About this listen
Audie Award Finalist, Business/Educational, 2014
The definitive story of Amazon.com, one of the most successful companies in the world, and of its driven, brilliant founder, Jeff Bezos.
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 do so, 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 listeners 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 will be 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.

Inspiring and eye opening
Vision, drive, and an absolute passion for a solution to a problem. These are key behaviours that I will take away from this book.

Well Written, Well Spoken
Pretty much everything you would expect from a book about a remarkable company, and its remarkable founder. The narration was performed by a professional, and the book was crafted by a very strong writer. Enough said.

Fabulous story about someone I knew little about
Amazing story about 1 individual who decided to make a difference. And was able to accomplish it. Dreams do come true. in Jeff's case, it took a little more than pixie dust. But he never wavered. Customer experience number one. Of course a lot of bodies littered that road to the ultimate everything store. But as he said in one of his commencement speeches. We are our decisions.

Must read to Understand Amazon and Bezos
An important read to understand the mind of Jeff Bezos and the beginnings of Amazon. However a couple of chapters are more descriptions than they are a good story. So can get a little dry in the middle. Nevertheless a remarkable story.

Amazing book about the creation of Amazon
The book was narrated wonderfully with the narrator bringing the story to life. It really provides an inside look into the world of Amazon and CEO's jeff Bezos’s entrepreneurial mindset. The book had several wonderful tips for business to grow … however, a great tip in the book is to always be on the look out for other business new competitive innovative ideas and adapt those ideas if possible to your current business strategy. A great formula for always keeping current and consistently fresh in such a competitive market. Great listen from #Audible1 !!!

Not as detailed as you'd hope.
I thought there's be more insights into the inner functioning of the company. There's a fair amount of information but everything is mostly surface.
