- Constraints are advantages in disguise. Limited resources force you to make do with what you've got.... before you sing the "not enough" blues, see how far you can get with what you have.

- Improving the current menu doesn't come first. Trimming it down comes first.

- The core of your business should be built around things that won't change.

- There's probably something you haven't thought about you could sell too.

- Inject what's unique about the way you think into what you sell ....

- I have never let my schooling interfere with my education ; MARK TWAIN

- ... being a good writer is about more than writing. Clear writing is a sign of clear thinking. Great writers know how to communicate. They make things easy to understand. They can put themselves in someone else's shoes. Thye know what to omit ........ Writing is today's currency for good ideas.

- The number one principle to keep in mind when you apologize : How would you feel about the apology if you were on the other end ? If someone said those words to you, would you believe them ?
