Summary: the book is a path to the sublime
Comment: well thought-out and well written...the author merely designates the jump shot but it is really an implicit comparison to a way of life. with the aid of cohesive metaphors and illuminating paradoxes the book allows the western mind to comprehend the art of "letting go". a concept which is not only difficult to learn, but also it is all too often misinterpreted as a form of inactivity. the author explains the shooter should be absorbed in what he (she) is doing, and not how he (she) is doing. the book serves to counterbalance our culture often relies solely on rational thinking. i'm buying a second book because i highlighted so many things in the first. i own a dozen or so books on taoism this one is by far the best at communicated to the western mind that inherent in everything is the natural tendency to act harmoniously with the rest of the universe. this is one introspective and intelligent author that just happens to also coach basketball. my only wish is that he would coach my son.
