The #Steelers and #ThisIsUs have been linked from go... Jim Rooney was kind enough to send me the book he wrote about his father, Dan. A fascinating read (and great holiday gift!) #ADifferentWayToWin https://t.co/nx9HfZK3Uv [source]

Got to meet Jim Rooney at the @steelers game last week. Great guy, great family. He wrote a book about his dad, Dan Rooney, called @ADiffWay2Win. I've always been fascinated about what it takes to achieve success. Excited to read: https://t.co/VHrLM0VGO3 #DMR #ADifferentWaytoWin https://t.co/RFGUHnfygk [source]

Tim O’Brien is one of our great modern American authors (he also wrote multiple episodes of the @MiloVentimiglia This Is Us Vietnam storyline last season). His new book “Dad’s Maybe Book” is for sale now and it’s a total knockout. Do not wait. #ThisIsUs https://t.co/WAgUEJRYRW [source]
