      abstract = {In his fifties, Michael Gates Gill had it all: a big  house, a loving family, and a six-figure salary. By sixty,  he had lost everything: downsized at work, divorced at  home, and diagnosed with a slow-growing brain tumor, Gill  had no money, no insurance, and no prospects. He took a job  at Starbucks, and for the first time in his life, he was a  minority--the only older white guy working with a team of  young African-Americans. He was forced to acknowledge his  prejudices and admit that his new job was hard. And his  younger coworkers, despite half the education and twice the  personal difficulties, were running circles around him.  Crossing over the Starbucks bar was the beginning of a  transformation that cracked his world wide open. When all  of his defenses and the armor of entitlement had been  stripped away, a humbler, happier and gentler man  remained.--From publisher description.},
