  • Bezos is always great to hear. He has that wonderful combination of brilliance and perspective that typically results in an individual who is forward-thinking, yet with feet planted firmly in the ground.

    Great lecture.

  • He's an absolute inspiration

  • @dragster178 SpaceWalkTraveller is right....I look up the controversey about the so-called pedophile guide book written by Phillip R. Greaves....you can see this WSJ article about it at: blogs.wsj.com/digits/2010/11/1­1/pedophilia-book-removed-from­-amazon-but-others-remain. I cannot believe Bezos said it was "free speech" for someone to publish a book about pedophilia!! Any book promoting illegal activities should never be sold at Amazon or anywhere for that matter!

  • @SpaceWalkTraveller You're such an idiot. I'm wasting my time even typing this comment.

  • Having never heard Jeff Bezos speak before I will say he sounds like a California surfer. I am surprised he sounds way younger than I thought he was. Cool.

  • Giannis Bezos is better

  • I recently sold half of my Amazon stocks, I plan to sell the remaining half later this year. This decision is due to the following specifics 1. The secretive and corrupt culture at Amazon, 2. the heavy-handed culture or work environment Jeff bozos has created. If you will he has created a chimera. This tradition coupled with a heavy-handed, enigmatic culture of mistreating employees is a recipe for disaster.

  • This guy Jeff Bezos is a real ass**le don’t believe anything good he says, or don’t be foul by his credo Amazon is earth friendliest and holistic crap- he steals moneys from buyers and sellers to pump up Amazon quarterly earnings – Avoid buying any on Amazon near the end of each quarter - Dogs

  • @chlore2004 Yeah I agree who would sell books on how to molest children????
