Giveaway: “Delivering Happiness” by Tony Hsieh

[ 94 ] July 27, 2010 |

Win 1 of 3 copies of Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh!

About Delivering Happiness

Pay brand-new employees $2,000 to quit

Make customer service the responsibility of the entire company-not just a department

Focus on company culture as the #1 priority

Apply research from the science of happiness to running a business

Help employees grow-both personally and professionally

Seek to change the world

Oh, and make money too . . .

Sound crazy? It’s all standard operating procedure at Zappos, the online retailer that’s doing over $1 billion in gross merchandise sales annually. After debuting as the highest-ranking newcomer in Fortune magazine’s annual “Best Companies to Work For” list in 2009, Zappos was acquired by Amazon in a deal valued at over $1.2 billion on the day of closing.

In Delivering Happiness, 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, Zappos, and more. Fast-paced and down-to-earth, Delivering Happiness 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.

To learn more about the book, go to www.deliveringhappinessbook.com.

    I haven’t seen this book before. I would have loved it if there was some book’s ideas followed in the agency that I worked. I especially like that pleasing the customer is supposed to be for the whole company instead of just the customer service department. That sure would have made things smoother and working more harmonious.
