Synopsis
Super Bowl–winning coach and #1 New York Times best selling author Tony Dungy has had an unusual opportunity to reflect on what it takes to achieve significance. He is looked to by many as the epitome of the success and significance that is highly valued in our culture. He also works every day with young men who are trying to achieve significance through football and all that goes with a professional athletic career—such as money, power, and celebrity. Coach Dungy has had all that, but he passionately believes that there is a different path to significance, a path characterized by attitudes, ambitions, and allegiances that are all too rare but uncommonly rewarding. Uncommon reveals lessons on achieving significance that the coach has learned from his remarkable parents, his athletic and coaching career, his mentors, and his journey with God. A particular focus of the book: what it means to be a man of significance in a culture that is offering young men few positive role models.

August 27, 2009: "Character begins with the little things in life." "Character is tested, revealed, and further developed by the decisions we make in the most challenging times." These are two quotes from the book. Deep and meaningful, worthwhile reading, it encourages and inspires me to be a person of character. A question presented to the reader is, "Would you rather be described as successful and famous or as honest, forgiving, faithful, trustworthy, understanding of others, reasonable, thoughtful and personally accountable?" This book has profound insight; Tony Dungy is adept at expressing the need for people to have integrity and values they are willing to stand for and not acquiesce to "society's standard". This is a great read. Favorable: inspiring and encouraging information.
