Why People Can't Get Work Done At Work : Planet Money Today's summer book recommendation offers a different approach to the modern workplace.

Why People Can't Get Work Done At Work

Today's beach read recommendation is "It Doesn't Have to Be Crazy at Work," by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson, the co-founders of Basecamp.

The book reflects the authors' approach for how to create a calm company. Its underlying theme is the tension between the environment that people need to do good work, and the environment that actually exists in most workplaces.

On today's episode, Jason talks to Cardiff.
