Summary
Winner of the 2013 Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.
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 achieve that end, he developed a corporate culture of relentless ambition and secrecy that's never been cracked. Until now...
Brad Stone enjoyed unprecedented access to current and former Amazon employees and Bezos family members, giving readers the first in-depth, fly-on-the-wall account of life at Amazon.
Compared to tech's other elite innovators - Jobs, Gates, Zuckerberg - Bezos is a private man. But he stands out for his restless pursuit of new markets, leading Amazon into risky new ventures like the Kindle and cloud computing, and transforming retail in the same way Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing.
The Everything Store is the revealing, definitive biography of the company that placed one of the first and largest bets on the Internet and forever changed the way we shop and read.

Engaging in parts.
Got lost (interest) somewhere about 70% to 90% probably because I was more aware of Bezos through news during these years.
Mercenary and missionary. Simple rule of success in business.

A great biography.
A great insight into the life of one of the most successful and inspirational people around. Also an interesting read if you are in the ecommerce business.

A great book about a great business
It was one of the best non-fiction books I have read or in this case listened it. Fascinating story about a man who made one of the best and super stable business

Brilliantly Insightful
It's powerful how dreams/goals written down and held onto will manifest ... no matter how big. Jeff Bezos's focus and drive to win is inspiring.
Two key takeaways for success are 1) Codify the values/principles that define your organisation AND live by them. 2) ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS measure everything and figure out what the numbers are telling you - they don't lie.
Well worth the investment in so many ways!

Great read so informative
Very interesting to hear what drives such a focussed mind and that not all the projects worked out a true entrepreneur at work

Fascinating insight into an enigmatic company
Meticulously-researched, even-handed and in-depth account of the inseperable relationship between Amazon as one of the world's largest retailers and the personal philosophy of Jeff Bezos. I learnt a lot from this book about the highs and lows of Amazon's rise to business leadership

worth reading but not inspiring
I always wanted to read this and see how the titan Amazon came to be. it was worth reading and I recommend it. though seeing how they bully for lower prices it's not very inspiring. I was hoping for a more romantic rise to power but lifes not all fairy tails I guess.
