Can't get through the morning without your Venti Latte? Then you should pick up Michael Gates Gill's book, How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else.
In this short memoir, Gill contrasts the charmed life of his childhood and successful advertising career to that of his job as a Barista at a NYC Starbucks. After being fired from a high powered advertising firm, Gill's life falls apart. Soon, he finds that the only luxury he can afford is a latte from his local Starbucks. Luckily, fate brings Crystal, an energetic Starbucks manager, across his path, and, with her, a job.
Once working at Starbucks, Gill finds out that although he was once a corporate executive, he still has much to learn. This is a heartwarming tale of a man who finds out late in life what truly is important.
