About this listen
Read by John McEnroe and Patty Smyth.
He is one of the most controversial sportsmen in history and a legend of Open Era tennis. But after reaching the top of his game - what came next? A decade after his international number-one best seller Serious, John McEnroe is back and ready to talk.
Now the undisputed elder statesman of tennis, McEnroe has won over his critics as a matchless commentator and analyst at Wimbledon and other Grand Slam tournaments - with outspoken views on the modern game and its top players. He has continued to compete on the court, winning the ATP Champions Tour a record six times, and has travelled the globe to play in charity events.
More surprising have been the calls from TV producers, inviting John to riff on his famous hot temper in cult shows such as 30 Rock and Curb Your Enthusiasm. And then there is his longstanding passion for American contemporary art.
In But Seriously John McEnroe confronts his demons and reveals his struggle to reinvent himself from ex-champion to father, broadcaster and author. The result is a richly personal account, blending anecdote and reflection in an inspirational reevaluation of what it means to be - and stay - successful.

Now I understand the man
A great insight into the real man. I formed opinions of John McEnroe on what I sore on a tennis court. I never loved or hated him. But listening to his wife ( whom I do love her work) talk about the man he really is. His honesty and sincerity through out the book and the fact that he is a work horse with ridiculous schedules. I now have a new understanding and admiration for the man.
John, I now call myself a fan.
Thank you

Brilliant
A great Insight into the super brat. Revealing honest and transparent, the man behind the tennis tantrums seems to be a great guy.

Self big noting
Just a book of one person’s opinion about how awesome he is, or should be seen as by others. I got sick of it all by a third through. It’s like overhearing a drunk bragging about how much he can drink and how many people he’s friends with. Just a poor attempt at something slightly interesting. Not worth a cent of my time. I didn’t listen to his first book, now I’ve no interest in doing so.

Love John McEnroe but this was crap
It was all old news. Not much new and different. Maybe I know too much . There was I felt a total lack of insight. This was boring … maybe I expected too much from the best ever tennis player (ever).

waste of money
After reading Tatum O'Neil's book, I was interested in what was John's side of the story.
Self indulgent commentary boring bla bla...
