Tony Hsieh wrote business memoir and management nonfiction based on his experience building Zappos. Delivering Happiness recounts his early ventures, the growth of Zappos and the company's attempt to treat customer service and workplace culture as strategic priorities rather than support functions. Hsieh discusses hiring, call-centre practices, company values and the decision to sell Zappos to Amazon while maintaining a distinct organisational identity.
