Eleven Rings. Signed by Phil Jackson. First Edition, First Printing. Penguin. New York, 2013.

Phil Jackson is one of the greatest coaches of all time. He was an NBA player for twelve seasons and won two championships with the New York Knicks, but his legacy is truly tied to his coaching. He was the head coach of the Chicago Bulls from 1989 to 1998. They won six championships. Jackson went on to coach the Los Angeles Lakers from 1999 to 2011. They won five championships. His eleven NBA championships is the most of any head coach in history. He also holds the record for most playoff wins of any head coach. In Eleven Rings: The Soul of Success, Jackson recounts his childhood, his earliest experiences in the NBA, and his illustrious coaching career. While the work has narrative elements, many of its short chapters are actually essays on Jackson’s coaching and life philosophies. The work reveals much about his talent for leading exceptional players and steering teams to greatness. It is also an effective self-help book, a guide to success and mindfulness in life.
