A legendary NBA player and beloved teammate shares his hard-earned
wisdom about finding your true purpose and mastering your inner
game, whatever that game might be. Chris Bosh is on any list of the
Top 100 NBA players of all time--an eleven-time All Star, two-time
Finals winner, Olympic gold medalist, and currently the league's
Global Ambassador. Always an uncommonly philosophical NBA star, he
found himself needing all the mindfulness he could muster in 2017,
when his career was cut short at its prime by a freak medical
condition. Suddenly, he was thrown out of the work that had given
so much more than just a livelihood, and had to think deeply about
his identity in the world. This game had taught him so much; what
could he make of it all? Out of that place of deep reflection has
emerged an uncommon book for a retired superstar to write. While it
has the best elements of a memoir--the portraits of the great
players and coaches, from LeBron and Kobe to Pat Riley and Coach K,
and the accounts of extraordinary competitive moments--it is really
a wisdom book, a blend of The Inner Game of Tennis, Wynton
Marsalis's To a Young Jazz Musician, and Rilke's Letters to a Young
Poet. It is rich with insight about basketball, but even richer
with insight about life. It's a book about finding a purpose that
is deep and real, not shallow and external, and about navigating
success and failure as the twin mirages they are--pushing past
fear, past ego, past fatigue to the pure flow of sustained
accomplishment in a mesh with teammates who have given themselves
to the same thing. Chris Bosh found that flow, and sustained it at
the highest level. He misses basketball keenly still, but he has no
regrets. Deep, honest, unflinching, this book is his friend's hand
up to those coming up behind, whatever their pursuit might be.
No one knows the dynamics of a winning team better than Pat Riley,
one of pro basketball's most successful coaches. The Winner Within
is his game plan for team players in every aspect of life:
business, family, or sports. Riley uses his own examples of
success--in and out of sports--to show how any group can blend its
talents to create lasting success.
