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.
