THE POWER OF NEGATIVE THINKING An Unconventional Approach to Achieving Positive Results

Dick Hill’s reportorial tone is perfect for these performance tips from a reputed bad boy of college basketball. Hill’s upbeat enunciation is highly entertaining. With his spot-on phrasing and uncanny ability to tap into Coach K’s smart-aleck personality, he makes this an audio that never gets old. The book is full of stories and strategies for winning any type of competition. Among many memorable analogies, Knight says preparing for success is like carving a sculpture —removing the mistakes and weaknesses so that what’s left is the winning figure (or skills) you’re striving for. His insights and writing have a satisfying humanitarian tone, which seems at odds with his hot-head reputation, but it serves to remind us that the best leaders care about their team members’ growth as much as they care about winning.
