" So even if you are not into the corporate buzz or caffeine buzz you can find many motivations throughout this book. As an ex-Starbucks, Peet's lover I didn't give Howard Shultz much credit. After reading and understanding the true metamorphosis both Howard Shultz and Starbucks experienced, I have a greater respect for what he was trying to do as CEO and with Starbucks. A quick read for non-fiction. Enjoy "

" I enjoyed this book quite a bit. I wish, however, that Mr. Shultz gave more anecdotes from actually running the company instead of philosophizing about company values so much. "

" Great book on another successful business. I have alot of respect for Starbucks and Howard Schultz after this read. The first half is fantastic- the second half slows down a bit and gets confusing with too many names thrown around, but a great read, nonetheless. "

" Big fan of Howard Schultz after reading this book. Just the story of him coming to Starbucks and eventually turning it into the "third place" (home and work being the first two) is worth the price of the book. "

" Interesting at the beginning, then it gets very tedious. Has to skin through the last half of this. Starbucks is a good business, but I need a better book to learn more about teh actual decisions Schultz and his team made. Schultz cries a lot. "

" Reads like a marketing phalment for Starbucks and 99% of it is probably b/s but it was an entertaining read all the same. "

" Great book...excellent depiction of Howard Schultz's journey from his early childhood to how he created Starbucks. Although it all summed up as one happy journey but interesting to see if there will be a sequel for this book. "

" Inspiring and passionate effort of a businessman. Ada kutipan yang bagus : "Kalau ada bisnis yang sukses, pasti ada keputusan besar yang telah diambil". Hmmmm.... isn't true? "

" I loved the book as a story of the how Howard Schultz built paradigm changing Starbucks coffee shops. I felt he was very transparent in the telling of the tale - both good and bad. He revealed what it takes to build a world wide business success. "

Jill | 9/2/2011
" This is an amazing book. I love Starbucks, but if you are interested in business and marketing I think you'll love this book too. The way that this business was built - mainly the thought process behind it - is really intriguing! "

Matt | 7/9/2011
" The first 1/4 is interesting as Schultz details the launch and early years of Starbucks. I learned a lot about what starting a business would feel like. The rest felt like corporate hype and was hard to take totally seriously. "

" One of the best business-success-stories I've ever read.
It's not only about how has Starbucks come to its present power. It's more about how passion, hope and beliefs can help to build not only global company, but the whole global industry!

" One of the best CEO's biography of building transcontinental company. It's interesting, that it talks about real small business, that grows to top. This book was much more useful than book from Jack Welsh or Walmart history, because it tells real advices for your first store.
