Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose by Tony Hsieh
Profits, Passion, and Purpose. A perfect formula for success. And Tony has discovered how to create this winning combination.
As the CEO of the billion dollar on-line retailer, Zappos.com, Tony Hsieh leads a group of people who are committed to delivering exceptional service and happiness. The result? Extremely engaged employees who love showing up at work, and extremely pleased customers with great shoes.
Tony writes about his passion for doing something bigger than his job, his love affair with Red Bull, and the extraordinary lesson he learned from attending Rave parties. Did I mention he’s only 26 years old? His business mind is brilliant and his drive is…well, take a look at his success AND the way his employees talk about their work experience. It’s WOWsome.
Here’s one of the things I enjoyed most about this book…
Tony doesn’t write to “teach” us how to do something to be successful. Instead, he walks us through his journey—the good, the bad, and the ugly—and engages us with his lessons learned. I read the book in one sitting, and can’t wait to re-read it. It’s really good.
I was fortunate to receive two advanced copies of this book. I’d love to give my second copy away – it’s available to the first person who asks for it! (I’ll mail it to you – my expense!)
Here are some links to learn more about the book:

I could write a lot more about this book, and probably will in the next few months. But right now, I’d encourage you to get to your bookstore or Amazon.com and get yourself a copy. (It just launched yesterday.) You won’t be disappointed.
Congratulations, Tony. Count me in as part of this movement—changing the way we work, one business at a time.
