I recently finished reading Delivering Happiness: A path to profits, passion, and purpose by Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos.com. The book was an easy read and offered a very transparent look into how Zappos got its start, and what has made it one of the best places to work, revered for its culture and customer service.  Hsieh shares candid employee annecdotes and staff e-mails while offering insightful takeaways about business ethics and standards. One of my favorite excerpts were his "Tweets to Live By" at the end of several chapters:

"To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself" - Soren Kierkegaard

"If you have more than 3 priorities then you don't have any" - Jim Collins

"It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit" - H.S. Truman

"We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of the work is the same" - Carlos Castaneda

I would highly recommend the book to anyone whether they are an entrepreneur, small business owner, CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or even your average employee (cheers!).  The insight offers great tips and a reminder to keep yourself, and your business in check.
