Like so many others in 2020, I was captivated by the series of the Last Dance and enthralled by the coaching methods of Phil Jackson, which didn't get the full detail they deserved in the series.
This book does a wonderful job of providing Phil Jacksons perspective on his time with the Bulls and the Lakers with a much deeper insight into his management style, thoughts and practices. There is a lot of food for thought in here beyond the basketball court with a wide range of theological and psychological texts referenced. Phil Jackson pushes Zen Buddhism to the reader like he did to his players - as a point of intrigue worth considering rather than "thou shalt do as I say".
Given so many seasons covered, the depth of information is a little thin, but as I am not a huge follower of basketball (as a UK resident, this is the default position) I got enough information on the primary players and characters. The insights into Kobe Bryant and his development are interesting.
At just 350 pages, you feel this book could have been double the size and just as enthralling but for what it is, it is a well recommended read if you liked the Last Dance and are interested in learning more about Phil Jackson coaching style.
