Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com, Inc. has written a great book – Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, & Purpose. It’s filled with lovely stories of learning and entrepreneurship and nuggets of leadership wisdom gleaned while growing Zappos.com, Inc. to over $1B in sales (and it wasn’t an easy road). If you’re unfamiliar with Zappos.com, Inc., it is an online shoe/clothing store with an outstanding reputation of great culture resulting in WOW! customer service. (Who doesn’t want that!?)

 

Delivering Happiness

You should read this book if you are an entrepreneur or are in leadership or management or want to be any of the aforementioned. You should also read Tony’s book if you’re searching for true happiness in work. He provides some great insight into the actual science of happiness.

 

There’s just something about a multi-millionaire discussing failure and mistakes to make you feel more confident in your dreams, as well. I know Tony’s words made me reframe certain situations and outlooks. The book just might do the same for you (and help you sidestep some mistakes in the process), so add it to your library.
