  3. It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work

    ↗

    Jason Fried & David Heinemeier Hansson · book

    a case for calm, sustainable operations over hustle and heroics; permission to build an org that isn't quietly on fire.

  4. The E-Myth Revisited

    ↗

    why working on your systems beats working in the weeds; how small organizations stop depending on one exhausted person.

  5. Notion
