Why Phil Jackson Needs 'The Last Dance' - The New York Times

Something different for paid subscribers today: The three most impactful things I learned reading Phil Jackson’s book, Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success.

I don’t care what line of work you’re in, I think we can all take something from this book.

Phil Jackson, for those of you who aren’t aware, was an NBA coach that won eleven championships. Six for the Bulls, five for the Lakers, and that doesn’t even include the two he won while playing for the Knicks in the 70’s. Look at this stache, he was a legend!

If you’re in my age bracket, you may associate him with one of these guys:

At any rate, this book is awesome, let’s get into it.
