#2It's important to realize that this "Rework" book is about the stuff that worked for 37signals and might work for you if you have a similar business. The review points out that this is not always the case from a management perspective and it's not always applicable to other business'.

#3I have a feeling this writer has no idea who 37signals is. He's probably realizing right about now that he's stepped on a land mine with exploding 37signals fanboys.
Edit: No offense to fans of 37signals (I read svn). This guy is about to get a lesson in how many fans of 37signals there are.

#4from article "I have the pleasure of working with real businesspeople who care about doing a good job, not talking about doing a good job."
Well, I don't know if he did research about the software that 37Signals has made, but I consider Ruby on Rails a "good job". I haven't used any of their other products (Basecamp, Highrise, Backpack, Campfire), but I would bet that the 3 million people using them would consider those products to be a "good job" too.

I'm guessing he probably knows, and hes trying to be a troll to get hits.

#6"I am not sure these guys are real businesspeople."
What exactly are "real businesspeople"?

Sort of playing them at their own game?

I have a feeling that author did not even read the book properly: maybe a couple of opening pages and chapter titles.

I read the back cover. That was enough to know it's more of the same. Not for me.
"Fire workaholics", "Meetings are toxic", etc etc it's just linkbait hyperbole.
I think this review managed to accurately sum up what 37signals puts out.

From the inside flap - "REWORK shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in business. Read it and you’ll know why plans are actually harmful, why you don’t need outside investors, and why you’re better off ignoring the competition."
Note that the claim is not 'Rework shows you a better, faster, easier way to succeed in a business that is similar to 37 signals. Maybe'.
