Chip Gaines is well known as a TV star (HGTV's Fixer Upper), renovation expert, husband to Joanna, and father of 4 in Waco, Texas. But long before the world took notice, Chip was a serial entrepreneur who was always ready for the next challenge, even if it didn't quite work out as planned. Whether it was buying a neighborhood laundromat or talking a bank into a loan for some equipment to start a lawn-mowing service, Chip always knew that the most important thing was to take that first step. We walk alongside him as he relives some of his craziest antics and the lessons learned along the way. His mentors taught him to never give up and his family showed him what it meant to always have a positive attitude despite your circumstances. Throw in a natural daredevil personality and a willingness to do (or eat!) just about anything, and you have the life and daily activity of Chip Gaines.… (altro)

DNF. I admire that he went out there and put his memories on paper, and tried to convey large lessons that I--the reader--could take from some of them. But I just couldn't. I tried. I couldn't.

Chip Gaines ist ein erfolgreicher Mensch. Gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Joanna betreibt er in Waco/Texas das Unternehmen Magnolia, das durchaus geschmackvolle Accessoires und Inneneinrichtung verkauft und für Kunden alte Häuser schön her- und einrichtet. Zudem haben sie mittlerweile auch ein Café vor Ort.

USA-weit berühmt geworden sind die beiden mit der Reality-TV Serie "Fixer Upper", die ich zufällig entdeckt habe und die ich sehr mag. Joanna und Chips richten darin alte Häuser für Kunden neu her, auf eine sehr nette und ansprechende Weise. Die Serie war extrem erfolgreich, und deshalb nur macht es überhaupt Sinn, dass Chip Gaines in einem Buch über sein Leben erzählt.

Das Buch ist nett geschrieben und man lernt viel über Chips Aspiration, sein Ethos und seine Ideale, die m.E. darüber hinausgehen, einfach nur ein erfolgreicher Unternehmer zu sein. Für ihn ist seine Arbeit ein Weg, die Welt jeden Tag ein Stück besser zu machen.

Insgesamt mag ich das. Vieles finde durchaus inspirierend, manches ein bisschen zu Pathos-beladen, gute Gedanken, aber nicht allzu tiefgründig. Das würde auch nicht zu ihm und seiner "Go get em"-Message passen. Dass er einen großen Teil seiner Kraft wohl aus dem Glauben zieht, den anderen Teil aus seiner Beziehung zu Joanna mit ihren gemeinsamen vier Kindern, ist respektabel und durchzieht den ganzen Text, aber ohne jeden moralischen Unterton. Im Gegenteil, der tolerante, liberale Geist, der sich in dem Buch ausdrückt, macht Chip Gaines recht sympathisch.

Wirklich neue oder tiefe Einsichten darf man sich davon nicht erwarten, aber als Easy Read fürs Wochenende gut geeignet. ( )
