The Tao of the Jump Shot: An Eastern Approach to Life and Basketball Book

The Tao of the Jump Shot illuminates the principles of Eastern philosophy by exploring the simple act of shooting a basketball. In Taoism, to become a master of something one must perfect not only the technical side of the skill but the spiritual side as well. This beautifully written book takes the reader on a journey through the inner and outer mastery of the jump shot. In doing so it shows how to infuse every action with new meaning and depth. In contrast to modern professional sports, which have become soulless commercial enterprises, the author explains how to add spiritual dimension to our lives simply by focusing on the act of playing rather than the goal of winning.
