"A thought-provoking exploration of
how
basketball
-- and the values rooted in the game --
can
solve today'
s
most pressing issues, from the professor behind the popular New York University course NBA and WNBA superstars. Hall of Fame players, coaches, and other cultural figures have all dropped by New York University Professor David Hollander'
s
course "
How
Basketball
Can
Save
the
World
" course to debate and give insights on
how
the underlying
principles
of the game
can
provide a new blueprint for addressing our diverse challenges and showing
what
's
possible
beyond the court. Now, in
How
Basketball
Can
Save
the
World
, Hollander moves beyond the classroom to present a beautiful new philosophy with contributions by many of his past guests and based on values inherent to
basketball
, such as inclusion and the balancing of individual success with the needs of the collective. These
principles
move us beyond conflict and confusion toward a more harmonious and meaningful future: Positionless-ness: In
basketball
, players aren't siloed into just one position or responsibility. In life, we
can
learn to be more adaptive to the challenges we face by embracing a positionless mindset. Human Alchemy: We talk a lot about team chemistry, but team alchemy means the creation of something totally new-a team far greater than the sum of its parts. Sanctuary:
Basketball
offers players a critical space to feel safe, free, and expressive. Fostering similar spaces in the real
world
can
encourage people to be their best, happiest, and most productive selves. Transcendence:
Basketball
is about defying gravity, becoming weightless, and flying higher than anyone ever has before. By seeking out this principle, we
can
elevate ourselves and those around us to a new plane of experience. Whether you're a seasoned veteran of the game or have never set foot on a court,
How
Basketball
Can
Save
the
World
will empower you to become more resilient, tolerant, and wise in your relationship with yourself, others, and the
world
around you"--From publisher.
