The inside story of one of basketball's most legendary and game-changing figures
A New York Times bestseller
During his storied career as head coach of the Chicago Bulls and Los Angeles Lakers, Phil Jackson won more championships than any coach in the history of professional sports. Even more important, he succeeded in never wavering from coaching his way, from a place of deep values. Jackson was tagged as the “Zen master” half in jest by sportswriters, but the nickname speaks to an important truth: this is a coach who inspired, not goaded; who led by awakening and challenging the better angels of his players’ nature, not their egos, fear, or greed.
This is the story of a preacher’s kid from North Dakota who grew up to be one of the most innovative leaders of our time. In his quest to reinvent himself, Jackson explored everything from humanistic psychology and Native American philosophy to Zen meditation. In the process, he developed a new approach to leadership based on freedom, authenticity, and selfless teamwork that turned the hypercompetitive world of professional sports on its head.
In Eleven Rings, Jackson candidly describes how he:
���•� Learned the secrets of mindfulness and team chemistry while playing for the champion New York Knicks in the 1970s
���•� Managed Michael Jordan, the greatest player in the world, and got him to embrace selflessness, even if it meant losing a scoring title
���•� Forged successful teams out of players of varying abilities by getting them to trust one another and perform in sync
���•� Inspired Dennis Rodman and other “uncoachable” personalities to devote themselves to something larger than themselves
���•� Transformed Kobe Bryant from a rebellious teenager into a mature leader of a championship team.
Eleven times, Jackson led his teams to the ultimate goal: the NBA championship—six times with the Chicago Bulls and five times with the Los Angeles Lakers. We all know the legendary stars on those teams, or think we do. What Eleven Rings shows us, however, is that when it comes to the most important lessons, we don’t know very much at all. This book is full of revelations: about fascinating personalities and their drive to win; about the wellsprings of motivation and competition at the highest levels; and about what it takes to bring out the best in ourselves and others.

From Booklist
Phil Jackson won an unprecedented 11 championship rings as an NBA coach (6 with the Chicago Bulls and 5 with the Los Angeles Lakers). He begins this memoir with a brief exploration of his childhood as the son of two practicing ministers, an experience that laid the foundation for his approach to coaching. As a young man, Jackson realized he couldn’t accept his parents’ faith, but he explored any number of religions and consciousness-raising movements to satisfy his spiritual yearnings. To a casual fan, meditation, Buddhism, and Native American spirituality may seem an odd mix of resources with which to motivate highly paid, often egocentric professional athletes. Jackson, however, made it work, combining sincerity with a message of teamwork and trust; of course, a healthy dose of basketball acumen didn’t hurt, either. Jackson’s story, augmented by behind-the-scenes anecdotes involving Michael, Shaq, Kobe, and others, makes for great reading. Hoop fans: read this alongside Bob Knight’s recent The Power of Negative Thinking (2013) and then determine which coaching style would motivate you more and improve your life outside of basketball. --Wes Lukowsky
Review
"Through candor and comprehensiveness, Jackson writes a convincing revisionist take, in which he emerges as an excellent coach...highly readable...reflects Jackson’s polymathy."—The New York Times Book Review
"Part sports memoir, part New Age spirit quest, part pseudo-management tract...But the primary thing with Jackson — as with all the old bards, who were also known for repeating themselves — is the voice."—Sam Anderson, The New York Times Magazine
"The legendary Bulls and Lakers leader's new book finally enlightened me to Jackson's lifelong dedication to the game."—The Atlantic
"He tells you at different times to see beyond what is seen and to hear the unheard...applicable to groups in any walk of life."—The Bleacher Report

Great read whether you're a sports lover or not!
By Sue Ellen
As a mom who spent 12+ years watching my daughter play volleyball, basketball, and throw discus/shot put, I have seen my share of coaching styles. Some were awesome, some should have been fired, one was fired. Throughout it all, I always knew it could be more humane and motivating without the degrading, intimidating, and negative approach many coaches used. I always loved watching Phil Jackson coach the Bulls and read some about his coaching style at the time. But his book has great information that can be applied to any job, including parenting. Clearly, championships can be won while coaching a team respectfully and influencing them not just as a player, but as a human being. Every coach, teacher, camp counselor, parent would learn from this book. All athletes/children of those who do, will benefit greatly. I bought it for my Kindle, but just bought it in hardback too, as I want to highlight some parts and get all the book referrals he includes.

By Raptor Pete
Do you find yourself watching GD Factory Highlights late at night when you know when you should be going to bed? How about during your lunch break while you fuel up on some mealies? Or are you often late to work because you were watching highlights of Inside The NBA? Perhaps you've also searched the ends of YouTube for interviews of your favorite NBA players just to get a taste of their personality and mindset?
If you don't identify with any of the scenarios above, I can't say if this book is right for you. But if you like the Bulls, Phil Jackson, Dennis Rodman, or the Lakers then you will enjoy this book. It was just fun to read an inside perspective of the NBA both from a player's and a coach's standpoint. Although the book started off slow, it really starts to pick up when it gets into Phil's coaching career. I read this book right after reading Shaq's Uncut book. I think it was a good order to read the books in.
This book goes through Phil's Jackson's career from player to end of his coaching crusade with the beginnings of his adventure with the Knick's office. It really felt like I was reliving his journey and was given a genuine insight into his mindset during these times.

Phil Jackson is cool.......says Phil's ghost writer.
By Jason
This book has a "ghost written" feel to it. 70% of the book is just a recap of the Bulls and Lakers playoff and championship games- boring. Jackson's first book "sacred hoops" is much better. When reading this book I did wonder about why if Jackson is so "zen - like" he cannot apply these principles to his marriage(s). The book left me coming away that it was basically a " look at how cool I am " statement by Jackson with a few cool Zen quotes thrown in. If you want a playoff run recap from the glory days- this is your book. But if you looking for a Zen reading, save your coins and just buy " Not always so" on amazon- you will be happier - and more at peace :)
