It was a great story on how so many people came together to build the Starbucks empire

Never been to Starbucks, now I want to try them, man I even want to work there after listening to this audiobook.. I learned that building business is not as easy as thought and not as impossible as I think.

Amazing, thoroughly enjoyed the book. I like the way he pours his words into the book like as a fictional writer. I hope to read more from him.

Flippin excellent book! Excellent flippin book, book of flippin excellence (they forced me to write this many words)

[Becky Su · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was pretty interesting but incredibly rushed and vague after the purchase of the original Starbucks. It doesn’t speak of the growth or business side as much as his personal enlightenment and struggle to start the idea.

[Ethan · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Provides a huge range of business principles and personal experiences tightly woven together, resulting in an outstanding revision of the Starbucks Corp.

[Nami Ahmed · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The narration was very spoken and clear. My strategic management professor in my MBA program recommended this book and it definitely lived up to the course content as well as provide some strategies and inspiration.

I found this book to be informative, inspiring and very interesting. It gave me an entirely new perspective on Howard Schultz and a new appreciation for Starbucks and the heartfelt beginnings from which it was founded.

Howard Schultz tells his side of the story. Some of his background, joining Starbucks, leaving Starbucks, buying Starbucks and continuing to work with Starbucks. The copy I had came into the libraries in 2007 but was originally published in 1997, before Schultz's 8-year hiatus from managing the company (he returned in 2008 after sales went down under the previous president), and before bombings and riots, so the view is a little rosier than it may be from an independent view and from a smaller viewpoint than is current.

Still it's interesting to see the view of someone who has worked his way up the ladder from being on the breadline to a multi-million business that he seems to have a great enthuaism for. He is a fan of good coffee and really seems to want to spread the joy of coffee as far as he can.

However there are moments where the mask slips. Where he talks about unions (he is adamantly anti-union, fine in a small business but sometimes large corporations need someone to keep them in check or to back up people being bullied by management) and in some other places where he basically had to be talked into doing things another way in order to make things work better.

Overall an interesting look at a life consumed by coffee.

A great book for encouraging you to get out there and do it for yourself. Inspiring.
