Blending philosophical sophistication with winsome appreciation of this feel-good comedy, the collection features original essays canvassing the breadth of the series and carefully considering the ideas it presents, including the goal of competition, mental health, sportsmanship, revenge versus justice, the importance of friendship, the imperative of respect for persons, humility, leadership, identity, growth, courage, journalistic ethics, belief, forgiveness, love, and just how evil tea is. In a nod to the show's many literary allusions, the compilation concludes with a whimsical appendix that catalogs the books most significant to Ted Lasso. - Covers the full breadth of the original Ted Lasso series - Explores every major character and all of the show's subplots and elements - Written in the spirit of the show, with in-jokes that will appeal to fans - Features an introduction that guides listeners through the book's materials - Includes Beard's Bookshelf, a bibliography of the most significant books shown or alluded to in the series
