In this episode of the podcast, Sam Harris speaks with Jason Fried about the recent controversy over the ’no politics‘ policy at his company Basecamp.

He’s also the co-author of a number of unusual business books, including New York Times Bestseller REWORK, REMOTE, Getting Real, and his latest It Doesn’t Have to be Crazy at Work which The Economist called ‚funny, well-written and iconoclastic and by far the best thing on management published this year.’Join neuroscientist, philosopher, and best-selling author Sam Harris as he explores important and controversial questions about the human mind, society, and current events.
