"Our culture needs to see examples. You can hear about how somebody played, or read about the best way to achieve success, but people need to see examples. Until they see, they won't do."
MJ was one of the greatest basketball players to play the game, and his trademark Air Jordans have made him one of the richest athletes to play any sport. From reading this book, you get the impression that none of his success has to do with lucky breaks. He sets goals that get bigger and bigger with each success. His dress and the way he carries himself is always impeccable. His confidence is unbreakable. His work ethic is unparalleled. His ability to overcome obstacles is uncanny. He leads by example. He competes at a high level at all times, believing that his successes can be attributed more to what he does when no one's watching him versus what he does in front of a national television audience. "Driven from Within" is more than a book about a famous basketball player; it encourages readers to apply Jordan's level of drive to their approach to daily life and to whatever pursuits they feel passionate about.
