This book is great reading for Those Who loose faith in modern day sports and society in general. For once, you hear someone talk about teamwork, selflessness, sacrifice, positive attitude, etc. These are foreign concepts to most of today's NBA stars, but are what success is really all about. I therefore applaud Phil Jackson for daring to be different. Seeing things differently is Often at the core of many successes. In this case, its using the power of the mind and selfless attitudes are indeed Positioned as keys to taking you to the top. These ideas transcend basketball and make for good reading for anyone. I Only Wish Their were more "original" with a conscience like Phil Jackson.
