My comment is to NOT read this book in the Kindle version!! It is written in a cartoon format and you CANNOT adjust the font size. I literally read the entire book using a magnifying glass. Even with that, the particular font style used was not always easy to decipher. Needless to say, this overshadowed my enjoyment of the book. It is an uplifting story though and lets you realize anyone can create their own happiness.

This is an entertaining "fly on the wall" account of the authors journey from his first failed and successful businesses up to the sale of Zappos to Amazon.com for ~us$1bn. As an entreprenuer I had previously been inspired by many aspects of Zappos' culture and this book gives more of the background to that. I think the biggest takeaway is to learn just how close (and how often) Zappos' was to failure as it grew to finally turn a profit, around five years after it was started.Based on the headlines, it had seemed to me that the author had led a charmed life, turning his midas touch from one business to another. Turns out the truth is very different and author is just as human as the rest of us with the main difference that he has made some very big bets in his life, bets which very nearly went bad. Personally I found this very inspiring.

Amazon description did not specify this is a comic book. It is not in traditional Kindle page format, more like screenshots of each page of an actual comic book. It is very difficult to read, it cannot be zoomed in, can only be hyper zoomed with the magnifying bubble. I would have bought the real kindle formatOf the original book, had I known. Very frustrated.

Not the real book.

I thought the chance to purchase on of the business world's must read books in graphic novel form would be a novel idea. Turns out I read the whole thing in one setting. I don't know if the book itself have more detail, but I loved how engaged I was. I realized it was because I really wanted to know how people succeed. And then at un-forewarned moments the book would throw an insightful nugget in the mix and inspire you to change your whole method to becoming happy and successful. I'm willing to bet you'd find helpful moments the author just threw in to move the story forward, but becomes a Swarmi moment to you. Loved that it was a quick read and had great info!

This book made me happier, just by reading it.When a book does that for a person, has met the ultimate goal of transforming that person.Incredible way of inspiring, putting knowledge, and further more, teach you on such credible set of frameworks.Hopefully, more writers use this tool to better teach others their innovative proposals.Thanks Tony and their team for putting a piece of your life into the greatest investment of all: Delivering Happiness.P.d.I will need to arrange a tour and get some book copies for my staff.

Mensagem muito leve e rápida de digerir. Uma leitura que vale a pena. . . . . . . .

Libro muy interenasante de un negocio productivo y sobre todo de seguir más laPasión que el dinero

Its a book that narrates some great experience in a very simple way. Company Culture and Customer focus made them unicorn indeed.

I guess I ordered this "book" a little too hastily...I had meant to order the original softcover book, not the cartoon picture magazine-type book. While it was interesting, it was not what I was looking for and not, in my opinion, worth the ^^price.

I first heard about Zappos in Oxford last August on a week long course, where one of the presenters talked to us about how everyone sits in the same open plan office there, including the CEO where everyone can speak to any level of management and where new ideas are welcome. All companies can learn from how this group of friends came up with their core values, which by the way are basic common sense, that company values, goals don't have to be big words or business jargon, but something that everyone can relate to, embrace and be inspired by. This comic book version is a quick and easy read, I'll be reading it again and again when I get stuck in negativity or will be in need of some inspiration or just to remind myself, that I am in charge of my own happiness, even at work:). Thoroughly recommended read.
