The Lakota Way: Native American Wisdom, Stories & Life Lessons for Personal Growth | Perfect for Spiritual Seekers & Self-Improvement

What can I say about this book beyond my headline...I was reading a memoir by famed NBA coach Phil Jackson called "11 Rings" wherein he describes how he employs Lakota teachings both in his own life and to help build and inspire extraordinary basketball teams (including the legendary Chicago Bulls squad that went on to win six championships). He references the Lakota throughout the book, which of course piqued my interest and made me want to learn more...and I am so very glad I did.I could write a whole essay here, but let me just say this: I read a lot. I like a lot of books. It is not often that I love a book, and I really love this one. I learned so much, both about Lakota culture and tradition and the true heritage of our nation. I had no idea how ignorant I really was about it all, frankly (our schools don't teach it very well, and need to do better) and I feel I owe Marshall a debt of gratitude for opening my eyes and capturing my imagination. The lessons, stories and historic references blend together perfectly, almost poetically, making this not just a read but an experience. I am thinking differently as a result of this book, and I totally get Phil Jackson's reverence. I hope you will purchase "Lakota Way" and read it carefully. And then tell a friend...
