Do Life Differently: A Strategic Path Toward Extraordinary by Jeff D. Reeter Book Review

In Do Life Differently, Jeff D. Reeter explored the topic of learning to lead yourself first, where in turn you can lead others more effectively. He begins the book by sharing a story about how he was lost in the wilderness when he was on a hunt to find the elusive elk in the high country of the Uncompahgre National Forest in Colorado. He shared his experience and how he was able to find his way back to the campsite. Later on, he shared what he learned from being lost and how he eventually took professional guided hunts and gained in knowledge. He was also able to learn to lead himself and how he always tries to enjoy the adventure of the trip. He explained to readers on how we need to strive to be extraordinary in our businesses, family, relationships, health, and overall life. Many of us are settling for being just an ordinary spouse, employee, friend, church member, and health. Jeff encouraged readers to take inventory of how God has made each of us unique. We need to discover our passions, experiences, skills, and talents and use them to reach our best authentic self. He opened up about how readers can get unstuck in life and how we can move from a life of survival to a life of significance. 

 

 

 

 

I would recommend this amazing book to anyone who is ready to live an extraordinary life and they are ready to live their life in a different way. I liked how Jeff choose to focus on a different aspect of leadership. He shared the importance of leading yourself first. This is something that many other leadership books incline to not look at. I also enjoyed how he encouraged readers to create their own master action plan that will help you to reach your five-year vision you’re moving towards. I immensely enjoyed how he shared a story about what he learned while leading a signature talk session with a group of college students. One of the activities, he asked them to do was write down their future dreams for their marriage, vocation, health, spiritual growth, and community involvement. He also tried it with adults in their 40s and 50s. The adults tend to complain and get irritated. The younger students tend to dream and write down their dreams. He discovered the main difference is that older adults have already had life crush some of their dreams and some chose to follow the crowd. I liked how he explained how readers can achieve a life of significance at any age and in this book, he will guide readers into doing just that.
