“Whether you are an athlete or an entrepreneur, a single mother or a father of five children, in this book you will find exercises, techniques and tools that will improve every area of your life,” reads the description of the book. “Your life will take on new meaning when you move from the pursuit of happiness to a life of purpose and fulfillment.”
Brown said after the game that he brings a book to the sidelines every week.
“It gives me a sense of peace,” he said, via NFL Network. “That’s the playbook I bring every game. My teammates call it the recipe. … There’s a lot of points in there. A lot of mental game.”
Golf great Stewart Cink and PGA Tour coach Matt Killen have been quoted in support of Murphy’s book, according to the Amazon page.
“My #1 tip for success: Read Jim Murphy’s ‘Inner Excellence,'” Cink was quoted as saying.
“I read the first draft of ‘Inner Excellence’ six times. I recommend all my clients read it,” Killen is quoted as saying.
