Summaries and Customer Reviews provided by Amazon
SummarySuper Bowl–winning coach and #1 New York Times best selling author Tony Dungy has had an unusual opportunity to reflect on what it takes to achieve significance. He is looked to by many as the epitome of the success and significance that is highly valued in our culture. He also works every day with young men who are trying to achieve significance through football and all that goes with a professional athletic career—such as money, power, and celebrity. Coach Dungy has had all that, but he passionately believes that there is a different path to significance, a path characterized by attitudes, ambitions, and allegiances that are all too rare but uncommonly rewarding. Uncommon reveals lessons on achieving significance that the coach has learned from his remarkable parents, his athletic and coaching career, his mentors, and his journey with God. A particular focus of the book: what it means to be a man of significance in a culture that is offering young men few positive role models. |

Average Rating: 
Uncommon is excellent
Rating:
Tony's book gives a great explanation of how to be an uncommon person. Though written to men, can be transferred as to how to be an uncommon woman as well. Although there are references to football, the main content is about living life in general, and how letting God be the center of that life makes a difference. God can make you Uncommon in your actions toward others.
Excellent!!!
Rating:
I highly recommend this book and/or CD to everyone I talk to. Tony Dungy is a positive role model that is sorely lacking in our society today. It is done in an easy, relaxed style that appeals to all age groups and yet is extremely impacting.
Must read for anyone with young adults
Rating:
Tony Dungy continues to motivate me to aspire to be a better Christian man. This is a must read for anyone raising teens or young adults. Tony truly inspires a passion for greatness, whether on the inside or outside of sports. Single parents wondering how to raise your son(s) or daughter(s)? READ THIS BOOK!

I know that this book is getting a lot of hype with the DVD's and now a study bible attached to it - but don't let the commercialism behind it fool you. It is a great a book with a lot of practical advise - none of which is bad. The bottom line in the book is character. It addresses the ups and down of life - the highs and lows - the in's and out's and ultimately how a man should handle all situations when they arise - with character. I have to say I was involved in the whole Promise Keepers movement when it was in its hey-day, back in the nineties - and in that time I never read a book on character and values that was written as good as this one is. It is refreshing to read a book by a popular Christian figure that isn't dressed up and fake with easy solutions and fix-it-to-make-it-all-better schemes. Knowing the personal tragedy that this man has faced in his own life just added to its authenticity. Tony Dungy speaks of having a positive attitude differently than others on this genre. He doesn't present "the positive attitude" as a way to solve and fix problems - but as a way to get through them and ultimately to build character. This book was better than his last one and refreshing to read. As soon as this baby hits the stores in paperback I'll be grabbing a bunch of 'em to pass on to friends and family.
