Very Happy Person

When I got home today there was two packages waiting for me from Zappos. One was my shoes and compression pants. And can I tell you those pants stinking rock! I tried them on immediately and was so inspired that no I didn't run, it was dark out, but I did the 30 Day Shred. (For those of you who haven't been initiated to the Shred, nobody wants to do the Shred). The pants are that great. I can't wait to get to the gym tomorrow morning so I can run in them.

The second package was notifying me that I was a member of Zappos Very Happy Person (VHP) program for my enthusiastic support of the launch of Delivering Happiness, which is a great book and should be required reading for anyone running a business. How fun is this little package. It included a signed book and t-shirt.

I am off to spread happiness...

Reading Material

I usually have a pile of books to read during Spring Break. Simple, quick, easy reading chick lit. But this break I was totally unprepared with reading materials. Lucky for me two days before leaving for Indiana I received an advance copy of Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh. I don't know Tony but he makes me happy. Over the last year or so I've been fascinated with Tony, Zappos, and finding happiness at work.

I work for a great company, first and foremost. However, something is missing in my current role that I am looking to fill from the inside and I'll just leave it at that.

I loved this book. I am actually getting ready to re-read it. It makes me happy to know that my views and opinions on business, companies, recruiting, and pipeline are shared by others. Very validating. It's also really making me ask questions about my view on happiness. What does happiness mean to me?

If  you wonder the same thing, check out Delivering Happiness. If that's not your thing, you're already happy, or you don't want to get that deep do a little shoe shopping Zappos.com . New shoes make everyone happy.
