About this listen

In Jeff Bezos' own words, the core principles and philosophy that have guided him in creating, building, and leading Amazon and Blue Origin.

In this collection of Jeff Bezos' writings - his unique and strikingly original annual shareholder letters, plus numerous speeches and interviews that provide insight into his background, his work, and the evolution of his ideas - you'll gain an insider's view of the why and how of his success. Spanning a range of topics across business and public policy, from innovation and customer obsession to climate change and outer space, this book provides a rare glimpse into how Bezos thinks about the world and where the future might take us.

Written in a direct, down-to-earth style, Invent and Wander offers listeners a master class in business values, strategy, and execution.

Each insight offers new ways of thinking through today's challenges - and more importantly, tomorrow's - and the never-ending urgency of striving ahead, never resting on one's laurels. Everyone from CEOs of the Fortune 100 to entrepreneurs just setting up shop to the millions who use Amazon's products and services in their homes or businesses will come to understand the principles that have driven the success of one of the most important innovators of our time.

It was a good story with some good analogies and example that can be applied in real life, but I felt that a lot of the topic was often repeated throughout

Jeff Bezos is a visionary leader and what has been achieved with Amazon is amazingly impressive.

This is his writings from shareholder letters and other speeches. They are all uniquely interesting, but when listened too in this format there is a lot of repetition in what is said, the stories told and the information presented.

Interesting but a lot of repeatition

Love that Jeff bezos emphasises being customer focused and not competitor focused. Goes to show how effective that has been for Amazon
