I'm a fan of 37 Signals and the way they communicate. I started the paper version of Reworked and finished with the Audible one. It's a brilliant book to listen to.
The rythm is fast, and they are dead on the point. Each chapter nails a solution to a problem. Some of which you might be familiar with, other less, or not at all.
What I love is the tone. They are talking to you. Through well chosen examples, they illustrate they point in such a way that it applies to many different kinds of industries, not only web design or tech oriented jobs.
Freelancers will recognise issues and situations as well as employees of large corporations.
The tips and tricks are precious. Pick those that ring a bell and give them a through, or better, a try. You won't be disappointed.

«We all have ideas. Ideas are immortal. They last forever.
What doesn't last forever is inspiration. Inspiration is like fresh fruit or milk: It has an expiration date.

Possiamo anche dire che chiunque legga questo libro può farsi un'opinione propria. Ma un fatto è indiscutibile: i ragazzi di 37signals raccontano le cose come stanno e, dette così, sembrano dannatamente semplici!
Per tutto il resto, c'è Mastercard...

Everything in this book sounds fresh and sensible, boldly said and inspiring. But sometimes it sounds too guru-esque and oversimplified. Nice illustrations, though.
