There is a lot of detail about the number of hours he practices per day, how he thinks about the fighting games in which he competes, and how he thinks about competition in general. Perhaps the most interesting question the author touches upon is why he dedicated his life to figh The theme of this book is that endurance and practice are far more important to success than innate ability. Perhaps the most interesting question the author touches upon is why he dedicated his life to fighting games in the first place.
The quick answer is that he did it because he enjoyed it. But there's more to it than that. For example, from a relatively young age, Daigo had a singular focus on playing video games. He did not aspire to learn programming to make video games, become an artist to animate them, or really have anything to do with their creation. He only liked playing them. He experienced a type of self-growth the deeper he delved into a game's mechanics.
His insistence on doing only what he enjoyed was a risky proposition given that there was no evidence at the time he started out and for many years after that Street Fighter, or any video game, would ever become an "e-sport" from which a select few 'gamers' could make actual money and acquire sponsors like professional athletes.
His choices as a whole forced me to ponder whether it is right to do what you love in life even if there is no evidence that it will ever amount to anything. Don't get me wrong. I'm not against someone trying to become a pro baseball player even though only a select few players ever make the big leagues. Swing for the stars by all means. I'm talking about dedicating one's life to baseball in a hypothetical world where baseball as a profession hasn't even been invented yet.
Picture it - No major leagues, no minor leagues, no stadiums, no fans, and no peanuts; just a group of guys who go down to the park everyday and play a little known sport that requires even lesser known tools a ball and a bat. It's all quite a risk, but in Daigo's case it paid off bigtime. The world of E-sports blossomed and is showing no sign of slowing down. I'm truly happy and relieved for him that it all worked out.
I recommend this book for many reasons, chiefly because Daigo is great at explaining by example how one can become better skilled in any profession or arena that requires competition. It's also a pretty quick read. Some negatives - I think Daigo could have given just a little more description of what a fighting game is and how they play. I'm familiar with that type of game, but someone who has never played one might have difficulty relating to the subject matter.
Also, I would have liked to have a little more background on how e-sports as a monetized profession evolved in general and fighting games with them. I know the answers to those questions but I'm not sure a mainstream reader would Nov 19, Geoff rated it it was amazing.
I consider this book to be one of the top motivational books I have read to date. Daigo Umehara offers a unique view in to his view on being the premiere Pro Fighting Gamer on the planet. What impressed me is how Daigo views his profession.

An example of his philosophy, when engaging an opponent prepare for and attack their strengths because defeating them by going after their weaknesses does not cause your skill to grow. This book has provided me with a valuable checklist of sorts, which I did not have before, that I will use when looking in to or dealing with future and even current endeavors.
Very highly recommended. Jul 12, Marx Andrade rated it it was amazing. Given my current journey into Pro gaming, this book was infinitely useful to me. Not that anything said was completely new to me, but that it was reaffirming of my previously held notions of what it takes to be great. I see a lot of myself in daigo, from reliance on deep thought, rebellion and self improvement. This book definitely gave me some comfort and solace in my notion that greatness is often achieved by the road less traveled.

When I was in middle school, once my friend came to me, with flying colors on his face, and told the tale of this street fighter player's unbelievable comeback during a championship game, with only 1 pixel of vitality, he somehow made the impossible 15 consecutive "parry" of opponent's super attack and won the game.
Great content. I've found a new home. Thank you for your comments and recommendation. We will add this site later after we have checked it. No, the guy that ran the website shut it down due to the cost of running the site being too high. Thank you for your sharing. It is a little bit pity. This site should be a good resource. We will keep looking for some other website to download the free epub books. Hi I have been looking for the book Badd Mojo by Jasinda Wilder as a free download everywhere and cant find it.
I am looking for a book you will bow down by Nicholas Bella I have been looking for a free download every where I can't find it. I am hoping you can come through for me. You're my last hope. It gets very frustrating on most of these sites. A lot of them say "FREE" but then they want a credit card number. I do NOT give out my number so therefore I can not use a lot of them.
Please do not say FREE when they are not. Are these sites legally hosting books or are they stolen from authors? Most of us recommend that straight away because this e-book has good vocabulary that may increase your knowledge in vocab, easy to understand, bit entertaining but nonetheless delivering the information. This great information can drawn you into new stage of crucial pondering. Through his play, and through his approach to life, Daigo changes the way people think about the game, and inspires even his enemies to new heights.
This is what separates a mere winner from an all-time great. Today, he is the Grand Master of fighting games and true inspiration to players worldwide. This is my chance to tell you how I became World Champion and share insights as only a multiple time World Champion can.
