Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, a classic best seller, 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.

I wanted to read a book with this title and this man. Everyone has no opinion and the rest of us love him or hate him. i was inthe everyone for years, but now i can say i like him
i learned from a friend at Texas Tech, that Bobby Knights assitant coaches gave out to each player books that a. would help them for the team and b. to learn about their coach. i had not changed my mind that he appears to and sounded like a bully. i still think there is a little truth in my observation, but not all the truth.
i learned in this book that the title is there to catch you. Bring you to the counter to buy things. While there are some Basketball terms and game chat, instead it is about what people can say from the negative sometimes that hits home in someone. You know it has taken Bobby Knight for me to realize that 7 of the 10 Commandments start off with the negative.
In this everyone gets a trophy, era. Listening to Bobby Knight ask why a coach is getting paid 600,000 and will get 16,000 if wins 19 games is enlightening. He asks what was the 600,000 for?
A good read for anyone. Coaches might enjoy more then others because of the sports examples. If you are person from anywhere he coached, you will like his stories.
Get this title, read, reread, and respond within your own life a few of 'Knights Nuggets'.

Roadmap For LifeWho was your favorite character and why?
Bob Knight. If I have to tell you why, then I'm not sure this book is for you.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes. But alas, I am just not afforded that luxury. Ever.Any additional comments?
I would recommend this book to anyone that wants to learn a different way of looking at things. It's not often you can express in words how to turn negatives into lessons that will set you up for success. Bob Knight does it brilliantly in this book.If you are a college basketball fan, you'll enjoy it even more!

I read another’s review speaking critically about Bob relating and recanting some of his coaching career. What would one expect that he use to emphasize his thoughts and points -woodcarving or cooking maybe?
This is a very good book where Coach Knight, a great teacher, recalls some of his experiences to bring great insight and interesting perspectives that are relatable to work, relationships, and life!
Enjoy…
