Reviews
"Drawing on first-hand accounts, Aimee Groth's fascinating and occasionally disturbing investigation of Tony Hsieh's business practices and ideology offers a crucial warning against being seduced by the warm rhetoric and positivity of gurus." -William Davies, author of The Happiness Industry , "Aimee Groth's reporting on Tony Hsieh's Downtown Project--the conquest and revitalization of downtown Las Vegas into a mecca for entrepreneurship intended as a counterpoint to the casino culture of Vegas' glitzy gambling Strip--has a cast of characters reminiscent of a Russian novel set in the over-stimulating atmosphere of Rio's Carnival, punctuated with all the hubris of a Greek tragedy." -Whitney Johnson, author of Disrupt Yourself , "Remember that movie Almost Famous , about a journalist who cozies up to a rock band and its groupies, exposing them all for what they really are? That's what Groth does here, revealing a dystopia/utopia straight out of Brave New World ."-Nicholas Carlson, author of Marissa Mayer and Fight to Save Yahoo! , " The Kingdom of Happiness boldly questions our society's attachment to the heroic entrepreneur narrative and reveals a refreshing alternative: embracing vulnerability as strength." -- John Gerzema, co-author of The Athena Doctrine, " The Kingdom of Happiness offers a compelling look at the archetypal journey of an iconic American entrepreneur: the big ideas, the hair-raising crises, the euphoric triumphs, and the catastrophic wipeouts. Groth shines a light on the challenges of being an entrepreneur and the risks they take in the name of innovation."-Dr. Michael Freeman, Silicon Valley psychiatrist, "Aimee Groth's reporting on Tony Hsieh's Downtown Project--the conquest and revitalization of downtown Las Vegas into a mecca for entrepreneurship intended as a counterpoint to the casino culture of Vegas' glitzy gambling Strip--has a cast of characters reminiscent of a Russian novel set in the over-stimulating atmosphere of Rio's Carnival, punctuated with all the hubris of a Greek tragedy." -Whitney Johnson, author of Disrupt Yourself, " The Kingdom of Happiness offers a compelling look at the archetypal journey of an iconic American entrepreneur: the big ideas, the hair-raising crises, the euphoric triumphs, and the catastrophic wipeouts.

Groth shines a light on the challenges of being an entrepreneur and the risks they take in the name of innovation."-Dr. Michael Freeman, Silicon Valley psychiatrist, "Aimee Groth smartly pierces the self-delusions of Silicon Valley by immersing herself in its strangest outpost -- a kingdom ruled by a hard-partying CEO who rates his own happiness on a scale of one-to-ten. (He's a seven.) A must-read for anyone doubting the wisdom of letting startups (and shoe e-tailers) play social engineers." - Greg Lindsay, author of Aerotropolis, "Boldly questions our society's attachment to the heroic entrepreneur narrative and reveals a refreshing alternative: embracing vulnerability as strength." - John Gerzema, co-author of The Athena Doctrine, " The Kingdom of Happiness offers a compelling look at the archetypal journey of an iconic American entrepreneur: the big ideas, the hair-raising crises, the euphoric triumphs, and the catastrophic wipeouts.

Synopsis
Fearless gonzo journalism--an insider's look at the enigmatic and successful CEO of Zappos, Tony Hsieh, and his quest to create his own version of utopia in the center of Las Vegas. In 2010 Tony Hsieh was introduced to many as a visionary modern business leader. Under Hsieh's leadership, Zappos became the world's largest online shoe company by championing satisfied customers and a valued workforce. After his company was purchased by Amazon, even as he continued as its CEO, Hsieh engaged his energies and considerable fortune toward a much larger goal: building a new and more socially conscious Silicon Valley in the heart of downtown Las Vegas, all within his five-year plan. Hsieh challenged business and technology journalist Aimee Groth to uproot her life and participate in his social engineering experiment. Beginning with couch surfing, moving to a Downtown Project crash pad, and then living in Zappos corporate housing above the Gold Spike bar, Groth had a front-row view of Hsieh's efforts to build his ideal society. With interviews from insiders on all ends of the Zappos spectrum--like the "broken dolls" who gravitate toward Hsieh's almost cultlike personality and make up some of his inner circle, to the Zapponians who live and work on campus, to players in the top echelon of Silicon Valley--Groth offers a unique view of a world few people know much about, and sheds a new light on this complex, eccentric man. The Kingdom of Happiness is the story of one man's quest to create his own nirvana in the desert based on his exacting design and experimentation with lessons he's gleaned not only from the incredible success of Zappos, but also from rave culture and Burning Man. Is it the business model of the future or a cautionary tale of hubris?

- r***1 (177)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
- 4***1 (1637)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufBook arrived quickly and is pretty close to "Very Good" description. Value priced and I'm glad I made the purchase as this is an excellent read. However, the book was mailed loose inside an over-sized plastic bag without any protection. Wrapped in a bubble wrap jacket would be a big help. A book can take a beating in USPS transit without some buffer. I can't tell if the bumps and dings were original or occurred in transit. I'd prefer to pay for shipping than have it sent with no protection.
