Despite his fame and influence, Jeff Bezos has remained a mysterious figure. But through his life story and his writings, we can now understand what drives him. Invent and release! The volume, which consists of Bezos' interviews, speeches, and original-style annual shareholder letters written by himself every time since 1997, gives a glimpse into the successes and secrets of one of the world's most famous businessmen and greatest innovators.
The book touches on a variety of topics, from business issues to politics and innovation to climate change and outer space. "We like to invent and do new things - writes Bezos. - And I am convinced that long-term planning is the basis of innovation, since innovation always involves many failures."
Bezos' interest in space travel always reminds him to think long term. This is also emphasized by the Latin motto of the coat of arms of his space technology company, Blue Origin: Gradatim Ferociter, meaning "Step by step, passionately." His writings offer new and fresh approaches to today's and especially tomorrow's challenges, the eternal imperative of progress.
