REVIEW: Tony Hsieh "Delivering Happiness". What is happiness, and how to find it?

This post will be a strange mixture of a review of the book "Delivering Happiness" Tony Scheja, the creator of the Internet giant Zappos, and had an idea of ​​what happiness is.

Thousands of candles can light from a single candle, and her life will not be shorter. Happiness does not become smaller when they delishsya. -Buddha

The book, which was sent to us from publishing a myth (the publisher was able to seat Layfhakera editor of the book ^ _ ^) o becoming man, Tony Scheja, who earned a lot in the sale he created the corporation LinkExchange Microsoft. Then, his experience as a venture investor, the loss of almost all the money for startups. On the creation of commercial Internet site Zappos, which sells shoes today, not only as it was in the beginning, but it and other clothing and accessories. Zappos is considered to be the apex of its transition under the control of Amazon, which was worth $ 1.2 billion, the latest in her own actions.

The book will be of interest to owners of Internet shops and people seeking an investor for the project, by the investors for the understanding of the impact of the company's invested by them.

Enjoy it to those who create a corporate culture in a small or medium business - the creators believe Zappos created a unique culture in the company of its main asset. Personally, I am skeptical of this part of the book, which tells about moving the company in Vegas, about instilling love for the company, which work, but for you it can be very useful: how to motivate an employee or as owner - to save on operating costs. ;)

Most of all I liked the last part of the book - About Happiness. Tony approached this issue in a scientific way and in many ways reveals the secret of success of the company as an attempt to make happy people, customers and employees, not forgetting about yourself and your investment.

If you are not satisfied with the work, their fate, unable to find his place in life, it is only because you have chosen the long road to happiness, to which we all aspire. The reasons for this choice are many, but after reading the book, you will understand how to make it shorter by getting rid of false values ​​of the standards imposed and just coming to the finish line to true happiness previously unknown way.

Picture taken from the book

The author talks about an interesting method of marathon training - to run as slowly as possible, so that could be the longest ongoing dialogue. I did not know about it, maybe because I can not run as good as I would have liked. (I tried to learn ...) I did not know about how to be happy. Now I do not know, but I know how to figure it out.
