Lars Anderson | BRADY w/ Ira Kaufman

Author Lars Anderson will be in conversation with Ira Kaufman, discussing his new book, BRADY. BRADY An American Story and the Price of Greatness by Lars Anderson About the book: Based on years of in-depth reporting and sources from every corner of his life, Brady is the definitive biography of the life, career, and retirement of one of football’s most legendary figures, Tom Brady. Lars Anderson New York Times bestselling author and former Sports Illustrated journalist, plunges into Tom Brady’s childhood to discover the origins of what Brady later described as his “sickness”: his category-five obsession with the game. The obsession dictated every choice Brady made, from what foods he ate to how he managed his day-to-day schedule to how he viewed his role as father to his three children and husband to supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The book: From more than 350 original interviews with people who know the quarterback on and off the field, Anderson paints a detailed psychological portrait of Tom Brady, a self-described loner whose life is defined by discipline, resilience, a fascination with preparation, an intolerance for wasted time, and a relentless pursuit of the extraordinary. What he finds is a man riddled with contradiction, defined by both a prolific career of unmatched success on the field and the agonizing cost of greatness in his personal life. Brady is a comprehensive view of the life of the most accomplished player in the history of America’s game. Anderson digs deep behind the headlines to provide a richly detailed answer to one of the most vexing questions in sports: Who, really, is Tom Brady? Neither Brady nor his familiy participated in this book, which makes it more impartial.
