My Personal Best: Life Lessons from an All-American Journey by John Wooden with Steve Jamison

A Beverly Hills, Calif., sole practitioner, Foonberg wrote How to Start and Build a Law Practice, now in its fifth edition.

The Wizard of Westwood seems an unlikely hero for a lawyer, but Foonberg says that for him, that’s exactly what Wooden was. “He was a great influence on me, and his advice for living as found in his ‘Pyramid of Success’ would be of great value to any person at any time.”
