    《星巴克拯救了我的生命》的情节似乎那么的令人不可思议,但它确实是作者迈克尔?盖茨?吉尔德的亲身经历。小说为读者描述了世界第一都市纽约既繁华似锦又光怪陆离的景象,展示了著名国际连锁店星巴克独树一帜、多姿多彩的魅力,同时,也让我们重新认识了所谓的“美国梦”——不仅仅只有美梦成真,在纽约这个人生舞台,稍有不慎,便会遭遇噩梦。而只有那份忘却过去、拼命向前的毅力,才能拯救自己。本书展示了一个抛弃偏见,获得人生第二次机会的人生故事,相当有启发性。一个含着金钥匙出生的美国人,从小养尊处优,毕业于名门耶鲁,踏入社会后享受着特权阶层的种种庇护,坐上了美国最大广告公司副总裁的宝座。他出入于名流荟萃、佳媛云集的豪宴,游刃在权力和财富的巅峰……。但是,在他生命中的某一天,他突然发现,自己构筑的人生堡垒轰然倒塌:事业破产、家庭生活崩溃……。 最后,为了生存,他在命运的一次偶然安排下,进入了星巴克连锁店,开始了从最底层的清洁工做起的一段艰辛历程。 MichaelGatesGillisthesonofNewYorkerwriterBrendanGillandhewasacreativedirectoratJ.WalterThompsonAdvertisingwherehewasemployedforover25years.HecurrentlylivesinNewYorkwithinwalkingdistanceoftheStarbucksstorewhereheworks,andhasnoplanstoretirefromwhathecallsthebestjobhe'severhad.



    麦可·基尔生于康乃狄克州,为《纽约客》杂志知名作家布兰登·基尔(Brendan Gill)之子。耶鲁大学毕业后,进入华特汤普森广告公司工作二十年之久,并晋升为创意总监、副总裁,最后竟遭裁员解职。之后他创业不成,又陷入家庭、经济和健康的多重威胁,在六十几岁的年纪陷入人生谷底。在偶然的机会下,他获得了星巴克店员的工作,而得以进入这深具魅力的国际性企业,一探其运作奥秘与文化,而他也在这里重新学习人生的功课、感受温暖坚实的情谊,并且将这段戏剧化的遭遇写成本书,与读者分享。目前他居住在纽约,每天都走路到离家不远的星巴克咖啡店上班,而且目前还没有任何退休计划,要继续投入这个他认为一生中最精彩、最美好的工作。
