In the compelling pages of "Way of the Champion," authors Jerry Lynch and Chungliang Al Huang unveil a transformative approach to achievement that transcends mere victory in competition. Drawing from the timeless wisdom of Sun Tzu's "Art of War," as well as the profound teachings of ancient Taoist texts such as the "I Ching" and "Tao Te Ching," this book presents a blueprint for success that harmonizes the martial spirit with the path of personal growth and self-realization. It is a guide that champions the development of inner qualities essential for true success: self-esteem, courage, perseverance, and integrity, to name but a few. Through the cultivation of these virtues, Lynch and Huang propose a way of being that leads not only to achieving one's goals but to a deeper sense of fulfillment and purpose. "Way of the Champion" is more than a strategy manual; it is a philosophical journey into the heart of what it means to be a champion in every aspect of life. It emphasizes the importance of self-awareness, strategic positioning, and the ability to turn adversity into advantage, ensuring that victory on the outside begins with victory within. This book serves as a mentor, guiding readers through the art of winning by mastering the paradox of gaining strength through vulnerability and power through peace. For anyone seeking to elevate their life's work to the level of art, Lynch and Huang offer not just strategies but a way of life that fosters unassailable inner strength and a competitive edge that cannot be defeated.

It’s a book that you do, rather than just read. It’s great. I pass it out like it’s candy in locker rooms. - Michael Gervais
the legendary racehorse Seabiscuit, considered by the so-called experts to lack star capability. He had none of the traditional earmarks of the truly great horses, yet he ran with heart and became a successful champion. As an interesting sidelight, it is understood in the race-horse culture that only champion horses receive a formal burial ceremony when they die. The heart and head are buried, while the body is discarded, because those intimately associated with the animal know that it became a champion by demonstrating courage (from the French word coeur, meaning heart), tenacity, fearlessness, and the willingness to suffer pain—all qualities of a true warrior. Among people as well, the heart and the head make the champion.
— Jerry Lynch, Way of the Champion
