Tony's book, Delivering Happiness, was published in 2010, and outlines his path from starting a worm farm to life at Zappos. Delivering Happiness debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. Tony helped start Downtown Project, a group committed to helping transform downtown Las Vegas into the most community-focused large city in the world.
