Peak: How Great Companies Get Their Mojo from Maslow Paperback - 2017

Proven prescriptions that transform organizations--reformulated for the sharing economy

"It's one thing to read about an approach to business that seems both practical and admirable. It's a whole different matter when you see it practiced and work miraculously. I was fortunate to experience both the power of Peak and the power of Chip's leadership presence as we grew Airbnb together from 2013-2017."
--Joe Gebbia, cofounder and Chief Product Officer, Airbnb

"Peak was influential to me because it made me think more clearly about the needs of our customers, investors, and employees individually."
--Ben Silbermann, cofounder and CEO, Pinterest

"I admire Chip because he has organized his life around his passions and turned those passions into a story, a thriving enterprise, and a leadership philosophy that marries psychology with business. Peak is a compelling peek into the magic he made at both Joie de Vivre and Airbnb."
--Blake Mycoskie, founder and Chief Shoe Giver, TOMS

"Chip Conley's Peak reminds us what's most meaningful is creating positive, uplifting outcomes for human experiences and human relationships. Business, like life, is all about how you make people feel and Chip and his businesses are a master at making people feel good."
--Danny Meyer, founder, Union Square Hospitality Group and Shake Shack

"Peak is about how we can bring out the best in people at work. Chip Conley has done that at both Joie de Vivre and Airbnb, and he makes a convincing case for karmic capitalism: what goes around really does come around."
--Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take, and coauthor of Option B
