I often feel like highbrow journalists allow themselves to get a little bit loose and sensationalistic when they take on the tech industry, because tech is looked down on in their circles and nobody is going to hold them to their usual standards, but I have personal experience with the myth of Tony Hsieh. Multiple coworkers have told me that Tony Hsieh's book (Delivering Happiness) changed the direction of their life, reinvigorated their enthusiasm for work, or defined how they personally approached business and personal relationships, and they recommended it to me almost evangelically. (It's on my Kindle, so far, unread beyond the first couple of pages.) I'm pretty far from the center of startup culture, both personally and geographically, and I often read things about startup culture that I never personally experience myself, so the fact that the myth of Tony Hsieh reached me makes me suspect it was a pretty big deal. Usually when people talk glowingly about tech industry titans like Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, etc., they start with, "Of course he is/was a complete asshole, but...." Maybe that's how people talk about Tony Hsieh now, but for a while at least, a lot of people saw him as an inspirational person.
