Book Description

Presents a story of the charismatic Chris Gardner - a once homeless father who raised and cared for his son on the mean streets of San Francisco and went on to become a crown prince of Wall Street. At the age of twenty, Milwaukee native Chris Gardner, just out of the Navy, arrived in San Francisco to pursue a promising career in medicine.

Soon to be a major motion picture starring Will Smith, "The Pursuit of Happyness" is the inspiring, rags-to-riches story of the charismatic Chris Gardner - a once homeless father who raised and cared for his son on the mean streets of San Francisco and went on to become a crown prince of Wall Street. At the age of twenty, Milwaukee native Chris Gardner, just out of the Navy, arrived in San Francisco to pursue a promising career in medicine. Considered a prodigy in scientific research, he surprised everyone and himself by setting his sights on the competitive world of high finance. Yet no sooner had he landed an entry level position at a prestigious firm, Gardner found himself caught in a web of incredibly challenging circumstances that left him homeless with his toddler son. Instead of giving in to despair, the two spent almost a year moving from shelters, "HO-tels", and soup-lines, even sleeping in the public restroom of a subway station - ultimately making an astonishing transformation from the bathroom to the boardroom.

读后感

先看过《The Pursuit of Happyness》这部电影之后，才看到有人向我推荐这本书，还希望我写书评。推荐人不能送我书刊，只好自己买，不过买了近一年最近才拿起来看。 在电影中，描述的基本是克里斯-加德纳在成功前夜的那段经历，带着儿子露宿街头，为一餐一饭绞尽脑汁。为他那股...  

喜欢这本书，也喜欢这个电影。 只是一直不甚欣赏书名的中文翻译。“当幸福来敲门”，一个“敲”字，总会让我觉得，好像你躲在家里，幸福会自己来敲你的门一样那么简单，那么不需要去pursue。 幸福是什么，幸福在哪里，要怎样才能把它寻着？寻着后又能把握得住吗？ 老实说，...  

生命因前行而多彩 ——《当幸福来敲门》 “Son, if you want to, one day you could make a million dollars.”这句话贯彻于故事的始末，它是一个懵懂小子的人生启蒙，是一个茫然无措的孩子的正确导航，以及一种源源不断激励着经...  

当接到这个本书的装帧设计时就激动不已很喜欢这个电影,看到泪流满面……做设计方案时候设计好几个,最终用的这个也觉得不够表达我的喜悦之情。 坚定执着的信念、信心，让人惊叹的勇气，都让我叹服。他们等待着幸福，追逐着幸福，即使只是无限期地接近，也永远不会放弃，即使周...  

用户评价

其实我最喜欢的是他们俩流浪那部分……

在zbb看到清华大学出版社的英文版。作者很诚实，所以有些不宜的内容也都写进去了。成功啊……金钱啊……

断断续续两个月终于把这本书读完了，同名电影是自己最喜欢的电影之一，但看了书才发现两者基本没什么关联性。主人公的经历令人唏嘘不已，不断的追逐幸福从未放弃。也算是自己第一本完整读完的原版小说了，值得推荐！

小伙子给人一种逆袭的感觉。比电影更甚。
