I am currently reading Uncommon by Tony Dungy (Indianapolis Colts coach for those that may not follow football). It was an unexpected gift and I really had not intended to read it, but now I cannot put it down.
It is not a book about football, it is a book about how to be Uncommon in today's world. It is sad what we now consider to be uncommon. He touches on subjects that used to be expected and that are considered impolite or politically incorrect to bring up. Things like Character, Honesty, Humility and respect for authority. He delves into subjects such as how to be a good father, how to treat a women, how to reach your full potential, how to be a role model to others, and how to live a life of faith.
A lot of positive has been said about Tony Dungy; the way he coaches, how he treats people and how he lives. This book is an extremely courageous statement on how men should be, not what is now considered acceptable.
Read this book! If you have sons, make them read it (or save it for them until they are old enough), and talk to them about it. If you have daughters, Make them read it, and explain to them that this is the kind of man they should be waiting for.
