How Starbucks Saved My Life pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
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.
迈克尔•盖茨•吉尔生于康乃狄克州,为《纽约客》杂志知名作家布兰登•基尔(Brendan Gill)之子。耶鲁大学毕业后,进入华特汤普森广告公司工作二十年之久,并晋升为创意总监、副总裁,最后竟遭裁员解职。之后他创业不成,又陷入家庭、经济和健康的多重威胁,在六十几岁的年纪陷入人生谷底。在偶然的机会下,他获得了星巴克店员的工作,而得以进入这深具魅力的国际性企业,一探其运作奥秘与文化,而他也在这里重新学习人生的功课、感受温暖坚实的情谊,并且将这段戏剧化的遭遇写成本书,与读者分享。目前他居住在纽约,每天都走路到离家不远的星巴克咖啡店上班,而且目前还没有任何退休计划,要继续投入这个他认为一生中最精彩、最美好的工作。
真滴不是星巴克广告吗,文笔很一般。
评分挺好看,就是太像广告~
评分前辈推荐的书 有时间再重读一次好了
评分很羡慕作者那多姿多彩的人生
评分Borrowed from Maegan, quite an easy read. meaning in life leads to happiness.
看第一章就忍不住倒吸了一口冷气,如此高调奢华的前半生:名人之子、耶鲁与骷髅会、顶级广告公司副总裁,却在63岁高龄之时遭遇生存危机,不由得让我想到自己,是否在不远的将来也会面临类似窘境,我可不想60多岁再去为生活奔波。 随着章节的推进,为了安慰自己,为了不担忧未来...
评分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。。。
评分昨天看了本书叫《星巴克拯救了我的生命》。此书好比长篇软文,告诉我们星巴克怎么善待员工和顾客,怎么提供优质服务和咖啡,怎么倡导和坚持人人平等和反对种族歧视……总之,故事交代了星巴克在一个60多岁的老人潦倒无助之时像神一般挽救了他,让他获得重生。尽管被感...
评分很好看的故事,却又不是故事,很惊讶这本书居然是作者本人的经历,完全真实,真实到连书中人物的名字几乎也用的是真名,一直都很喜欢星巴克营造的浪漫咖啡气氛,读完此书,为作者的勇气所感动,世间有几人能真正做到放下屠刀立地成佛呢,那份勇气真是可贵的,从世界一流的广告...
评分地铁上读完。 以休息了近半年后重新走上工作岗位的心情读此书, 对作者“工作即尊严”这句话挺有感触, 不管成绩如何, 想说, I have done the best I can.
