“Whether you are an athlete or an entrepreneur, a single mother or a father of five, in this book you will find exercises, techniques and tools that will improve every area of your life,” reads the book’s description. “Your life will take on new meaning as you move beyond the pursuit of happiness to a life of purpose and fulfillment.”
Brown said after the game that he puts the book aside every week.
“It gives me a feeling of peace,” he said, via NFL Network. “That’s a book I carry every game. My teammates call it a recipe… It’s got a lot of points in there. A lot of mental play.”
Golf great Stewart Cink and PGA Tour coach Matt Killen are cited in support of Murphy’s book, according to his Amazon page.
“My number one tip for success: read ‘Inner Excellence’ by Jim Murphy,” Cink is quoted as saying.
“I read the first version of ‘Inner Excellence’ six times. I recommend all my clients read it,” Killen is quoted as saying.
