Rosey of Robbinsdale reviewed Rework by Jason Fried
Review of 'Rework' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
This book was a quick easy read. It did cover a lot of material, or concerns, about many of the issues owners and/or managers may have to consider when running a business.
I liked the short quick explanations covering the main idea of each bullet point. Chapters are not numbered in the traditional sense and sections feel unique. This is not a book that needs to be read from front to back. Each bullet point, as I call them, has a short explanation that gets the idea across without an excess of jargon. Perfect for short attention spans. Present an idea, briefly explain it and move on.
Much of what is presented may seem familiar from other books of this type. Some of the ideas may go against the grain of what higher education may teach students about business while people without the Masters degree may totally get this.
In a nut-shell, if you're reading the book then you are likely an aggressive go-getter who has a good feel for the way things should work and the way things do work. Go with your gut.
