在年过半百之际遇上事业,婚姻和人际的低谷是不幸的;但一个从小生活在优越环境中的人能在自己的一生中得到这样一种磨练却是幸运的,不枉此生。。。
评分好久没有读书的关系,捧着这本书如饥似渴的读着,字里行间都洋溢着的青春和活力,感染着我,让我很难想象作者是一位近七十岁的老人。 这本书给了我太多的感受,头脑中思绪万千,不知道能哪儿说起。干脆列表吧 1.励志:年轻人的想法总是很多,也很有创意,但大多都是因为...
评分Michael 从一个成功的白领,每天喝着latte到事业家庭破裂变成一个给人端Latte的服务员已经是中国的花甲之年了。 他竟然觉得活了一辈子,在他最落魄的时候才真正感悟到人生的幸福。这让我吃了一惊。我身边60岁的老人都是手颤拄拐轮椅的形象,他们一坐就是一...
评分乍一看这本书实在有为星巴克打广告的嫌疑,不过作者自己是星巴克员工的话这么做倒是可以体谅吧。 自己是广告专业的看到老前辈广告事业结局如此确实有些悲凉,也许这个行业就是这样吧,你没有新东西可以表现了,那么你也可以说再见了。 不过迈克尔确实是勇气可嘉的,虽...
评分先是作者的身份吸引了我,多NB啊。JWT的ECD类似的位置,年薪上百万美元,怎么会去星巴克做个招待生呢。必须要看下,未来广告的大师们的下场是不是都是星巴克或者KFC。 开始阅读,不知道为什么看到他被辞退的时候我竟然觉得很过瘾,60多岁应该是到了退休的年龄了,还在这样一...

A candid, moving and inspirational memoir about a high-flying business man who is forced to re-evaluate his life and values when he suddenly loses everything and goes to work in Starbucks. Michael Gill had it made. He was educated, wealthy and well-connected. He had a creative and lucrative advertising job, which he loved and which he was good at, and a model family and home life. Then he loses it all. He is fired by a young exec whom he had mentored. He has an extramarital affair that destroys his family and results in a newborn son. Then he is diagnosed with brain cancer. He has no insurance, no income. One day he wanders into Starbucks and by chance signs up for a job interview. His would-be boss is a young black woman who gives him a job, and sets about training him and mentoring him. What follows is an inspirational eye-opener as Gill experiences a whole new world compared to his former life -- with people from completely different ethnic and social backgrounds. 'How Starbucks Saved My Life' follows Gill's journey of discovery as gradually he is forced to question his ingrained assumptions, prejudices and habits.Gill emerges from his fall from grace with humility and gratitude. His new-found empathy teaches him how anyone who has lost their way, or made a mistake, can start again.
