We interrupt this food blog to bring you a book review of Delivering Happiness A Path to Profits Passion, and Purpose by Tony Hsieh CEO, Zappos

The community at Zappos is just that a community. A bottom up top down community who have all dedicated themselves to the well being of the company and most importantly it's customers.

How, ironic, I too am giving a book away this week. I am a Zappos customer for life. Although they don't sell cycling shoes, I always find something I like.
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog, but don't facebook(is that a verb) or tweet anymore!
The book sounds awesome, just like the service they provide.
