This superbly written book is packed with gems, one after another, each one seemingly brighter than the one before. I know its a clich to say I couldnt put it down, but I couldnt. Invest five minutes in it and before you know it an hour will have gone by. And when you finish the book, youll find yourself wishing there were 14, 15, or 16 keys to winning, instead of 12.

I dont usually buy into motivational-type books, for I believe each team and each individual needs separate motivation, and it is my job to figure out what that is. However, by about page three of Extreme Winning , I had my highlighter out and was taking notes. This book will help me today, tomorrow, and the rest of my career.
