他是謝家華，台灣移民第二代，全球最大網路鞋店Zappos的執行長，軟體工程師出身、從來沒有銷售經驗。別人覺得他是瘋子，他卻靠著這種「想好了就豁出去」的傻勁和拼勁，年紀輕輕就兩次從零開始，打造年營業額12億美元（將近台幣400億）的事業；更吸引了數百名年輕人追隨他，讓公司成為《財富》雜誌「全美百大最適合工作企業」第15名的事業。
在本書，謝家華要分享他從9歲開始磨練商業頭腦、邊做邊學所吸收的教訓跟經驗，教你如何嗅出成功機會，然後豁出去。
謝家華說，「不管你的過去如何，你都有一個無可挑剔的未來」；他不想按照爸媽的期待，念博士、當律師醫師、找待遇優渥的大公司安家落戶，他認為「冒險最高的代價是死亡，而創業失敗最多只不過落到借住朋友的客廳沙發，要餓死是不可能的」。你未必要創業，但一輩子不能不試試幾次「自己沒把握的事情」。
人生如果這樣想，你還有什麼好怕的？想好了就豁出去吧。

In his first book, Tony Hsieh - the widely-admired CEO of on-line shoe retailer, Zappos, explains how he created a unique culture and commitment to service that aims to improve the lives of its employees, customers, vendors and backers. Using anecdotes and stories from his own experiences and from other companies, Hsieh provides concrete ways that companies can achieve unprecedented success. Even better, he shows how creating happiness and record results go hand-in-hand. He starts with the ’Why’ in a section where he narrates his quest to understand the science of happiness. Then he runs through the ten Zappos ’Core Values’ such as ’Deliver WOW through Service,’ ’Create Fun and A Little Weirdness’ and ’Build a Positive Team and Family Spirit’ and explains how you and your colleagues should come up with your own. Hsieh then details many of the unique practices at Zappos that have made it the success it is today, such as the philosophy of allocating marketing money into the customer experience, thereby allowing repeat customers and word-of-mouth be their true form of marketing. He also explains why Zappos’s main priority is company culture and his belief that once you get the culture right, everything else - great customer service, long-term branding - will happen on its own. Finally, Hsieh explains how Zappos employees actually apply the Core Values to improving their lives outside of work - and to making a difference in their communities and the world
