Reviews

"By offering a detailed account of how Starbucks captured the psyche of its audience, Schultz reveals a purely American truism: If you can capture the imagination of your audience, you have a winner."--USA Today

"For entrepreneurs, managers, and fans of Starbucks coffee, Pour Your Heart Into It is the definitive chronicle of how a curling-edge company built a worldwide reputation through retail by leading with its heart."--Business Times

"It is hard to imagine a more satisfying brew than this memoir."--Publishers Weekly

Schultz, chairman and CEO of Starbucks, and writer-researcher Yang trace the growth and development of Starbucks from a single store in Seattle, which in 1973 sold only dark-roasted coffee beans, to the international business it has become today. Schultz does not conceal his passion for good coffee or for his company. His initial goals were to introduce Americans to really fine coffee, provide people with a "third place" to gather, and treat his employees with dignity. The extent to which he succeeded and the obstacles encountered along the way are the subjects he tackles here. This is not, in the strictest sense, a how-to book despite its considerable detail but more a motivational title. Recommended for large public libraries.‘Joseph C. Toschik, Half Moon Bay P.L., Cal.
