Morals within
This book focused very much on morals much like one would see in fables or tales of the values of determination, passion, etc.If you are a person who loves the more spiritual side of life then this book may appeal to you. It also shows a lot on where mental toughness gets you as well as some of Michael Jordan's day-to-day schedule of staying in top shape for his games. I especially liked how he talked about days where he didn't feel like doing much, and how he daily looked for something to keep himself motivated. Finally, he has interesting parents and Michael- just like his mother and father is an extremely intense personality, and the most competitive one around!

Real Title = Jordan's Relationship With Nike !
This book has 200 pages more than half are pictures and clip art and photos (50%) The rest of the book (40%) is Michaels relationship with some Nike Folks, and 10% reflects on the title "driven from with in". This book is not written by Michael and only quotes are really described. It's mainly from a perspective of the nike brand and how they worked with him to create the Jordan shoes. Nothing really to do with in, it was over priced and I Recommends Phil's book 11 rings which was a real book versus this garbage! Holler back Michael Or he's staff hope to hear back!! If you can ! Do not buy!!

Excellent book in the condition it was described to be.
It is great to be able to purchase books on Michael Jordan and not pay outrageous amounts (hmm, like the shoes). Amazon makes the process very pleasant by dealing with sellers like these folks. The book was in great condition, exactly as described and it arrived in a timely manner. The content is remarkable, everything one might want to know on what made Jordan rise above all others. At 205 pages, it is a bit larger than most hardcover editions without being a full sized coffee table edition. It contains numerous illustrations and photgraphs. It will look wonderful alongside my 'Cigar Aficionado' Jordan cover edition, something eBooks could never do...

Not as advertised
I bought it as used like new. With dust only. No writings on it. It arrived with the front part damaged and with a writing in page 1. I need to read it all to see if there is no more writings.Product good for reading but definitely no for collection in this condition.i will need to buy from a different source.

Magnificent
This is an outstanding book in two ways. It covers branding and building a product but it also deals with motivation.The book goes into great detail about MJ and his strong desire to have a product that reflected him. His resistance of corporate input to insist his shoes be to his liking...and his success in this.It is also filled with quotes about what helped make Michael so good in basketball.A wonderful insightful, motivational book.

Disappointing
For the reviewer who stated that this is just one long, drawn-out ad for Brand Jordan - he is absolutely correct.Jordan and Co. talk more about the creation of his shoes (and his clothing line) more than he does about what made him his fame and fortune in the first place - his sterling basketball career.Without Jordan dominating on the court, and winning six NBA titles, these shoes would never be the big sellers that they are - thus not allowing Michael to justify speaking of the process of making them. Why would shoes from a sub-par player have much appeal?Just as the title states - extremely disappointing.

Over PRICED!
Book over priced and used, it had a 50% off sticker on the cover. Think I will return.

Amazing
Makes me think about my life and the approach i should take going forward. Failure should never be your setback, instead it should be your driving force.

interesting and surprising
This book was a great read and I found if very interesting despite that fact that if was no what I was expecting. Away from traditional autobiography this book concentrates on Michaels values and the Jordan Brand rather than being a blow by blow of his life and its successes. The book has a lot of import from people import to Michael's story which also makes it very interesting.

Husband loves it
My husband loves this book. He loves Michael Jordan and really wanted his biography. Was so glad that I found this used one, got it him for Christmas. As a devout basketball fan and Christian pastor he finds the illustrations very useful for preaching.
