內容簡介
在《工作大解放》中，福萊德和漢森提出「要比對手做的工作還要少才能成功」，開始了一場新革命，而在這本新書中，兩位再次提出了一個新概念，也就是應該停止讚揚瘋狂的工作模式。
現在的職場，職員是否加班、身兼數職已經成為專業度的評判標準，但這樣讚揚混亂、高壓、焦慮的方式並不是正確有效率的方式，福萊德和漢森提倡Calm Company文化，做得多並不比做真正有效的事來得好，持續高壓、失眠並不比有精神，專心做一件事來得好。
兩位作者的理念來自於自家公司的實踐，20年前他們就開始這樣的Calm Company文化，也證實確實幫助了公司的發展。在這本書中，福萊德和漢森並不是要告訴你怎麼做，而是要讓你知道他們透過這些方法達到的效果。Calm Company是注定要成為未來趨勢的職場文化。

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. "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.
