His Parents immigration status: "Second-generation"

Because the exact term "second-generation" lacks a universally-accepted definition, a more precise description should be used. Even Wikipedia's own entry on the term "second-generation" declares the phrase to be ambiguous. As such, it probably should not be used in any biographical entries on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emathias (talk • contribs) 18:14, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

His Book: "Delivering Happiness"

Should we include information about his soon-to-be-released book? Link: http://www.amazon.com/Delivering-Happiness-Profits-Passion-Purpose/dp/0446563048 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.200.13.175 (talk) 04:00, 19 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Birthday

In his book, he mentions that his birthday is December 11. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JackTruong (talk • contribs) 13:55, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

JackTruong, do you have any other citations to support the date of birth? In looking at the quote from the book, it states, "The first official party of 810 would be on Saturday, December 11, 1999. At midnight, I would turn twenty-six." One could read this to state that he turned 26 at midnight (Party began on December 11 and at midnight it would be December 12th. The quote seems to be in future tense). The following source also supports the December 12th birthday, https://www.wsj.com/articles/former-zappos-ceo-tony-hsieh-dies-at-46-11606572300 Jurisdicta (talk) 23:14, 28 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
