Sinossi

Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, a classic bestseller, has inspired an optimistic perspective for millions of Americans. Now, in an inspirational and entertaining rebuttal, the legendary basketball coach Bob Knight explains why "negative thinking" will actually produce more positive results, in sports and in daily life. Coach Knight, the second-winningest coach in NCAA history with 902 victories, explains that victory is often attained by the team that makes the fewest mistakes. His coaching philosophy was to instill discipline by "preparing to win" rather than hoping to win. That meant understanding the downside and drilling his teams to prevent the things that could go wrong. And when his teams did win, he made sure they didn’t dwell on their success, but rather looked immediately to the challenges of the next game. He applies this lesson to business strategy as well.

Recensione

· "It's an antidote to America’s kiss-the-booboo Little League moms — and psycho bleacher dads, too.”—New York Post · "If the book could be summed up in one sentence, it’s probably the short, italicized one found in the introduction: 'Victory favors the team making the fewest mistakes.' But, such a digest would preclude any discussion of theology, turkey mating calls and the upside of being hard to please."—Indianapolis Star · "What distinguishes The Power of Negative Thinking is that it is fun to read and wise."—The Wall Street Journal · “Brightly anecdotal. Legendary college-basketball coach Knight sings the praises of negativity [in] a quick, negative-to-achieve manifesto.”—Kirkus · “This readable book’s got plenty of game.” –Bookpage
