Summary: A reading "must" for every teenager in America
Comment: Rick Pitino says it best when he says cherish the moment. Playas if you want it to last forever--your work day, your life, yourmarriage, your day to day devotions. This is all we really have in our life and we choose how we want to handle it. Every teenager who thinks their parents "owe" them or needs to have everything sugar coated so it doesn't hurt their feelings needs to read this book. Sometimes you need to hear what's wrong to be able to do what's right. It's done with love not anger and is very constructive. Rick lets you know that life is a learning process and you need to learn from successful people all you can. I highly recommend this book for anyone feeling like they need a boost in life. The first step is the biggest step and but also the easiest--give the 110 % to whatever it is you are doing and you are on your way to becoming successful.

Summary: Some Good Advice but Not Too Deep
Comment: This book is a very fast read and Pitino hammers home some key points such as setting realistic short term goals. Also he emphasizes the importance of maintaining focused and keeping a positive attitude. He gives some examples from his coaching experiences. Some stories stand out more than others.

However, many parts of this book seem to repeat itself. Pitino does not distinguish each chapter enough. Somehow Pat Riley's The Winner Within offers better examples that are more special. None the less there is more good than bad and and any sports fan will appreciate Pitino's basic candor.

Summary: Hogwash!
Comment: There is nothing here that hasn't been written elsewhere, and better. But the biggest problem is the titular idea that "success is a choice." Hogwash! If success is a choice, why didn't Mr Pitino "choose" to succeed as coach of the Boston Celtics instead of failing miserably? It's abjectly self-serving to win a college championship and then write a huge pat on your own back congratulating yourself on having "chosen" to win. Where is the book after the Celtics fiasco? In point of fact, most of our successes or failures in life are determined by forces completely out of our control. In the words of the old adage, people like Pitino are born on third base and spend their lives thinking they hit a triple. Worse, such an attitude allows the haves to blame the have-nots for their own plight, instead of recognizing the systemic obstacles standing in the way of universal socio-economic enfranchisement.
