Sacred Hoops: Spiritual Lessons of a Hardwood Warrior
Eleven years ago, Phil Jackson was the triumphant head coach of the Chicago Bulls, known for his Zen approach to the game. He hadn’t yet moved to the Los Angeles Lakers, with whom he would bring his total to an astounding 11 NBA titles. In his thought-provoking memoir, he revealed how he directs his players to act with a clear mind — not thinking, just doing; to respect the enemy and be aggressive without anger or violence; to live in the moment and stay calmly focused in the midst of chaos; to put the “me” in service of the “we” — all lessons applicable to any person’s life, not just a professional basketball player’s. This inspiring book went on to sell more than 400,000 copies.
