Everybody should have this book in its personal collection. Less about sport and more about life and life lessons it is the kind of book that can change your life. Really I can't say enough good things about this book. It has a wisdom, a decency, a noble depth to its principles something that is in short supply in life nowadays. It has so much wisdom in it that you may feel compelled to take notes and re-read passages so you don't miss anything. Yes it is that good and I can't remember in a long time a book more worth of this time and effort. John Wooden has more than a spark of genius and his lessons about leadership are something that nobody can afford to miss. This book will make a difference in your life if you read it - and if you read it you will now what I mean. Read this book, read this book, read this book.Read full review
I bought this book because, after skimming through my brother's copy, I realized that I was reading words of a genius. John Wooden, arguably the best sports coach of all time, shares his thoughts on leadership and what he has to say will blow your mind. His philosophies on winning and losing, emotion and intensity, treatment of followers, etc. are often in conflict with the philosophies of the thousands of leaders who desperately try to duplicate his success. His views on leadership often seem paradoxical to 21st century leaders. One of the winningest coaches in sports never emphasized winning. Anyone who is a leader in a competitive environment needs to read this book. It could be that our approach to achieving success is terribly flawed at a very basic level.
I like how it is easy to read. I like the overall message of character building and becoming an overall well-rounded person. I decided to buy it because I met John Wooden, we ate breakfast at the same diner for years, he died recently. I was in a bookstore and I saw his book on an endcap shelf and I picked it up. I read a couple pages and liked it so I ordered it online for the better price.
