The Delivering Happiness Bus Tour : Inspire and Be Inspired.

It's been a year since Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh wrote his first book Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose, which became an instant bestseller on many lists, including the New York Times.

If you've read Delivering Happiness, you know Tony likes to do things a little differently and naturally, that carries over to launching a book. So starting in August, Tony and the Delivering Happiness team will be heading on a 20+ city bus tour with one mission in mind: to Inspire and Be Inspired.

They'll be driving cross-country, visiting colleges, companies and non-profits while throwing events, Delivering Happiness style. There will be town hall meetings, Q&As, book signings, BBQs and music along the way. They'll be talking to people that have been inspired by the book and, in turn, have inspired us.

This isn't your average tour bus either – the 47', baby-blue DHBus has received a complete happiness makeover that includes green grass (on the inside), a fridge stocked with Red Bull and pickles and the latest in technology that might give them a run at being the Most Wired Bus in the World.

And even if you're not physically on the bus, you can still hop on! Follow along by visiting our interactive map of real-time tweets about the tour. Engage with the team and read up on their travel journal, where we'll be sharing summaries of our events and memorable moments of the day.

Of course a big part of Inspire and Be Inspired is the community that's growing into the Delivering Happiness Movement. Come join the movement and connect with others throughout our online community. Share your story, read others, take part in the on-going discussions on the Delivering Happiness message boards or start your own.
