What Customers Say About How Tiger Does It:

Very well written. I highly recommend this book to all those who have desire to learn and grow to become better.

Golfing advice is scant. On the whole, the book can best be viewed as a celebration of self-absorption, which may well be a necessary quality of a great athlete (and even not so great ones like the author) but would not serve most of us very well as an attitude towards life. One searches for words to describe this book. For example, in the section on focus we learn (surprise) that a pre-shot routine is a pretty good idea. If you believe that "follow your bliss" is actually useful (or even coherent) advice, you might like this book.That is to say, I am sorry I wasted my money. Confused might be best. There is a whole lot of questionable advice about conducting one's business (for which the author's qualifications are, shall we say, unclear).

Easy to read with a relaxed prose, the author is clearly in his "zone." Buy it and be encouraged in your own life. While this book centers around Tiger Woods and is filled with interesting facts about his career and success, the focus is about achieving a life balance and focusing on your own success--not the prize.

I agree with the author's premise that he is the greatest athlete of all time, and offers tremendously valuable lessons for all of us in daily life. As Tiger continues to dominate golf, the important questions and comments in the book will arouse more and more interest. This book was an interesting departure from the many other Tiger books that are biographical based. I really enjoyed the practical tips at the end of each chapter that I could implement into my own life using Tiger's example.
