I haven't read either one of these but they look great. Has anyone read them? One better than the other?

Does this winning life address why his son killed himself?

I don't see where he's directly responsible for that. People live their own lives and need to take responsibility for them. I also don't understand using every bit of minutia to discredit someone. We've all made mistakes and had hard times. But maybe that's just me.
Has anyone read the books?

I'm not attempting to discredit him. I'm asking if it covers that.
Seems important if the one person you raised to live life your way kills himself.
Maybe he has an explanation.

They are good books. If I had to choose I would go with the first one. He doesn't explain why his son killed himself. I am not sure he knows why. Good books anyway. There are a few people I would like to talk to and Tony Dungy is one of them.

I'm halfway through Uncommon now and it's pretty good. He talks about how to not fall prey to a lot of things that men succumb to. It seems aimed mostly at young men at about university age, though. For older men, I think Steve Farrar's books are better.
