Now in paperback, the national bestselling riches-to-rags true story of an advertising executive who had it all, then lost it all—and was finally redeemed by his new job, and his twenty-eight-year-old boss, at Starbucks.
In his fifties, Michael Gates Gill had it all: a mansion in the suburbs, a wife and loving children, a six-figure salary, and an Ivy League education. But in a few short years, he lost his job, got divorced, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor. With no money or health insurance, he was forced to get a job at Starbucks. Having gone from power lunches to scrubbing toilets, from being served to serving, Michael was a true fish out of water.
But fate brings an unexpected teacher into his life who opens his eyes to what living well really looks like. The two seem to have nothing in common: She is a young African American, the daughter of a drug addict; he is used to being the boss but reports to her now. For the first time in his life he experiences being a member of a minority trying hard to survive in a challenging new job. He learns the value of hard work and humility, as well as what it truly means to respect another person.
Behind the scenes at one of America’s most intriguing businesses, an inspiring friendship is born, a family begins to heal, and, thanks to his unlikely mentor, Michael Gill at last experiences a sense of self-worth and happiness he has never known before.

"A great lesson in finding your highest self in the unlikeliest of places-- proof positive that there is no way to happiness-- rather, happiness is the way."

"I like my Starbucks, but I loved this book. It hit me emotionally and intellectually, right in the gut. The message, what the world needs to embrace most, made my cup runneth over!
Dr. Denis Waitley, author of "The Seeds of Greatness"
""How Starbucks Saved My Life" is based on the simple idea that down-to-earth, humbling labor can help you re-orient your values and priorities and give you new life.

As a Japanese, I thought what starbucks offer to the customers is just a regular service.
However, many blue collar workers seem to be frustrated, disappointed or bored in their life
in the US so the difference must impressed Mike. Now it makes sense the mechanism. Starbucks
respect their employee and offer them a lot to make their life better such as medical insurance.
Therefore employees can happily work and as result it brings in more customers.
While I read, I was dying to have a strong starbucks dripped coffee and sweets. This story
would definitely make you feel that way if you love coffee.
This isn't just a calm and peaceful story. I thought Mike is a victim of over much capitalism which
is created by a "Privilege" like him. Getting rid of an old man who faithfully worked for the company
in the past but no more new idea is often better for economy but this kind of society won't sustain.
One thing I didn't understand is resister closure. Starbucks allowes workers up to 5 dollars error
but Mike twice made more than 5 dollars error and when he made it 3 cents error, he was really happy.
I suspect Americans are not good at counting money. Making error is not common here in Japan
and I've almost never had error on this.
My favorite part is that Crystal stroke down Mike when he got upset that a homeless without purchasing
used the rest room. Her philosophy is that anyone who entered into the store is customer. In Paris, I had to
show the receipt to get the key for the rest room. I hope all the Starbucks have same philosophy as Crystal.
This is just another story but I'd say hearing that an old man who dropped down his life found the reason
for living would never make you feel bad. You'd definitely have happy feelings reading it besides your coffee.

洋書多読ビギナーです。年も若くないので、筆者のように新しいフィールドにもし同じ立場だとして飛び込めるかな、とか色々思いを巡らせながら読みました。スタバにもよく行くので、お店の描写は想像もしやすく、楽しく読み終えました。

NYの街並みを思い浮かべながら楽しく読めました。
スタバの宣伝かと思わせるような部分や過去の話が大げさすぎるのではないかと思う部分もありました。
でも心温まるヒューマンドラマとしてはとてもよかったです。
今から映画が楽しみです。

この本はスターバックスという会社がいかにして現在の地位まで上り詰めたのかが理解できる本です。
従業員を社員と呼ばずに”パートナー”と呼び、定期的にアワード(表彰式)を行い、彼らが毎日人々の生活や人生をよりよくする変化をもたらしている(”Making a differnce in people's lives”)と思わせる。そんな些細なことが世界中のスタバで働く社員に誇りを与え、彼らが日々よりよい店作りをしようと努力するきっかけになる。
会社は結局そこで働く人で成り立っている。
ここで働いていてよかった、そう思わせてくれる会社が世の中にどれだけあるだろう。
この会社のために、この会社をよくするために、自分に何ができるだろう、そう思っている社員がどれだけいるだろう。
自分の職場に満足していない人は、そんな自分の居場所を見つけた筆者がうらやましく思えるに違いない。
毎朝グリーンのエプロンをつけ、来店するなじみの客に好みのラテを提供する。
たかがラテ、されどラテ。一杯のラテには人それぞれの想いがつまっているのだ。

社会的地位も家庭もすべてを手に入れたと思っていた中高年男性が、まさかの失業と離婚。負け組に転落した時に何を考え、どう対処していくか。著者は困難な状況でも前向きで、冷静に過去の自分を反省し、プライドを捨てて赤裸々に自分の問題を告白している姿勢に感動した。一生懸命、スタバのトイレ掃除する姿を想像してしまった。目の前の仕事に手を抜かないって大切ですね。スタバの黒人スタッフも良い人に恵まれて心が温まるストーリー、スタバに行きたくなります。

特にスターバックスのファンではありませんでしたが、読んでいてスタバで働きたくなりました。また、英語でどのようにスタバで注文するのかなど普段あまり気にも留めない表現をたくさん知ることが出来てよかったです。

This book is a great read as it demonstrated how one can humble himself/herself when found in need to take on a servant's role. From riches to finding community among our common folks!

I have had a similar experience to the protagonist of this book. The last period of my working life has been a nightmare, but never give up. I appreciated the values carried forward by Starbucks and the team spirit among the employees. A true story well written (very involving indeed).

Amazing story telling and detailing is great. I liked this book because the story is so captivating and so many things to learn. Is this book going to have a sequel?
