Continuing my obsession with biographies to be heard during my commute, I randomly picked this book. Definitely a great and insightful look into the life of Bezos and Amazon. I may not personally like him or like to work at Amazon, but I really admire his audacity and grit. This book is a very honest account on Bezos and his quirkiness.

A very good intro on the rise of Uber, Airbnb and similar such startups. What fascinated me was the personality of Brian Chesky rather than the rabble rouser Travis. Need to read more about Chesky and his book reccos.

I read a couple of reviews about this book on the internet, wherein the reviewers opined that the author was critical of Amazon. That's not the case. The author has taken a very balanced approach. It is on my all-time business reads category. Fascinating.

A good survey of Jeff Bezos over the 2010-2021 and his various companies. I was surprised how many missteps he's made -- Blue Origin, the many grocery attempts, debatable Hollywood productions, his affair, India, China. There were also trends that don't bode well for Amazon -- 3rd party sellers are unhappy, poor product quality from Chinese fraudsters.
