Description
At the age of 20, Chris Gardner arrived in San Francisco to pursue a promising career in medicine. However, he surprised everyone and himself by setting his sights on the competitive world of high finance. Yet no sooner had he landed an entry-level position at a prestigious firm, Gardner found himself caught in a web of incredibly challenging circumstances that left him part of the city's working homeless with his toddler son. Motivated by the promise he made to himself as a fatherless child to never abandon his own children, the two spent almost a year moving from shelters, "HO-tels", and soup-lines.
Never giving in to despair, Gardner makes an astonishing transformation from being part of the city's invisible to being a powerful player in its financial district. Here is the story of a man who breaks his own family's cycle of men abandoning their children, a story that appeals to the very essence of the American Dream.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Gardner is honest and thorough as he solidly depicts growing up black and male in late 20th-century urban America." (Publishers Weekly)

Highly Motivational and Relatable
I am a father of three boys and share some similar challenges as spoken of in this book. Reading Chris' story, although very sad and heart wrenching at times, is a huge motivator. That regardless of your circumstances, as long as you have the mental strength and determination and a very strong sense of responsibility the goals you have of achieving your successes are well within reach.
I gave an overall 4 stars because I would have liked to have heard the unabridged version. I'm curious as to how much of this great story I missed.
