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 achieve that end, 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 readers 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 is 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.
当贝佐斯思考下一步的计划时，他刚看完石黑一雄的小说《长日将尽》（Remains of the Day），讲的是一个管家满怀惆怅地回忆，在英国战争时期服役时的个人抉择和事业选择。
贝佐斯一直在回首人生的重要关头，当时他产生了一个想法，称其为“后悔最小化模型”，以此来确定在这个人生的重要关头，下一步该怎么走。
几年后贝佐斯说：“当你处于危急时刻时，小事也会成为你的绊脚石。我知道，当步入80岁高龄时，我不会考虑为何在1994年的人生低谷时放弃了华尔街的优厚待遇。因为当你80岁高龄时，你不会再担心这些事情。与此同时，我会为没有亲历互联网浪潮而感到后悔，因为那是一件具有革命性意义的事情。当我这样思考问题时……就不难做出决定了。” (查看原文)
