He has been inducted into the Babson College Academy of Distinguished Entrepreneurs, and he received the Horatio Alger Award, The President's Award for Entrepreneurial Excellence, and The National Literacy Honors Award.
Amos is also an author who has written eight books: his autobiography, The Famous Amos Story: The Face That Launched a Thousand Chips; The Power in You: Ten Secret Ingredients to Inner Strength; Man With No Name: Turn Lemons Into Lemonade; Watermelon Magic: Seeds of Wisdom, Slices of Life; The Cookie Never Crumbles: Inspirational Recipes for Everyday Living; Be Positive; The Power in Self-Esteem: How to Discover and Fulfill Your Life Dreams; Live an Inspiring Life: Ten Secret Ingredients for Inner Strength; and The Path to Success is Paved with Positive Thinking.

On the lecture circuit, he addresses audiences at corporations, industry associations, and universities with his inspiring "do it" positive attitude.
