Do. The. Work.
"A self-help memoir based on the author's life and NBA career (in letter form)"-- Provided by publisher.
Bosh had his playing days cut short at their prime by a freak medical condition. Forced to reckon with how to find meaning to carry forward, he found himself looking back over his path, from a teenager in Dallas who balanced basketball with the high school robotics club to the pinnacle of the NBA and beyond. He saw that his important lessons weren't about basketball so much as the inner game of success: right attitude, right commitment, right flow within a team. Here he shares that journey, giving us a fascinating view from the inside of what greatness feels like and what it takes, formulated as a series of letters to younger people coming up and to all wisdom seekers. -- adapted from jacket
