You're on a road trip with an old man and a younger one.

Business stories are told. Wisdom is revealed. A new perspective emerges. Companies like Costco and Kodak, General Motors and Walmart provide color and texture as they appear on the horizon and in the rearview mirror. Real companies. Real decisions. Real outcomes. Jeff Bezos and Amazon give this road trip its rhythm as the four pillars of their success are made plain. It's a wonderful success, easily repeated, even by a lemonade stand. But only if you understand the importance of the marshmallow.

What did you love best about Be Like Amazon?

It's a quick listen.

But there's value in almost every minute.

What did you like best about this story?

There *was* a story. Most business books don't lay out a story for their concepts. Yes, the story was lame, and felt forced but it really helped the concepts to be sticky.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Eisenberg's best book no movie.

Any additional comments?

The Amazon framework is a great prelude to Eisenberg's Buyer Legends process. Worthwhile.

The context of the story was great. Business needs to go back to the fundamentals, it is a great business foundation reset.
I didn't like the character names of the story, but great strategy to remember the name of the book and context.

📓 Be like Amazon

This is a brief work framed around a car ride with a grandson and grandfather. The grandfather gives great examples and stories about business. It was absolutely amazing. I learned a lot and believe I will remember quite a bit of it.

The narration was fun and appropriate. There were sound effects like automobile door closing/opening and almost continuous traffic/engine rumbling. I do not care for background noises in most of my listening. However, the banter and conversation along with the subtle back ground noise [restaurant, etc.] made it cozy, like I was in the car with grandpa telling us about business.

The pet name of 'Sunshine' for the grandfather's grandson began to annoy me. As did 'bada bing, bada boom.' Other than that, no complaints.

Fantastic book and fantastic narration! 5 stars

Engaging Business Principle Lessons 📓

This, hands down, the best business book I've ever heard. The format was that of two men having a conversation on a road trip that included a few pit-stops at Starbucks and Walgreen's.

Instead of proper names, the authors chose to use pet names for this strange duo, but that didn't take away from the content. It added to the surreal nature of the book which got right to the point of improving the younger man's failing business. Following a few simple principles laid out by Jeff Bezos of Amazon that concentrate on customer experience as its foundation, I found this book entertaining, educational, and worth listening to more than once because it was jammed with so much incredible information.

It was just the right length, and the two narrators did a great job bantering with each other without sounding like they were reading, which is amazing. A lot of the book helped me to reinforced the things I have been doing right as a small business. That alone was comforting because I tend to be accused often by friends and my staff of being obsessed with my customer's experience. And now I understand that Jeff Bezos thinks it's a good thing. So I guess it's okay for me, too.

I am so grateful that I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review because I'm sure I will be watching these authors for future works. They clearly know of what they speak.

Bravo to a terrific couple of authors as well as narrators. More, please!
