Book Reviews of The Winners Manual
Book Review: The Sweater Vest does a good job!
Summary: 4 Stars
Going through the free books again I saw a book by Jim Tressel called Winner's Manual. I got a little excited because I am a big Ohio State fan and I have always respected Jim Tressel (I know recently he has had some trouble, but I still stick by him).
As far as the book goes it was decent. The idea behind the book is that all Ohio State players receive a winner's manual of their own filled with inspirational thoughts and information on how to be the best person that they can be in all aspects of life, not just sports. This book is based on that but shortened down, apparently quite a bit.
There were quite a few parts of this book that really hit me. It is a generic manual on how to retrain your brain to what is important in life like family and faith. There wasn't anything I have not heard before, but it doesn't hurt to hear those things again.
My biggest complaint is that it seamed to repeat itself quite a bit and was a little longer than I would have liked. I read this one a while ago, so the details have left me a bit, but don't be scared away from it if you do not like sports. Yeah there are a lot of sport references, but the inspirational ideas are applicable to all walks of life. The best part of the book everyone can enjoy are the quotes that are spread out throughout the book.
If you like my review and want to read more of them I have a blog chronicaling my first year with my Kindle. I would love your suggestions and comments. Check out my profile for the website.
