Book Review of How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else

How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


I picked this book up for my son who had to read if for freshman college.
I flipped through it because the name Starbucks caught my eye.
After the first couple of pages I was hooked and read it in 1 day.
It was interesting to see how a man my same age who grew up in a
wealthy family and had college and jobs handed to him dealt with
getting fired from a career he had put his life into and coming
out on top. How does a man who has had everything handed to him
start from scratch at a job at Starbucks that ultimately "saved
his life" and made him a much better person for it? Read the
book and you will find out. You won't be disappointed. I wasn't.
