Read this book first before getting involved in your next leadership role- or just read it now!!! — Cameron Herold, Founder COO Alliance & Second In Command podcast, Author of Vivid Vision, Former COO 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

"With the pace of change, societal divisiveness, technological advances and innumerable daily pulls on our time it certainly can seem as if our lives are completely out of our control. In Russell Benaroya’s timely book, One Life To Lead, he reminds us of the untapped and brilliant potential within each of our lives. Russell challenges us to clarify what matters most, embrace what we can influence, let go of all we can’t and be far more intentional in designing a life of true success. Read this book. Thank me later!”— John O’Leary, #1 National Bestselling Author of On Fire and In Awe

“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.” — Harry Strachan, Former Professor, Harvard Business School and Director Emeritus, Bain & Co.

"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." — David Cohen, Co-Founder and Chairman at Techstars

“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.” — Greg Gottesman, Co-founder and Managing Director, Pioneer Square Labs

"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." — Henry Albrecht, CEO, Limeade (a publicly traded global well-being company)
