'A part of all those people who helped me along the way can be found in everything I have done and continue to do. I had some great teachers - and I listened to what they had to say.' - Michael Jordan A global icon in sports, style and business, Michael Jordan is famous for his unrivalled athletic ability, his fierce determination, and his grace under pressure. In DRIVEN FROM WITHIN, he makes it clear that his phenomenal success is thanks in large part to the teachers, mentors and friends who have guided him throughout his life. Here is a book about the power of collaboration and teamwork, the energy that is released when people share their gifts and hard-won knowledge. With almost two million copies of his three previous books in print, Michael Jordan has proven himself to be as strong a performer in bookstores as he is on the court. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully designed, this is Michael Jordan's most intimate book to date. Organized around the qualities that Jordan demonstrates in his own life and that he looks for in others - qualities like authenticity, integrity, passion and commitment - DRIVEN FROM WITHIN is an inspiring record of an extraordinary life.

What Customers Say About Driven from Within:

Good book, nothing explosive or amazing but overall very interesting. I would rank other books about/by Jordan as more informative and entertaining than this one, but would still recommend this for the right price.
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.
There are a lot of bits and pieces on MJ here from his input to the Air Jordan sneaker lines to his work ethic and attitudes toward a variety of challenges in life. His thoughts are laid out plainly as MJ himself. One might not be able to get to know a person through a book, but this is a pretty good attempt. Beautiful photography also comes with the book, and a nice pictorial archive of various aspects of MJ's life and brand.
If you are looking for a book to learn something about MJ, this one is the right choice.
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.
