The Everything Store

Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon

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.

Why Amazon is so aggressive

What made the experience of listening to The Everything Store the most enjoyable?

My thoughts on why I liked this book:

1. How Jeff Bezos thinks and how he likes to get things done.
2. What makes Amazon so successful in what they do, despite of having very little profit.
3. Very nice read.

Good summary of Amazon's history

Any additional comments?

Would have been nice if more coverage provided on the devices and digital services aspect of Amazon. Most of the coverage is focused only on Kindel and little on AWS.

The Missionary & Mercenary

The value of listening to the The Everything Store: Jeff Bezos and the Age of Amazon is equivalent to an MBA degree only cheaper. Highly recommended!

great read!!

Very interesting take on Jeff Bezo and how he created one of the biggest companies in the world!

The moral quandary of Jeff

Stone captures the essence of Amazon, and its unique culture. This book will give you respect for Jeff and make you feel like you know the man. After listening to this, I found myself quoting Jeff all the time. There are parts of this book that make you hate Amazon and other parts that make you love it, and I think that is the brilliance of Stone's writing.

a compelling story about one of the powerhouses

very interesting to hear about the history and ideology of bezos and Amazon. would recommend.

timeline was a little hard to follow but great!

The book timeline felt a little all over the place. However, the content was great. I did wish the author would almost keep this book update so how...Amazon is still gtowing at any amazing rate!

Very Interesting Story

I am currently an Amazon Associate and this audiobook has been very interesting and excited to listen to on my way to Amazon every day. I will be reading it again as it was that well done and I now have an incredible appreciation for Amazon and my boss, Jeff Bezos.
