I just finished reading a book written by Tony Hsieh, the CEO of Zappos.com Inc. Zappos.com is the world’s largest online shoe retailer. He and his fellow zappos members help build the company from zero sales to $1 Billion USD gross merchandise sales annually in just incredibly within 10 years! and in July 2009, Amazon bought Zappos for staggering $1.2 Billion USD. The best thing when I’m reading this book is that, all the ideas and philosophy of creating a company and businesses shared by Tony in this book is inline with my belief on what a company should be. Tony has managed to create a company that have a great relationship with their employees, customers and also vendors. The idea of focusing on delivering happiness to the world is very sincere. That, I believe what a company should become. A company that cares for others. Not taking advantage of people. In this book Tony shares the lessons he learn in business and life. He also showed and proved to the world a company can care for the people and make money at the same time. Apart from that, this book is a  classic example to how we can gain success as long as we keep on trying and never give up. I strongly recommend people read this book. You will enjoy reading it especially with a funny style of writing by Tony and you will absolutely learn a lot from this book.

And one more thing, unlike may other authors who used ghost writer to help them write their books, this book has been written by Tony himself. That really brings the connection between the reader and Tony himself.
