I had this book lying on the bookshelf for quite some time and for some reason had not picked it up to get started. This is the story of Zappos but it goes further back than Zappos. The author and CEO of Zappos wrote this as a business biography of Zappos but starts off much sooner speaking about his roots and his previous endeavors.
The whole book is written in first person and is written by the author himself, without the use of a Ghostwriter. Its almost like reading a really long email from a tech CEO and the trials of being an entrepreneur in silicon valley starting in the late nineties. Its probably his own personality coming out but he takes a hilarious approach to telling the story but also offers some very valuable guidance in how to develop a company and root the core values in something that he is passionate about.
This is a very quick read, once I picked it up I was able to finish this off in a day and walked away very satisfied. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to get a view into the mind of a tech mogul while learning some valuable lessons about finding happiness.
