| 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful  definitely make you feel motivated, By Shafqat Mobarak (Delhi) - See all my reviews Verified Purchase(What is this?) This review is from: Shoe Dog (Paperback) My fascination for Apple products led me to Steve Jobs. Irrespective of my love for Nike, I never did any information search of Phil Knight. Which is disappointing, because I may have related more to Phil Knight as a person than Steve Jobs. Through Nike’s products â€" shoes, applications, gears and endorsing celebrities, I imagined Phil as a hard-core extrovert marketer. He turned out as an introvert, a silent warrior.The book ‘Shoe Dog’ is more like a conversation you have with your friend in a long weekend trip. How his life has shaped up from college, how people supported him, how challenges welcomed him with open arms (sometimes all at the same time) and how he survived after all.

This review is from: Shoe Dog (Paperback) Many books I’ve read about entrepreneurs follow a common, and I believe misleading, storyline. It goes like this: A sharp entrepreneur gets a world-changing idea, develops a clear business strategy, recruits a crack team of partners, and together they rocket to fame and riches. Reading these accounts, I’m always struck by how they make their achievements appear to be the inevitable result of some great prescience or unusual skill. Shoe Dog, Phil Knight’s memoir about creating Nike, is a refreshingly honest reminder of what the path to business success really looks like. It’s a messy, perilous, and chaotic journey riddled with mistakes, endless struggles, and sacrifice. In fact, the only thing that seems inevitable in page after page of Knight’s story is that his company will end in failure. Must Read.  CANNOT DESCRIBE IN WORDS, By Verified Purchase(What is this?) This review is from: Shoe Dog (Paperback) First of all I believe I am really fortunate as much as you guys to find this book.This book is good in all aspects.It brings out the voice of every person into searching something new in life.This is the book which has a message that will stay in your mind forever.This is the story of a former track athlete from Oregon.Shoe dog gives you an insight into Phil Knight's journey of ups and downs which has finally built the great empire of NIKE.I believe that this book will change your mind and its aspects the next time you go to buy a Nike product.The next time you visit a Nike store you will see a story behind everything :the shoes,soles,the swoosh and almost everything.This book itself gives an experience you would never forget.Phil Knight is a man who is extraordinarily gifted as a businessman,a story teller,a track athlete and many other things.I believe that this review might not be a special count as there are many people who have written a review on this book,but I cannot...
