This is a fantastic book on a number of levels. First, it’s a great inside look at Lance Armstrong. Brad Kearns’ inside knowledge spans Lance’s entire career, from when they were both on the triathlon circuit, all the way through Lance’s “retirement.”
The book is full of interviews with Lance and his famous “inside circle.” Any cycling fan will love the behind-the-scenes look into Lance’s life and career.
But this is more than just another Lance book. I don’t generally like “how-to-get-ahead” type books, but this book also fits that genre as well. Brad looks at the main success factors used by Lance and shows us specifically how we can all use those same factors in our own lives.
Instead of being just another how-to-get-ahead book, however, Brad knows that “success” can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people and invites us to look at what we think of as “success.” Maybe success to you means having a great life where you can spend time with your children and not get caught up in the rat race. This book applies to that kind of success as well, which I find very refreshing.
In short, I think anyone from attorneys to cyclists to students to soccer-moms can take something from this book and have it help them improve their lives – and be entertained at the same time.
