520    "No one sees baseball like Joe Maddon. He sees it through 
       his trademark glasses and irrepressible wit. Raised in the
       "shot-and-beer" town of Hazleton, Pa., and forged by 15 
       years in the minors, Maddon over 19 seasons in Tampa Bay, 
       Chicago and Anaheim has become one of the most successful,
       most colorful, and most quoted managers in Major League 
       Baseball. He is a workplace culture expert, having 
       engineered two of the most stunning turnarounds in the 
       past quarter century: taking the Rays from the worst 
       record in baseball one year to the World Series the next 
       and leading the Cubs to their first World Series title in 
       108 years. Like his teams, Maddon defies convention. He is
       part strategist, part philosopher, part sports 
       psychologist and part motivational coach. In THE BOOK OF 
       JOE, Maddon gives readers unique insights into the game, 
       including the tension between art and data, the changing 
       role of managers as front offices gain power, why the 
       honeymoon with the Cubs did not last, and what it's like 
       to manage the modern player, including stars such as 
       Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout, Albert Pujols, Yu Darvish and 
       Kris Bryant. But you expect even more from a manager who 
       meditates daily, admires Twain, and has only one rule when
       it comes to a team dress code: "If you think you look hot,
       wear it." And Maddon delivers. Built on old school values 
       and new school methods, his wisdom applies beyond the 
       dugout. His mantras about leadership, mentorship, team 
       building, and communication are meditations on life, not 
       just baseball. Among those mantras are: "Do simple 
       better." "Try not to suck." "Don't ever permit the 
       pressure to exceed the pleasure." "See it with first time 
       eyes." "Tell me what you think, not what you heard." THE 
       BOOK OF JOE is Maddon at his uniquely holistic best. It is
       a memoir of a fascinating baseball journey, an insider's 
       look at a changing game, and a guidebook on leadership and
       life"--|cProvided by publisher.
