1. I didn't write that and I hadn't noticed it, but I agree the tone is off on that line. I'll talk to Matt about it and get it updated.
2. I don't agree with his review, but that doesn't mean I think it should be ignored. It should be studied and considered just like any review. Please read his review, please read this review (http://bit.ly/auQL0Q), and please write your own review.
UPDATE: The entry on SvN has been updated to read "Not everyone loves REWORK though. One critic called it "not just bad but dangerous."
> a publication called Management Today
(which brags about being home to “one of the most senior
readerships of any business title”) disapproves?
That sounds about right.
For the record, I loved that point from Matt, and I like 37S' style - it suits you guys well. Most sensible people understand that "Meetings are toxic" doesn't mean "Never ever communicate" or anything silly - if anything, I'd say don't tone it down. People who like 37S like it because you turn the volume up and say it like it is and are not afraid of being casually outrageous at times. So please don't go excessively mainstream-friendly! Cheers and thanks for all the good work and free value you guys have distributed into the world, I'll be picking up a copy of Rework once I thin my reading list out a little.
