You Play to Win the Game

This book deserves a lot more credit than it is recieving here. Yes, Edwards does speak a lot about periods of success from his lifetime, but I do not believe for one moment that he is doing it with any attention to boast his successes. As great a coach as he has been he does deserve some credit. Still, the book is about finding success, yes, winning. He lays out an excellent "map" to building success in life that is applicable to any situation, and he does it through the periods of a football game (before, 1st quarter, etc.). I was simply reading this for fun and ended up taking notes and quotes down throughout the whole book. This is a great help for anyone looking to improve who they are as an individual and in the direction of building success!

So far, so good. I had read that this was a "self-promoting" book by Herm Edwards. I guess I'm not sure how one can write a book about life experience they've gained without talking about ones self. I think he has insight on people skills and how to influence people. I saw a reference to John Maxwell, a leading leadership skills teacher, in his book. That tells me he's also a student of leadership skills. In my opinion, leadership can be learned, but it comes more naturally to some than others. Herm Edwards seems to be a natural...buy the book if your at all curious.

This book is so motivational and inspiring. I loved it. Being in a leadership postion it has helped me to focus and help me keep my employees focused on the job at hand. I recommed this book to everyone in a leadership role. Terrific book.
