Why read it?

1 author picked Life on the Run as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

It was fascinating to read about Bill Bradley’s life as a basketball star at Princeton and with the New York Knicks – before he was elected a US Senator. 

I found him to be an exemplary model on how to achieve excellence. He would have made a great president of the United States.
