How Starbucks Saved My Life
by, Michael Gill Gates
This books reminds me of a vachana which I had read in my School written in 12th Century by “Jagajyothi Basaveshwara“.
“kaayakave kailaasa” (ಕಾಯಕವೇ ಕೈಲಾಸ) or “Work is Worship”.
We does not understand importance of many things in our life. We learn it hard way. When we accept the changes and get along with the new life we learn many things which helps us in leading a better and different life altogether.
This book did gave me many lessons on People Management and Organizational Behaviour. Well written and a great job by Michael . Read it once you many find it enlightening and find more than what I have mentioned here.
