About this audiobook
Successfully grow your business and improve customer and employee happiness with this New York Times bestseller book written by the CEO of Zappos.
As the CEO of one of Fortune Magazine's "Best Companies to Work For," Tony Hsieh knows that keeping people happy is the key to professional growth and harmony. It might sound crazy, but Hsieh believes that we can prioritize company culture, make money, and change the world. In Delivering Happiness, he shares the tools of the trade he's learned in business and life, from starting a worm farm to running a pizza business, to working at Zappos–a company so impressive that Amazon acquired it for over $1.2 billion.
Fast-paced and down-to-earth, Delivering Happiness shows how a different kind of corporate culture is a powerful model for achieving success, and concentrating on the happiness of those around you can dramatically increase your own.

This book is a trash Silicon Valley circle jerk that must have been the inspiration for all the show itself. It beautifully outlines all the problems with the industry and the cult like following these CEO's want to create. There's nothing cute or inspiring about that this dude did, he overworked his people and created a cult. Worst of all he tries to wrap it in a thin veil of feel good lessons that are clearly painted with rose colored glasses. What a joke.
