So much more than another Armani suit, Pitino has done a job of psychology and salesmanship that should serve as a how-to manual for his profession. |

Pitino’s track record is extraordinary... his personal style is also winning. |

At first glance, the book Success is a Choice seems to be just another informative guide to success. To a degree, this is true, but reading the book in this way does not reveal its true potential: The real power of the book is not as a passive informative piece of literature, but as an active companion which guides and motivates you through your projects.
Putting it simply: Success is a Choice is a coach. It is full of motivation talk as well as constructive criticism that Coach Pitino gave to his players in real situations. It also lists and analyzes quite a few Pitino's own mistakes and fumbles, and this gives you the feeling of candid nonpatronizing approach. In short - this book is the next best thing to having Coach Pitino himself by your side, coaching you to success... and the guy sure is a great coach!
The only bad thing I can say about this book, is that it doesn't look like a coaching book at first glance. As stated in the beginning of this review, the book seems to be just another "success guide", and I suspect this prevents many readers to realize its full potential.
Overall, a highly recommended book for anyone who wants to get gain more control over their lives.

I highly appreciate this book. It is well organized. It explains the ideas step by step with lots of examples, so that you can understand easily. The summary at the end of each chapter also help you to have deep impression on each point. The most touching me and persuade me to believe in the points made by the author is that, there are some third-parties who experienced the methods/ concept, shared their feeling with us. They told us how they using the method or concept to achieve their goal. I really believed that if we follow the concept and steps mentioned by the book, it is not so difficult for us to achieve our goal. |

Rick Pitino is a genius at getting the maximum effectiveness from people regardless of obstacles. Having his exact philosophies on my home bookshelf is a joy and provides instant motivation on days where I feel lazy, unmotivated or unfocused. Everyone occassionally needs a jump start and Coach Pitino is a walking kick in the butt. But what's important is that he conveys the "Why's" of his messages, meaning that there is purpose to his ideas and that is what makes you remember each step because they really do provide the framework for deserving success. Lots of people like to think they know everything it takes to be truly successful, but ironically very few of us actually are. This honest, gut-checking book will definitely be a constant reminder and functional compass to make sure any reader is pointed in the right direction. I can't recommend it highly enough. Now I'm going out to get the CD! |

This is a great book written by an equally great coach. Rick Pitino's thoughts and ideas on motivating yourself and others is exceptional. (I'm just sorry to see that so many people are just getting around to reading it since the book has been out for a couple of years now). You can see the coach in him come out and by being a follower of him you can see how he has taken the adversity in his life and overcome it using mind over matter and self-determination as the key. This is an extraordinary book and it should be on everyone's bookself.

The age old ideology that our success and happiness ultimately depends on what we think, while obviously nothing that we haven't heard before, is masterfully explained by Coach Pitino in this highly motivational book. The book is full of sound principles that can be used in any walk of life. While the underlying theme that success is a choice is simplistic and easily understandable, actually choosing a positive attitude in your everyday life is one of those things that is easier said than done, and the inspirational stories that Pitino tells from his experiences in the book are fuel for anyone's motivational fire and help make choosing and maintaining the positive attitude that is necessary for success an easier choice to make. I would rate this book right up there with the best self-help books of all time like those by Dale Carnegie and Stephen Covey.
