REVIEWS

“A successful life and career, I believe, require both an external and inner journey. In this book Russell shares his novel approach to designing both trips. The hard-earned insights captured in his five steps, reflect the humility it took to really get to know himself and the courage required to translate his potential into action.”

“Russell Benaroya’s powerful new book, One Life To Lead, is a compassionate and thoughtful guide to leadership success. His 5 Steps gives leaders a practical map for the journey and inspiration along the way."

"As an investor in thousands of startups through Techstars, I've seen time and time again the difference that effective leadership can make in the entrepreneurial journey. One Life to Lead perfectly captures the essential but often unspoken ingredients necessary for great leadership in one's own life as a prerequisite to leading others."

“Russell Benaroya has done the impossible here. He lays out a specific plan for how to design the life you want to live, the life you deserve to live, covering work, family, and relationships with a simple-to-understand, comprehensive framework. He doesn’t try to convince you by talking from on high, but rather by exposing his deepest vulnerabilities and sharing how not getting it right led to understanding and insight. Everyone can learn something important from this book, and I am going to start recommending it to people I care about tomorrow.”

"With One Life to Lead, Russell Benaroya helps us sidestep the oppressive and useless expectations many of us waste decades trying to exceed, toward a path of curiosity, joy, humility and purpose. He guides us to real success we feel and emanate. I could have used this book 20 years ago, and I am grateful for it now."

The introduction of “One Life to Lead” gives us some important clues about what we are about to read. Russell Benaroya’s vulnerability about his own life, both personal and professional, draws the reader to want to learn more about what has worked, (and not) for him in his life. A major take away for me was to not compromise our core principles. They carry us to the success we all look for. His step by step approach on how to live a good life is straight forward and applicable for everyone.”
