Ever since the story of his transformation from homeless, single father to millionaire became known the world over, Chris Gardner - whose life story both inspired the movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" and became a number 1 "New York Times" bestseller by the same name - has been inundated with two questions: 'How did you do it?' and 'How can I do it too?'. Gardner's power-packed, transformational reply is the basis of this long anticipated book. If you've had the rug pulled out from under you, or have been dealing with the loss of a home or a job, a financial crisis, or simply can't find the motivation to pursue new challenges, "Start Where You Are" abounds with life lessons that offer hope and provide a road map for starting anew. Accessible and inspirational, this is also the book for anyone ready to launch a personal or professional undertaking, or break generational cycles that hem in their potential.
