For effort I gave How to Save Your Own Life 2 stars, however weak and tiresome it is. I was hoping to like it, but...

Capitulate and retreat...

This is not a Hawthorne, Melville or any other piece of great literature, but, it is somewhat of a How to Save Your Own Life lessons, a type of self-help book without preaching or advertising a product. Boring. It's more like a Tony Danza character or a rusty trombone, the repetition is insufferable. It's also an echo chamber of unearned excuses, with Gill realizing he can't recreate his inherited wealthy past through his untalented present, so he makes due with plastic chairs in his attic-studio apartment, and recognizing the beauty of nature and people's personalities. I think it's called brown-nosing? Oh my!

Gill's writing style is less stellar than it is mediocre, yet his common insight on living during his older age has a guise all its own. He has to be somewhere and it might as well be Starbucks, and of course with his wealthy buddies he'd collected during his advertising career.

This book is a wheelbarrow full of ideas on how to lighten your seriousness and listen to your own heart. Gill brings sunrise and sunset colors to your eyes and coffee flavors to your palate about how to enjoy the moments of living, even if it's just to hug your mother, watching a child laugh, making eye contact with a dog, or feeling the cool breeze and raindrops on your face during a storm.

This author brings his life's experiences to the reader, no matter how simplistic they are, or how non-conversational, when he was ignoring the gifts of living before he was fired from his profession and afterward when he was faltering as a human being in search future exploits, he wrote this polite Tony Danza epic. It's a player's game to recognizing how much you have lived life without going anywhere.

All of us have lessons to be learned through life's experiences. Some of us can express them and others suppress them. Most of the ideas Michael Gates Gill writes about are common sense, whether you recognize them or not, all of us have had similar ideals and aspirations we needed to follow, it's just that some of us have yet to acknowledge the path we'd taken was shallow, that the lofty ideals we'd held were insignificant in the big picture of living, and Gill's life was shallow and insignificant.

Perhaps reading this Liza Minnelli hoopla will help you find an exciting and enjoyable piece of reality in your heart, a place like Gill's present that will make you understand his lifestyle isn't for you, and help make living your life more enjoyable not having to work at Starbucks brown nosing friends for the celebrity and wealth.(less)

As someone who weathered a life-altering crises a few years ago I really wanted to like this book. I purposefully changed the course of my life and am happier than I've ever been, so given the description of this book I really wanted to like it and was delighted to win a copy from Goodreads. Unfortunately I found reading it akin to listening to a 'recovered' alcoholic talk about how 'happy' he is not to be drinking when in fact he'd be back at the bar in a heartbeat given half a chance.

I went through a life changing experience (I barely survived an invasive brain tumor) and during that time had to deal with a series of managers who felt that my inability to focus or to give 110% during my recovery was due to some character flaw, so I was very willing to read about someone else's trials and how they overcame then.

Unfortunately, it began very quickly to sound like a repetitive explanation of a series of humdrum cliches. Stop and smell the roses. Take time to enjoy your children....more

Written as a follow-up to How Starbucks Saved My Life, which was a riches to rags story if ever there was one, this newest book is likely to find a following among those down on their luck and looking for inspiration, or those who just feel buoyed by self-help books.

Offering advice on how you too can cope with diminished circumstances and come out the better for it, his latest work will be warmly welcomed by many of those whose lives need saving, although some might suspect he protests too much and national book tours may very well take the hum-drum out of the day to day grind of the Starbuck's experience. To be fair... I believe Michael Gates Gill is telling the truth as he sees it. He was lost, and now he's found... and fortunately he can tell a story and call to mind incidents with gentleness, and that speak well of him as a person. (A disclaimer here... in his first book he told the story of his long-time childhood friend Gordon Fairburn during his final days of illness. I knew Gordon Fairburn; he was a friend and neighbor and a man of great character and integrity, and the story rang completely true. And if Gordon had maintained a life-long friendship with Michael Gill it spoke volumes.)

However, as most people will recognize, it is not the circumstances that dictate the behavior. Humility and generosity of spirit are characteristics that are found in rich and poor alike. Arrogance isn't limited to the rich and powerful... and to suggest it is more characteristic of the "privileged elite" just isn't convincing. (No need to live with plastic picnic furniture to find nirvana... I'm with the reporter who thought he could use a couch.) Michael Gates Gill's change came with the recognition that there is intrinsic value in every individual (including himself) and that joy can be found in the smallest details. Satisfaction with a job well done, whatever the circumstance, and acceptance of oneself and others, are the qualities that matter. Mostly common sense advice but it never hurts to be reminded.

My advice, take the message in the spirit in which it was intended and find meaning where you will. If the book appeals you will know it immediately. If you enjoy it, keep reading. If it annoys you, put it down. It's not for everyone but I finished it, generally enjoyed it and would recommend it to some and not to others. You have to know your audience.(less)

How to Save Your Own Life finds Michael Gates Gill imparting his wisdom on what he's learned after Starbucks saved his life. Many of it is platitudes we've all heard before: learn from your parents, it's never too late to go for your dreams, listen to the silence, etc. What makes it different is how he takes it from different aspects of his life.

What Gill is going through is nothing new. It's a riches to rags story and learning how to adapt to the misfortune. But he does it well. He's very char...more

I'm sorry to say that I did not enjoy How to Save Your Own Life: 15 Lessons on Finding Hope in Unexpected Places. While the premise sounded interesting, the writing turned out to be mediocre, and especially repetitive. The 15 lessons were all rather uninteresting as well, nothing you haven't heard before, mostly instructions to appreciate those around you more, and learn to balance your work with your family/social life.

Felt like a neighbor that had a near death experience telling you how to live life simply. Parts were repetitive, especially the wonder at how one can live with a part time coffee shop job and in an apartment with lawn furniture for the dining room set, and descriptions of his former high-flying life. It felt like he was trying to reach beyond his first book but didn't have all that much to add. He did have some extended stories that I found interesting, mostly about his family.

Well, according to Michael Gates Gill, author of "How to Save Your Own Life", you should. His circumstances would give most people pause. He was let go from a prestigious New York advertising firm in mid-life, had a marriage end (albeit due to his affair) and found out he had a benign brain tumor after he no longer had insurance. Gill picked himself up by working at a nearby Starbucks and he apparently learned enough lessons to create not just one but two books about the experience. His previous, "How Starbucks Saved My Life", was a New York Times bestseller although I will admit I haven’t read that one. It’s not a necessary prequel as Gill gives the appropriate background in the second book.

Several of the sections, which Gill titles “lessons”, of How to Save Your Own Life have resonance. After the recent death of my father, I especially related to the lesson about learning from your father. I also enjoyed many of the vignettes with which illustrates his points. Still, I found it unbearably sad that a man of almost 70 is just now writing a book about lessons that many of us learn as we go along. It seems a bit simplistic to preach that the best thing that could happen (as it did for him) was to get a part time job at Starbucks and live in a minimalist apartment with only plastic furnishings. It goes unsaid but presumably his five children were either old enough to be self supporting or, in the case of the youngest, a product of the affair, mostly supported by someone else. I would have preferred a more complete disclosure of the downside of his circumstances but I admit that would dilute his message of giving up stuff in order to find true happiness.

Another aspect of Gill’s book which I found distressing was the fact that he clearly hasn’t let go of the past. If the past and his wealthy upbringing, attendance at Yale, knowing the right people and having a high-powered advertising position were no longer an important part of his life then, it seems to me, he wouldn’t have to mention Yale almost constantly, point out that his father and grandfather were both very important wealthy people and that the Marine Corps slogan “a few good men” was his creation, among many others.

A name dropper to the end, Gill is happy to point out that Tom Hanks is involved in a movie deal on his first book and he is friendly with Michael J. Fox as a result of that publication. Clearly, the majority of his current success is as a writer so it’s a bit disingenuous of Gill to pretend that by working part-time at Starbucks, as he has, we’ll unlock the secret to true happiness. While there were many entertaining aspects of this book, I think many of us already know Gill's secrets of "saving your own life".

I won this book, which was exciting! I was hoping to like it as much as "How Starbucks Saved My Life," but Michael Gates Gill is just boring as he drones on and on about his "priveleged" past and his previous life of "status" and "power." Just the fact that any of that was ever important to him sort of discredits him as a role model or as a relevant or sincere inspiration to people.

His ideas are nice in theory, but they don't ring true. Instead of feeling motivated and hopeful, I felt bored and...more

I have two criteria for rating Self Help books:

How many quotes did I make note of to ponder further?
Did it make me cry?

How to Save Your Own Life: 15 Lessons on Finding Hope in Unexpected Places, by Michael Gates Gill, scored high on both criteria.

I have fifteen quote markers. And I cried not once, but three or four times. Granted, I am perimenopausal and I cry during commercials, but four times for a 175 page book is saying something.

He was born into a life of privilege and being in the Yale crowd, pretty much given his job and that was that. In one fail swoop -- he loses his job, his marriage, has a child outside of his marriage, and is diagnosed with a brain tumor. I mean...wow. And sometimes I think I have it hard! Down and out, he manages to get a job at Starbucks and his eyes are opened to a world where deadlines and blackberries are out, and being happy and helpful are in.

Honestly, the first two chapters were the best ones for me. For some strange reason, this book fell into my lap at the best time. Right now, my husband and I are contemplating a lot of changes. My husband has a master's degree in mechanical engineering and after working in the field for some years, he just has never enjoyed it and usually just plain hates it. So he's thinking about going back to school for something he actually wants to do. How scary but exciting! Actually, yesterday he put in his two weeks at work.

We are also in the middle of trying to move out of our apartment, even though our lease isn't up until this next summer. I've been pretty sick for about a year now with allergies and eczema. My doctor thought it was a food allergy but I am convinced now that it is due to a ton of mold in our apartment. I didn't have proof though until I pulled our Christmas tree box down from our closet and it was stuck to a ton of mold on the wall. Yeah. That is disgusting. So we are changing it. Getting out so we can get healthy and happy.

So when Gill wrote that if you are less than thrilled about what you are doing...change it!! -- well, that just spoke right to me. Don't wait until something drastic, like a brain tumor, makes you change how you live. We decided that while it's extremely scary to change our life to be happy, it's definitely more scary to stay where we are. One of his chapters or "lessons" is "Leap...With Faith", and that is just what we are going to do.

The rest of the book was, I thought, a nice memoir-ish about what Michael Gates Gill has been through and what he's learned. I especially enjoyed the sections on learning from your father and mother. His father was a writer for The New Yorker and just seemed like such a character. Even though his father passed away a few years ago, he is still continuing to learn from his example. I loved that. My husband and I both lost our fathers to cancer but I still think my father was an amazing example of what a husband and father should be. And our moms, well, they are just amazing ladies.

I don't know what I would have thought about this book had I not been in this place in my life. All I know is that I am glad I read it when I did.(less)

The little book contains many of the life lessons Michael Gill learned after losing a high-powered advertising job, his marriage and his pala palatial home and ending up working at Starbucks. Since I live a fairly simple life, I did not find the book helpful, but for anyone who lives beyond their means, is more concerned about appearances than relationships, or who feels their job and social status define him or her, this would be a valuable read.

A follow up to Gill's "How Starbucks Saved My Life"- his family stories were the best and most interesting parts of his tale. A fascinating pair of parents for sure. His life lessons were pretty straightforward retellings of his prior book's lessons. All in all, a good message but not a particularly deep read.

If I had to rely on this book and only this book to save my life...oy, would I be dead right now. I will say that the chapter on Leaping with Faith was useful, but the rest of them struggled. I'm already depressed, I don't need to read about how this guy's parents died, or that he got divorced. I'm glad he made it through all that and has found a much better life, but I'm still processing everything, and these parts were less than helpful...
