Creating a culture where happiness thrives has helped Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh achieve personal and business success. Tony shares the lessons he’s learned in his book, “Delivering Happiness,” which debuted #1 on the New York Times Best Seller’s list. As part of the book’s launch, Tony and his team are on a 26-city, three-month cross-country bus tour to share stories that inspire and to also be inspired by others. A key focus of the tour is promoting volunteerism and community organizations.

At UPS, we’re proud of our long-standing relationship with Tony, Zappos and the Delivering Happiness team. And we also take pride in our commitment to community service – last year UPSers and their families volunteered 1.2 million hours.

When we learned about Tony’s Delivering Happiness Bus Tour, well … we got on the bus. How?  By providing logistics support at local events hosted by the Delivering Happiness team. UPSers are helping to deliver food and beverages, set up chairs and organize volunteers at event sites. And pitching in wherever an extra hand is needed.

At his stop in Chicago, Tony talked with UPS’s Tony Orrico about logistics and the importance of company culture.
