I remember when the book ‘Twilight� was out.
You know � Twilight, that werewolf, vampire and girly romantic book?

Now please, before you insult my pea-sized intelligence by assuming that I purchased this book to read it � Let me remind you, I am NOT a lover of fictional material.
In fact � I HATE fiction!
That too, nonsensical, childish, immature love stories.

So, as I was saying,
When the book ‘Twilight� was out, my ex-girl friend - who in fact never the slightest inclination to read even a 1 paged book, kept postponing our so called pre-planned romantic dates.
The reason?
She had to complete reading another precious page of this foolish novel.
I for the life of me couldn’t believe that she preferred the book over me.
I mean, wasn’t ‘I� the irresistible ball of joy? (or whatever that means)
It came as a shock and a surprise to my even-more surprised ego.
So after nearly a week of reading page after page, she finally completed this book and then honored me with her presence.

Now what is the reason I bring up this stupid story?
1) I never had good taste in women.
2) A compelling & interesting book can be as addictive as any drug in the world.

Though I can never for the sake of human dignity, classify ‘Twilight� as a worthwhile book, Tony Hsieh’s ‘Delivering Happiness� is a book I would consider, at the top of the intellectual chain.

Simply addictive.
Superbly honest.
Sincerely beautiful.

What a book!
WOW!!!

A book that takes you into the world of a 36 year old founder & chief executive of Zappos, from the challenges he faced as a child, to the mastery of musical instruments, to his naughty escapes from dedicated practice, to his first business venture � a worm farm and subsequent adventures; then from Harvard to Oracle to LinkExchange, to his early lucky break and finally into the world of Zappos � Man! I was totally glued to his book.

In fact, even if you ignore everything that I just stated and then read on to the journey that took him towards his purpose � a man who kept saving himself, his company and his vision from bankruptcy and then to shoot it off to a staggering $1 Billion in sales � is a journey worth reading, studying and understanding.

The beauty of this book is that is not only the true story of this man and his philosophy, it is also a Bible filled with the code of ethics, morals, principles and character that every human being, every corporation and every country should strive to follow. I was simply blown away with how he ran his company and how he incorporated acceptable rules � which, in the so called real world would be considered either impossible or close to lunacy.

The book though simple and humble in its tone with its 3 main chapters - Profits, Profits & Passion, and finally Profits, Passion and Purpose; goes far beyond itself. I personally found it to be like a life saving breath of fresh air � totally honest, humorous and humane.

Tell you what.

If you want any more proof to how much you can fall in love with this book, all you do is turn to page 1. Just read page 1 and I can assure you this much � you will know that this is indeed a book you must read.

Overall, A fantastic book, A worthwhile book and A truly addictive read.

If you are desperately seeking one business book that you must read or a book that would have the maximum impact on the way you do business or run your life � this is the book I highly recommend.

I loved this book to its very core.

Overall Rating � 10 out of 10.
