HOW BASKETBALL CAN SAVE THE WORLD
13 Guiding Principles for Reimagining What's Possible
In HOW BASKETBALL CAN SAVE THE WORLD, New York University professor, David Hollander, offers a thought provoking exploration of how basketball - and the values rooted in the game - can solve today's most pressing issues, borne out of his incredibly popular course of the same name.
For readers interested in a new, innovative take on leadership, philosophy, and humanitarianism, and followers of the NBA or basketball in general, Hollander moves beyond the classroom to present a beautiful new philosophy based on values inherent to basketball, such as inclusion and balancing of individual success with the needs of the collective.
When the author first introduced the course "How Basketball Can Save the World," at Tisch Institute for Global Sport at New York University it became a sensation almost overnight. For the class, he invites current NBA and WNBA superstars, Hall of Fame players, coaches, and other cultural figures to debate and give insights on how the underlying principles of the game of basketball can provide a new blueprint for addressing our diverse challenges and showing what's possible beyond the court.
These principles move us beyond conflict and confusion toward a more harmonious and meaningful future:
- Positionless-ness: In basketball, players aren't siloed into just one position or responsibility. In life, we can learn to be more adaptive to the challenges we face by embracing a positionless mindset.
- Human Alchemy: We talk a lot about team chemistry, but team alchemy means the creation of something totally new - a team far greater than the sum of its parts.
- Sanctuary: Basketball offers players a critical space to feel safe, free, and expressive. Fostering similar spaces in the real world, can encourage people to be their best, happiest, and most productive selves.
- Transcendence: Basketball is about defying gravity, becoming weightless, and flying higher than anyone ever has before. By seeking out this principle, we can elevate ourselves and those around us to a new plane of experience.
HOW BASKETBALL CAN SAVE THE WORLD is a perfect gift book for readers of books on leadership and basketball fans and aficionados. Whether you're a seasoned veteran of the game or have never set foot on a court, How Basketball Can Save the World will empower you to become more resilient, tolerant, and wise in your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you.
