毒品、酗酒...Zappos创始人谢家华（Tony Hsieh）的“悲剧”

11月28日，Zappos创始人谢家华（Tony Hsieh）因火灾意外去世。这位商界偶像在《传递幸福》让别人微笑的时候，自己却存在心理健康和毒瘾的问题。过去几天，《福布斯》试图弄清楚他的遭遇，采访了谢家华的20多位好友和同事后，用“Tony Hsieh’s American Tragedy”作为了文章标题。

据他的朋友和家人说，谢长廷一直存在酗酒的问题，这几年还染上了毒品，尤其是一氧化二氮（笑气）。朋友们还提到了心理健康方面的问题，谢家华经常孤独感作斗争，并且常常失眠。有消息称，他在今年8月已从Zappos“退休”。其实当朋友和家人了解到谢家华有这些问题后，为了让谢家华“清醒”过来，他们也在过去的几个月里试图采取干预措施，但都没有避免掉这次的悲剧。

意外发生后，从比尔·克林顿到伊万卡再到贝佐斯...成千上万人都参与进了谢家华悼念活动。人们上次这样悲痛和悼念一位商业领袖，还是在十年前乔布斯去世之时。

While he directly (by the tens of thousands) and indirectly (by the millions) delivered on making other people smile, Hsieh was privately coping with issues of mental health and addiction. Forbes has interviewed more than 20 of his close friends and colleagues over the past few days, each trying to come to grips with how this brightest of lights had met such a dark and sudden end.

According to his friends and family, Hsieh’s personal struggles took a dramatic turn south over the past year, especially as the Covid-19 pandemic curtailed the nonstop action that Hsieh seemingly craved. According to numerous sources with direct knowledge, Hsieh, always a heavy drinker, veered into frequent drug use, notably nitrous oxide. Friends also cited mental health battles, as Hsieh often struggled with sleep and feelings of loneliness—traits that drove his fervor for purpose and passion in life. By August, it was announced that he had “retired” from the company he built, and which Amazon had let him run largely autonomously since paying $1.2 billion for Zappos in 2009. Friends and family members, understanding the emerging crisis, attempted interventions over the past few months to try to get him sober.Reconciling their accounts, one word rises up: tragedy.

In the days since, the outpouring of grief has rivaled any for a business leader since the passing of Steve Jobs a decade ago. From Bill Clinton to Ivanka Trump to Jeff Bezos, thousands of people weighed in to share memories.  source
