"In Wonder Boy , Angel Au-Yeung and David Jeans have delivered a heartbreaking and extraordinary account of a heartbreaking and extraordinary man. Tony Hsieh was an innovative business leader, but he was also frenetic, generous, difficult, and tormented. His rise and fall is a quintessential American tragedy--one that their thorough reporting captures movingly." --Max Chafkin, author of The Contrarian: Peter Thiel and Silicon Valley's Pursuit of Power " Wonder Boy is a captivating story about the combustible mixture of genius, ambition, ego, empathy, wealth and intoxicants in the turbocharged environment of the technology elite. Au-Yeung and Jeans bring us deep inside the world of Tony Hsieh in a way that is both revelatory and entertaining." --Alec Ross, author of The Raging 2020s " Wonder Boy is so much more than a biography. Sure, it tells the story of Tony Hseih's life, but it's full of lessons for anyone interested in psychology, business, or social dynamics. Angel Au-Yeung and David Jeans approach their subject as investigative reporters, yet they remain full of empathy and compassion.


" --Dan Alexander, author of White House, Inc.: How Donald Trump Turned the Presidency into a Business "Au-Yeung and Jeans's empathetic portrait is as enthralling as it is achingly sad, combining rich research with a propulsive novelistic style.
