Do Life Differently by Jeff D. Reeter with Kris Bearss

 

 

There are a lot of leadership books out there so why read this one? This one is different. According to Jeff D. Reeter in Do Life Differently if you want to be a leader, you must first lead yourself. Do Life Differently is all about helping you become the best version of yourself that you can be, which will ultimately help you be a better leader.

Do Life Differently is divided in to 3 parts after an introduction written by Dr. Ben Carson and and introduction written by Jeff Turner. Part one is "Lead Yourself--choosing a life by design," Part two is "Your global position," and Part three is about planning the course and living the dream. Jeff Reeter is a successful businessman and leader who has guided himself and many others on the leadership path. He shares his experiences, as well as the experiences of others as examples. He includes exercises and information on guiding yourself to be a good leader through some paper exercises. 

There is a lot of good information in Do Life Differently. I found it be an enjoyable read with text that was easy to relate to and understand. I also liked the exercises and I think they could be very helpful to people looking to make the most out of their lives. I do wish that he had some illustrated examples in the book of how he set up his "Life Book" where he keeps all of his goals, dreams and other information that he talks about in Do Life Differently. I would have found that to be helpful as he indicates this is an important part of making changes in this book. I think it would be a good book to read for people of any age but especially helpful for young adults in their late teens and early twenties.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All opinions within this review are my own.
