Summary

Read by Jake Wood, featuring Ronnie O'Sullivan. This audiobook includes an exclusive interview between Ronnie and Tom Fordyce.

Shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book of the Year

In a career spanning over three decades, Ronnie O'Sullivan's journey to becoming the greatest snooker player of all time has been filled with extremes.

A teenage snooker prodigy, Ronnie turned professional with the highest of expectations. This pressure, together with a challenging personal life, catapulted Ronnie into a life of excess and addiction. He was winning titles - his first within a year of turning professional - but losing himself and his game as he tried to block out the mental pain and misery. Whilst Ronnie appeared at the height of the game to spectators, these were the moments when he felt at his lowest.

In the year 2000 Ronnie started rehab and began the journey to get his life back, addressing his demons and working on developing a stronger and more resilient mindset. More than twenty years on, Ronnie is still obsessed with delivering his peak performance and never happier than when in a snooker hall, but success has now taken on a new meaning for the record-equalling world champion.

Framed around the many lessons Ronnie has learned from his extraordinary career, Unbreakable takes us beyond the success and record-breaking achievements to share the reality - and brutality - of making it to the very top, whatever your field. Ronnie is the first to say he doesn't have all the answers, but in sharing the experiences that have shaped him and mistakes that have made him, he hopes to help readers navigate their own personal challenges and obstacles, and in turn reach their maximum potential.

This is Ronnie O'Sullivan as you've never seen him before, the definitive and unflinching story of a true British icon and a fascinating insight into the mindset of the world's greatest snooker player.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Good insight

I really enjoyed the first two thirds or so, then it started to feel a bit tedious and repetitive. Would recommend for fans, but don't expect to be blown away. I did really like his insights on addiction and mental health though, those are probably where this title is its most interesting

Decent

Enjoyed the first half bit got a little repetitive in places. Big Ronnie fan would have been good to have him narrate the full book. Best of luck for the coming season

Almost a self help book

A fantastic insight into the mind of Ronnie O’Sullivan the snooker player and even better insight to the man himself. I found this book almost a self help book as there’s so much you can take from it and digest and then use yourself. Excellent read

Be who you are meant to be, stay true to yourself!

A great book for both fans of Ronnie and people just wanting a bit of reassurance, and encouragement about life in general.

Some great insights into the chimp paradox too which is a must read, for anyone trying to understand why we act like we do sometimes!

I enjoyed hearing about the sacrifice and attention to detail, and the commitment it takes to become a world champion, But also about the human side of it all. I'm sure people needing it will get a great deal from this book with regards managing the daily struggles of any endeavour or just life itself!

No one is perfect, and having a purpose, and asking yourself honest questions, and giving yourself honest answers, is a great way to manage yourself, and in turn makes life that bit more enjoyable, and takes away the unnecessary pressures that this modern life puts us under constantly!

Excellent

I loved this book, an insightful and helpful book. He talks about snooker, his strategy, in depth view of games/match highlights from his own point of view. Enjoyed, the narrator was perfect too.
