About this ebook
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.

Starts off great, a fantastically told and gripping real life story about entrepreneurship and lessons learnt. It then descends into a monotonus and repetitive explanation of Zappos' core values. It also glosses over work life balance a bit, expecting peoples work to become their life.
