The Pursuit of Happyness
by Chris Gardner

Description:

Abridged CD Audiobook
Read by Andre Blake

Captured in a major motion picture starring Will Smith, The Pursuit of Happiness is the inspiring story of the charismatic Chris Gardner – now an influential entrepreneur whose road to success was anything but easy.

Growing up with an abusive stepfather who refrained from beating his mother only to remind him that his daddy had abandoned him, Chris Gardner made himself a promise. I‘ll never leave my children. It‘s a promise he kept despite a sea of setbacks that would have broken the spirit of any ordinary man. In this painfully honest yet hopeful memoir, we see Gardner go from the highs of landing a job as a Wall Street apprentice at one of the country‘s toniest firms to the lows of a pink slip that left him suddenly jobless, unable to afford rent or daycare at the better of the neighborhood preschools, from the highs of marital bliss to the nadir of being hopeless with a baby in tow. Moving from one motel to another and then finally to a shelter, Gardner never gave into despair but chose, instead, to persevere, even when he and his son found themselves sleeping in the bathrooms of the city‘s subway system.
