Happiness Delivered by Zappos

Friday, 21 May, 2010

Happiness was definitely delivered to my door when I received advanced copies of the book, Delivering Happiness, written by Tony Hsieh, CEO, Zappos. The delivery was a total surprise to me! Needless to say, I’m a  recipient of the service that powers Zappos.com and the happiness it has given me.

The book officially launches June 7, 2010. Go to the advance copy giveaway program for bloggers to apply for a copy.

 Additionally, I will give an advanced copy  to  a reader of the Lifestyle Wellness Coach blog. In order for all of you to have a chance I will give it to the blog reader who has the most “friends”, “fans” and people who “like” her or him give  the reader a shout out on Facebook or when they subscribe to the Lifestyle Wellness Newsletter. The shout out need to simply read, “Shout for …….(person’s name or facebook name). Newsletter subscribers simply leave a “Shout for….” in the comment section of this post. This method gives transparency to the process, gives you the shouter and the reader exposure on social media platforms and facilitates the counting  of shout outs. Start shouting now for a copy of Delivering Happiness!
