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

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.
