Philadelphia Eagles star receiver A.J. Brown 's casual sideline reading during a playoff game has unexpectedly propelled a little-known self-help book to Amazon's best-seller list. Brown, known for his on-field prowess, was spotted flipping through the pages of Jim Murphy 's ' Inner Excellence ' instead of studying the playbook. This seemingly innocuous moment sparked a viral frenzy, propelling the book from obscurity to the top spot on Amazon's trending list.
Murphy, a former minor league outfielder for the Chicago Cubs, delved into the world of mental skills coaching after his playing career ended. He dedicated five years to researching and writing 'Inner Excellence,' aiming to help athletes, particularly baseball players, develop confidence under pressure. Brown, who had a remarkable season with 67 catches for 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns, credits the book's teachings with helping him navigate the mental demands of football. According to him, 'Inner Excellence' emphasizes the importance of mental clarity, risk-taking, and humility in achieving success. Brown explained that he often reads on the sideline to refocus after crucial plays, whether a touchdown or a dropped pass. He found solace in the book's message that a clear mind and a lack of self-consciousness are essential for performance. 'If I score a touchdown or drop a pass, it's something how I refocus,' Brown shared. 'I always revert back to the beginning of the book. It states if you can just have a clear mind and remember that nothing else matters, clear conscience, nothing matters negative or positive. You're willing to take risks. It also says if you're humble, you can't be embarrassed.' Murphy expressed his surprise and gratitude at the sudden surge in popularity for his book. He was unaware of Brown's reading until he noticed the book's ranking skyrocket on Amazon. 'I was not expecting that. A real gift,' Murphy said. 'I just looked at Amazon last night and it got to No. 1, so that was a surprise. It had probably never been higher than probably 8 or 9,000. In the thousands, somewhere.' The unexpected attention has brought 'Inner Excellence' to a wider audience, demonstrating the power of a simple act of reading and its potential to inspire and uplift
