This time, the subject is a new book, “Delivering Happiness, a Path to Passion, Profits, and Purpose,” by Tony Hsieh (rhymes with Psieh), founder of LinkExchange. The book is part autobiography, part business tutorial. Tony's treatise is inspirational, while at the same time no matter how much success in life you've had, you will wind up feeling like a world-class loser -- unless you happen to have also sold a company for $265 million when you were 24 years old. In that case, contact the Gutsy Geeks immediately, and please bring your checkbook. Mr. Modem returns to the scene of the crime with another crowd-disbursing book review.
