Book Giveaway: Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh

I have three copies of this book to giveway. Please leave a comment below with your email address. This contest is open to US and Canada but no PO Box addresses. The winner will be chosen on July 2.

Synopsis:
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.

  4. I love to read business books because I have retired from corporate America and I find that those companies that really succeed are customer driven and Tony Hsieh seems to understand that concept as well. I found your review to be intriguing and one that I would take pleasure in reading.

    Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway.
