5.0 out of 5 starsYou need this book too!
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019
Wonderful Book! Coach Wooden was a mane of integrity. I first learned about this book when my daughter came home from school talking about friendship. I asked her where did she hear such a wonderful explantation about what a friend is and how to be a friend, she said her coach in athletics had this book and every Friday they have a character building lesson from it. That's all it took for me to reach out to my kids coach and ask for the title. I use this book in my class to teach character building lessons and I use it at church in our youth group.

2.0 out of 5 starsDO NOT Buy this book unless you are looking for a daily christian devotional...that's what this really is.
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2017
This is NOT a typical John Wooden book. It's a really a daily devotional. It's a Jay Carty book with a little John Wooden. DO NOT buy this book if you are not expecting to read it as a devotional with scriptures, bible verses, homework assignments, etc. I was disappointed in the book. Waste of my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Success is about the achievement of self not results
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2017

It would be easy to say this book is where sports analogies meets scriptural verse but it's not. As Wooden consistently stresses, the pursuit of results in any sport, game or the game of life for that matter is not defined by the score, winning or other such measures. It's about the achievement of your best self, in every endeavour, from that success is assured. A simple read that makes the point beautifully. Wooden like his decades long marriage & even longer life was simply focused on the dedication to being his best, "and let the results take care of themselves."

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read couldn't put it down

Coach Wooden is the ultimate principle architect. His blueprint for life was developed and refined over a life time. He laid a solid foundation of principles that will support all the other principles. The foundation principles are values that if implemented will set the example and attract others to follow your leadership. The second level are principles of self discipline that when demonstrated consistently show others you are a person who is in control of theirself. The third level are principles of both ability and camaraderie that draw individuals into a close knit team. The fourth level are the keys to the cap stone of competitive greatness. These two building blocks are crucial to individual success and when cultivated are displayed outwardly as sure sign of success. Like any great architect Coach included the mortar that is a necessity to hold the principles together. These mortar principles hold the block principles together because they incorporate deep inner seated values that intertwine and cause the block principles to withstand the test of time.

Reading this now. Worth ever minute invested. The definition of success is as clear and within my control as any definition I've ever read. The building blocks and mortar are the components of the excellence we seek from ourselves. Study of these components can only lead to better character and performance within the team.

Absolutely love this book. It's spiritually based and has helped me with relationships, job, and so many other areas in my life. A good Bible study tool since it offers scriptures to read at the end of each section. More than I expected to get out of this book. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book for both young and adults
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2007

I first heard of this book from a trainer in Mexico. It did not take me more than 30 minutes into reading to understand how valuable this book is towards self-development. It is easy to read and it's very convincing how each element in his building blocks have a directly impact on our lives. I use it to train adults and children with a slightly different approach but always giving credit to John Wooden and his book.

For those who are Christians, there is a segment at the end of each block with verses from the Bible for them to meditate on. I, personally, find it very useful. For those who are not Christians, they can simply ignore it as every element towards achieving success has a very logical rationale to it and it's spiritual beliefs is largely similar in other religions.

It's an excellent way to keep ourselves on track in everything that we do.

I've always admired Coach Wooden for being a wonderful human being within himself and lived to share how to get there with others. His heart, mind, body and soul truly in sync, which I hope to one day be. Pyramid of Success is, what I feel, the best pyramid to follow and one day get to the top and pass it on!
