Editor's Notes and Comments:
Brief Book Summary:
Michael Jordan is the rare global icon whose celebrity extends beyond his original stage and onto multiple platforms.
His relentless determination produced six NBA Championships and some of the most spectacular performances in sports history, while his enduring grace and unique sense of style made him equally famous in the worlds of fashion, business, and marketing.
In Driven from Within, Michael makes it clear that the basis for his phenomenal sucess came from the inside out, thanks in part to those who guided him along the way. His skill, work ethic, philosophy, personal style, competitiveness and presence have flowed from the basketball court and into every facet of his life.
Nearly three years removed from his last turn as an athlete, Michael's 20th Air Jordan shoe has helped push Nike's Brand Jordan division to nearly $500 million in sales.
'Nothing of value comes without being earned, That's why great leaders are those who lead by example first.You can't demand respect because of a title or a position and expect people to follow. That might work for a little while, but in the long run people respond to what they see.'
This is a book about the power of collaberation and teamwork, the awe-inspiring energy generated when people combine their creativity and passion, and a fearless desire to lead.
Whether waking at 6 A.M. to work out as a high school junior, or spending hours with legendary designer Tinker Hatfield on the intricacies of state-of-the-art shoe design, Michael Jordan has never wavered in his desire to be the best.
'It all started with an appetite to prove. Whether it was competing with my siblings or trying to get attention from my parents, I wanted to show what I could do, what I was capable of accomplishing. I wanted results, and I was driven to find out the best way to get them.'
Everyone knows the results. In Driven from Within, Michael Jordan and those in his inner circle reveal the philosophy that makes it all happen.

This book overall was pretty good, the only pitfall are the pages where they talk about brand Nike. They overembellish the brand/product a bit. Other than this there is some good stuff on the MJ persona in this book. I enjoyed reading some of the stories about him and also his personal views on many things. Good read for any Jordan enthusiast.

I gave this book to my little brother who loves both basketball and Michael Jordan and he loved it!! It was full of stories, pictures and inspirational quotes. The best part about it is that it was written by Jordan himself. I would highly recommend this book.

The product came in a timely fashion and delivery was not a problem. I was a little disappointed in the quality of the book when it came. The inside was nice but the outside jacket looked as if the book had been used. I don't know if it moved around a lot in shipping but it did not have the newest look.

This book was great it said almost everything about michael jordan's life through hes highschool year and college year at north carolina. I also think that it was good for people thats young because it shows a lot of pictures of michaeel jordan's shoes and him when hes playin basketball or other thing.
I think people that like jordan's shoes should read this book because it describes how they made that shoes from and how they get the idea of it plus it shows how michael jordan think about that shoes and some part is very funny because for example hes very first shoes "jordan 1's" he says like "im not wearing that shoes, it looks like clown" and when i was reading that part. i just started laughin outta no where because i thought it was pretty funny. It also shows the sketch of the shoes that they made or planning to make and a lot of ideas of drawings. I think a lot of elementary school kids well understand this too.
This book also has a lot of quotes and i think most of them is so true, like one of hes quotes "its hard, but its fair" it means that he practices alot and its hard but at the end u need to practice to get better.
When i was reading this book it just showed me how great michael jordan was and it made me admire him. First, i thought he was a normal NBA guy and i didnt think he was that special but now after i read this book, it showed me what he did through high school and how hard it was. one day, i wanna be like michael jordan and be a great basketball prayer like him.
This book was very first book that i really loved to read and i couldnt stop reading this book because it was also so exciting.
Best part of this book was the what do they picture when they make there jordan shoes because it was randomest thing and i was pretty amazed also, like one of hes shoes, "jordan 13" they imagine about a grey tiger that like hunts animal or people at night with purple eyes and then on the shoes, theres a purple thing for the tigers eyes and all grey shining leather part and it was pretty amazing. There my favorite shoes outta all the jordans and i wish i have them, but now its expensive and i cant afford it.
