"He is going to die." Those were the words of the singer Jewel in August 2020, after she visited her friend, former Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, at his $16 million Utah compound. There, the once incredibly successful and well-respected entrepreneur — beloved for his embrace of finding happiness in the workplace — was in the midst of a speedy downfall. The place was covered with empty canisters of nitrous oxide, which Hsieh huffed as many as 50 of a day. Dog droppings littered the place. Sink and shower faucets ran day and night to evoke the sound of waterfalls. And then there were the candles: Hundreds of them burned. "If he kills himself and everyone else in there from a huge fire," Jewel said as she departed, "you can't say you were not warned." Three months later, Hsieh was dead after a mysterious house fire. Read the incredible rollercoaster tale, from the new book "Happy At Any Cost," below. We also have a look into the wet and wild world of drug-running submariners and the truth about Silicon Valley's "work as religion" philosophy. Have a great Sunday.
