Delivering Happiness book giveaway

A while back I entered to be chosen to receive an advanced copy of Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh, owner of Zappos. If chosen I would read the book and write a review. Well, I was chosen, and here’s my review.

I’ve read a few business books, and I have people recommend new ones all the time. The thing that caught my attention about Delivering Happiness was that this book was less concerned on giving you tips on how to make your business a million dollar business, and more concerned on how to deliver, well, happiness. It’s a different approach to typical business models, as Tony shares his passion in making sure that the customer experience was always the primary focus of Zappos, aswell as focusing on how to help his employees grow, both personally and professionally. That mentality, combined with hard work, led Zappos to become one of the highest ranking newcomers on Fortune magazines annual list of “Best Companies to Work For,” and an online retailer that’s making over $1 billion in gross merchandise sales annually.

This book was so refreshing, mainly because it proves that you don’t have to follow what everyone else is doing, and if you follow who you are, and what you feel in your heart to do, not only for your company, but also your employees, success will eventually come. It taught me to set my priorities, and stick to them, no matter what comes my way.  And it was a great reminder that hard work and perseverance will eventually pay off. 

When you read this book you will be challenged to ask yourself why you are doing what you are doing. Are you in it simply for money, or because you want to make a change in people’s lives. It will also challenge you to think outside of the box. What will you do in order to keep your business alive? I loved this book so much that I’m wanting to give away a copy to a lucky winner. With that being said, this is how we are going to do the giveaway.
