Product Description:


The astounding yet true rags-to-riches saga of a homeless father who raised and cared for his son on the mean streets of San Francisco and went on to become a crown prince of Wall Street



At the age of twenty, Milwaukee native Chris Gardner, just out of the Navy, arrived in San Francisco to pursue a promising career in medicine. Considered a prodigy in scientific research, 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 than Gardner found himself caught in a web of incredibly challenging circumstances that left him as part of the city's working homeless and with a 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 among shelters, "HO-tels," soup lines, and even sleeping in the public restroom of a subway station.



Never giving in to despair, Gardner made an astonishing transformation from being part of the city's invisible poor to being a powerful player in its financial district.



More than a memoir of Gardner's financial success, this is the story of a man who breaks his own family's cycle of men abandoning their children. Mythic, triumphant, and unstintingly honest, The Pursuit of Happyness conjures heroes like Horatio Alger and Antwone Fisher, and appeals to the very essence of the American Dream.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The true quintessential American Success Story of a man who persevered and overcame every imaginable obstacle.
The true quintessential American Success Story of a man who persevered and overcame every imaginable obstacle.

It is impossible to read this book without being inspired and without tears of inspiration and triumph in the words of Chris Gardner and how he succeeded despite every possible reason and circumstance that would stop the strongest and most ordinary of men.

This book is the best complement to the film if you're hungry for more about how Mr. Gardner achieved and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great book
I have to read this book for class, but it's sooo good I don't even mind it. Great story



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A book that teaches hope, faith, and love
This book was very motivational and taught me a great lesson in humility, perserverace, and hope. I would recommend to everyone!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Strong Voice - Honest and Bold
I have read a few reviews that where readers preferred the Disneyfied movie to the strong and honest look at a real human life that Chris Gardner exposits in his book. That's a bit sad. I find his honesty refreshing and courageous in a world where many look askance on the rougher edges of our humanness while ignoring the courage it takes to reveal warts.

This book inspired me and is about to change my life. It is the portrait of a man who never succumbed to self pity in spite of many ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Not as good as the movie it inspired, but inspiring in its own right
If you're interested in reading the book because you saw and loved the movie, you should be forewarned that you will find the effect of the movie somewhat diluted here, and also that the movie's version of events matches in very few particulars the actual events of his life as recorded in his autobiography.

That said, the book provides much more background about Chris Gardner's life, and it is a fascinating and ultimately triumphant story--and, in the latter part of the story, his commitment ... Read More
