Open

Why I recommend it

Agassi writes candidly about becoming exceptional at something he doesn’t always love. His private experience complicates the public image of success.

What stayed with me

A career can become hard to separate from who we are. The book made me think about what ambition gives us and what it costs.

Who it’s useful for

Sports fans and memoir readers interested in life behind a public career.

A tension or limitation

It’s one person’s telling of a complicated life. Others in the story may remember it differently.
