Misleading

Under the information about the book, it says it's 79 pages. Its 39. Someone can't read or it was mislabeled. I am very disappointed.

I cant accept no trying

Great book! Very simple and straight to the point. It was very interesting how Jordan describe the fear. According him it is an illusion that become an obstacle to reach the another level. Also, considering the succeess that Jornan has had the book is very motivational.

Elevating

This is quite possibly the single most inspiring work ever written by man, outside of the holy word of God. This book is about competition, and how even the best sometimes really have to work to succeed. Michael Jordan is the best basketball player to ever step onto the court, and even after everything he has been awarded, everything people have said about him, he is still underrated. This book is not so much about basketball, though his examples come from that walk of life. It is about picking yourself up, and making something of yourself, and just as the title explains, never quitting.

Read it, try it, the book worth it

As all the books of "search the personal excellence" you have to try it to see if it's true, of course not everybody could try this and other books of this kind because all the people are different.The advantage of this book among the others of the same theme is that you can read this book in 20 minutes or less, is easy to read because it doesn't have examples on how could you solve this or that problem, and it has a strong message in every chapter, if you just try to do one or two of these messages you can be sure that your life could change.

Makes me think i can fly!!!!!!!

This is the most inspirational book i have ever read....MJ rockz!!!!!

amazing!

It tells goals you should have in your life. But Michael Jorden says it in his own neat way! Boy, if it was'nt out of print right now I'd have ordered 10 copies or more of the book to give to realitives and friends.
