Yossi is a bodhisattva--calm, serene and compassionate. . . . He weaves the lessons in with the narrative to create an amazing presentation and exudes real wisdom and grace. I can say honestly he was the fan favorite.

Many people have commented to me how moved they were by Yossi's amazing story, by his honesty, humility and the courage he showed us by sharing the impact his journey had on him as a human being. I am honored to have met Yossi and to have had the privilege of creating, through him, a profound experience for the audience.

Wow! Yossi's talk was full of suspense, inspiration and elicited many emotions from our audience.

Yossi was the highest-rated speaker at the Auckland Symposium, with an incredible 6.6 rating on CoreNet's standard seven-point scale.

His simplicity in recounting his Amazon tales sans a fraction of fear, speaking straight from his heart left everyone humbled for this great gift bestowed on us called 'life'. The Aditya Birla Group is grateful to Yossi Ghinsberg for having eloquently shared his survival experiences from the Amazon and thereby making a positive difference to each individual present that day, in encouraging them to treasure their special life. He was truly moving and yet inspirational.

Yossi's sharing of his life story was a subtle way of looking ourselves at a mirror, introspecting right down to the very fabric of our personality that's often clouded by volumes, numbers and profits, and rediscover those champion genes flowing in our blood. Really going back to the basics and what is essential.
