Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion and Purpose
Author: Tony Hsieh
Publisher: Business Plus
Summary: #1 New York Times Best Sellers List! In his first book, Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh shares the different lessons he has learned in business and life, from starting a worm farm to running a pizza business; through LinkExchange (acquired by Microsoft for $265 million), Zappos, and more.
Tony shows how a very different kind of corporate culture is a powerful model for achieving success — and how by concentrating on the happiness of those around you, you can dramatically increase your own.
It was a great book with amazing insight into starting up business. The development of the Zappos culture and personal stories were nicely mixed with practical suggestions to transform business philosophy and company culture.
Not only is it a good book but a movement as well. The team at Zappos now hosts events on how companies and their employees can deliver a little more happiness. Through their Facebook Group several groups have formed in communities to come together to discuss the ideas in the book. Check them out on their website Delivering Happiness.
Sounds like a great book. I think most of us are looking for more happiness right?
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of concentrating on increasing the happiness of others. It is almost a serenely spiritual idea, and should generate more happiness for the generator of said happiness. Sounds like an important book and FB group.
