Winning Is Not Enough

By: Jackie Stewart

Narrated by: Jackie Stewart

Sir Jackie Stewart is a man of immense charisma and integrity and is one of the most highly regarded names in global sport: winner of three F1 World Championships, 27 Grands Prix, and ranked in the top five drivers of all time. On retiring from the circuit, he went on to build an equally impressive international business career. In the 1960s and into the 70s, with his black cap, sideburns, and aviator shades, Jackie Stewart was an unmistakable icon in a glorious era of style, glamour, and speed. On the track, his story is one of drama, excitement, tragedy, controversy, celebrity, danger, and massive success. Beyond the sport, his life is a compelling tale of battling against the odds and achieving world-wide recognition as an outstanding sportsman, role model, and highly accomplished and respected businessman.©2007 Jackie Stewart

Jackie Stewart's Biography - self narrated!

Would you consider the audio edition of Winning Is Not Enough to be better than the print version?

This is better than the print version because Jackie Stewart reads it himself.

What other book might you compare Winning Is Not Enough to and why?

I don't know how to compare his story to anyone else - he is such a unique individual.

Have you listened to any of Jackie Stewart’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first time I've heard Jackie Stewart read his book.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when he told the story of being tested for dyslexia at 41 and being relieved of the feeling that he had been stupid all of his life up to that point. I knew that he was told in school as a boy that he was stupid - I didn't realize the feeling followed him into adulthood.

Any additional comments?

The story is incredible and his accent is very enjoyable.

Five stars all the way around.

Sir Jackie, in his typical modest way, takes the listener through a great, but all too brief journey through his life. I was hanging on every word. My Conley complaint is that I could have listened to a hundred hours of Jackie talking g about his life and experiences in racing and business. That of course is too much to ask for. But I’m very glad I bought this.
