Author and Delivering Happiness CEO Jenn Lim talks about how happiness can be applied in making business models. She discusses three 3 kinds of happiness: pleasure, passion, higher purpose of meaning and relates these to businesses, employees and consumers.
Jenn explains that the goal is not to be like Delivering Happiness or Zappos to succeed. Instead she believes that “It’s not the actual core values that matter. It’s the fact that you have them and that you’re aligned and committed to them.”

Delivering Happiness started out as a book. It was a worldwide hit and a #1 on the bestsellers lists of New York Times and USA Today in 2010. It was voted one of the best business books by NPR, Inc. Magazine and the Wall Street Journal, remained on the New York Times list for 27 weeks and is now being translated into its 20th language. Delivering Happiness has evolved from a book to a bus tour, and now a company and global happiness movement represented by people from 110 countries.
