Story
Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows.

Meet a genuine American folk hero cut from the homespun cloth of America's heartland: Sam Walton, who parlayed a single dime store in a hardscrabble cotton town into Wal-Mart, the largest retailer in the world. The undisputed merchant king of the late 20th century, Sam never lost the common touch. Here, finally, inimitable words. Genuinely modest, but always sure of his ambitions and achievements.

Amazon.com started off delivering books through the mail. But its visionary founder, Jeff Bezos, wasn't content with being a bookseller. He wanted Amazon to become the everything store, offering limitless selection and seductive convenience at disruptively low prices. To do so, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now.

Publisher's Summary
In this, his first audiobook, Tony Hsieh - the widely admired CEO of Zappos, the online shoe retailer - explains how he created a unique culture and commitment to service that aims to improve the lives of employees, customers, vendors, and backers. Using anecdotes and stories from his own life experiences, and from other companies, Hsieh provides concrete ways that companies can achieve unprecedented success. Even better, he shows how creating happiness and record results go hand-in-hand.
He starts with the "Why" in a section where he narrates his quest to understand the science of happiness. Then he runs through the ten Zappos "Core Values" - such as "Deliver WOW through Service", "Create Fun and A Little Weirdness", and "Build a Positive Team and Family Spirit" - and explains how you and your colleagues should come up with your own.
Hsieh then details many of the unique practices at Zappos that have made it the success it is today, such as their philosphy of allocating marketing money into the customer experience, thereby allowing repeat customers and word-of-mouth be their true form of marketing. He also explains why Zappos's number-one priority is company culture and his belief that once you get the culture right, everything else - great customer service, long-term branding - will happen on its own.
Finally, Delivering Happiness explains how Zappos employees actually apply the Core Values to improving their lives outside of work - and to making a difference in their communities and the world.

Made a difference!
Wow this is the best business book so far! Very personable approach. Tony takes you on this business treks from since his childhood. As an entrepreneur, it's very easy to relate and ask myself how would I react in face of similar problems or what was I doing at that time, how to do things differently or see things differently and what impact would that make. It's like absorbing Tony's experiences into our own. Enjoyed the "delivering happiness" part. It's a different yet effective way to motivate and retain employees, and have a lot of fun in your business while earning tons of money. :)

Wowed and inspired
I finally know where Zappos is referenced n every business book I've ever read. Tony Hseih is a genius pure and simple. Reading his book I felt a range of emotions. From feeling totally inspired to do more to giving up completely. Because why even bother getting up when geniuses like TH is out there killing it. Excellent book. A great deal of useful info to unpack.

Excellent combo of business & story
I really enjoyed this book. The story of Zappos is fascinating especially how hard it was for them to survive in early days. A lot of great business lessons along the way and it’s told in an interesting manner with plenty of fun memorable mini stories. Highly recommend for anyone in business or anyone interested in company culture.
