The Pursuit of Happyness by Chris Gardner, Mim Eichler Rivas, Quincy Troupe (2006, Paperback)

Excellent book! Well written to definitely hold your attention. Much more detail than the movie. Reading about some of Chris's struggles as a child and young adult helps to clarify his determination. Sad to say though, Chris documents the childhood of many African Americans. My husband went to hear Chris Gardener speak and reports that he is a dynamic speaker and very good storyteller.

this is a true story that inspire regulaer people to get out of thier strugle, and think positive, and belive that the future will always be better.

i bought the book, because i listen to one of chris Garvner interview, and i like it.also i watch the movie and thought that the book will be much bette because of the detailles that are not montioned in the movie.

I absolutely LOVED the book, and was actually sorry for it to end. It was not quite the same as the film, but much better because it went much more in depth into his life, rather than explore only a small piece as the movie did. There were pivotal events that occured that became significant factors in why/how he became successful, things that drove him to be persistant and tremendous odds that he overcame that were explained only in the book. It was written in a very personal way, which made me as the reader feel a certain level of endearment to Chris.

Chris Gardner is a wonderful inspiration, and his story of determination, self-motivation, courage and strength is a true example of what can be accomplished by anyone if they really want better than the situation they were born into. I highly recommend it!

I loved the story--how he came from nothing and beat the odds. However, I am not partial to the language or the explicit documentation of his s*x life. I thought the book could have been inspirational and beneficial without all of that. Otherwise, an excellent story about an amazing man.

This product was very good the paper back was not damaged at all. No delay and on the shipping. Thanks for the opportunity.

i bought this book for my friend. first i thought this is an used book becuz the prize was so low. then i realize its new, so i bought it. good deal

The book was in the same condition the seller said and it was sent in a timely manner. I appreciate it!

This is a great story of a man's determination to make a better life fo himself. The first third of the book is about his life as a child, very depressing. Then, the book picks up and is hard to put down. Great book. The movie based on this book, is only about 30 pages of the book. Read the book first, then see the movie.
