A few years back I heard about a website where you could buy shoes online. I’ll admit that I thought the idea of buying shoes online was stupid – how would you know if they fit or not? After giving it much thought I decided to browse the site one day and found a pair of shoes that I liked, but couldn’t find in any of the stores in my hometown.
I decided to order them. To make a long story short, Zappos.com has the best customer service I’ve ever experienced. After this positive experience, I decided to research Zappos and who was running this company.
Tony Hsieh is the CEO of Zappos.com, which was recently acquired by Amazon.com for 1.2 billion dollars. Hearing this, I immediately wanted to know everything about this company.
The Book
To my surprise, Tony had written a book that was to be released June 7th. Being a blogger, I found out I could get an advanced copy of the book, and I’m glad I did.
If you are interested in business, Startups, Entrepreneurship, or how to run a company with an amazing company culture, then you need to read Tony Hsieh’s new book, Delivering Happiness.
I don’t what to ruin the book for you, but to give you a little taste, Tony starts the book with a detailed look at his childhood and the trials and tribulations he went through to get where he is today. The book walks you all the way through every aspect of both Link Exchange (Tony’s first company) and Zappos.
