"It's New Year's resolution time, and Mark Cuban's new book offers the rationale for a good one." —BUSINESS INSIDER
Using the greatest material from his popular Blog Maverick, Cuban has collected and updated his postings on business and life to provide a catalog of insider knowledge on what it takes to become a thriving entrepreneur. He tells his own rags-to-riches story of how he went from selling powdered milk and sleeping on friends' couches to owning his own company and becoming a multi-billion dollar success story. His unconventional yet highly effective ideas on how to build a successful business offer entrepreneurs at any stage of their careers a huge edge over their competitors.
"In short, [HOW TO WIN AT THE SPORT OF BUSINESS] exceeded...expectations. Short chapters...got right to the point and were not filled with 'stuffing'." —HUFFINGTON POST

算是成功学的书，读起来不费力。和其他成功学类似，当然也能找到一些作者原创的好句子和理论。
年轻的追梦者，创业者
This is actually really difficult to read. Although it has really good content, it is very hard to follow even with the editing. The stories tend to ramble on. I think that the actual content is good because it tells Mark's surprising story in a really real way. The only difficulty is staying focused in reading it because it tends to just go off on tangents. This was originally written for blogs after all. It would be nice if an editor could do some more work on it to make it less difficult to follow. Mark happens to be my favorite Shark. His words come off sounding like he does on the show. I find his story very believable and the fact that he believes hard work can make anyone succeed very inspirational.
This isn't an actual book of new writings, but a collection of Cuban's blog posts. In that respect, you could go read his blog and save yourself the money on the book. Since it's fairly inexpensive, it's not such a big deal to buy it.
Cuban's story is well known, but you get a better look at how he got where he is from the first person perspective. He doesn't glamourise his trials, and he makes it obvious what he considers the secret to entrepreneurship - hard work and constant selling. By providing examples of that through his life, you get to see how he backs up his ideas with his own hard work and how he was able to make his billions.
As an entrepreneur, there are a lot of reasonable lessons to be taken from the book. As a role model, I'm not sure Cuban fits the bill - he strikes me as someone with too big a chip on his shoulder. Given that he has billions and I don't, take that for whatever it's worth.
I really liked the advice he gave. It is great for both young and old. It is all very motivating especially if you are just starting out in business. I am right with him on his advice regarding sales.
My advice to those starting out is keep asking yourself if you should be an entrepreneur. If you slowly find yourself disliking the corporate world, go start your own business. Get a real estate license or some other license where you work for an organization yet you are your own boss.
The only thing I didn't like about the book was it read like a blog. But then again, that's what Mark intended it to be - a compilation of blogs.
Overall, it was great!
