Michael Gates Gill lived a life of sheer luxury. A high-
powered executive at an exclusive Ad Agency in New York
City that catered to the likes of Lee Iacocca, Michael
lived a dream life that only few could ever hope to
achieve. With an Ivy League education and a loving family,
Michael toured the circuit and rubbed elbows with the rich
and famous almost every day of his life. Of course,
success does have its price, but Michael was willing to
skip familial obligations and milestones in his children's
lives so that he could provide the perfect life for
himself and the ones he loved. Isn't that what's most
important in life?
When all of a sudden his luck changes and he finds himself
without a job, Michael is forced to change gears as he
slowly watches his life turn into shambles. His twenty
year marriage abruptly comes to an end and his financial
security becomes non-existent. As if things weren't bad
enough, he discovers that he has a brain tumor that needs
to be removed; however, without health insurance, the
probability of the operation is quite nil.
As if the heavens had heard his cry, one bleak, cold
morning he walks into his favorite establishment,
Starbucks, and accepts a position as a barista. He, a man
who had turned up his nose at the working class all of his
life, now finds himself serving lattes and cappuccinos to
the very people he once belittled as well as to his peers
who much to their chagrin, can't believe that this once
powerful man is now subjected to a service job just to
survive. What unfolds is a life changing experience that
enables him to pull himself up by his bootstraps and
discover the real meaning of life while finally finding
his true self in the process.
Poignant, entertaining, and life-altering. HOW STARBUCKS
SAVED MY LIFE is an inspirational story that tears at the
reader's heartstrings and makes you take a step back and
examine your own life in the process. If ever there was a
book that should be on everyone's reading list, this one
most certainly would be it.
The 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.
