Publisher's summary

Hear firsthand from multitudes of people whose lives were influenced, inspired, and even transformed by the compassion, generosity, and leadership of Larry H. Miller.

Larry H. Miller played by his own rules. Owner of an NBA franchise and founder of one of the country's largest automotive retail groups, Larry was a college dropout who went on to buy or build nearly 100 businesses. While his life as a successful businessman played out in public, his health challenges, as well as his quiet acts of service, were known to very few.

Behind the Drive contains 99 uplifting and untold stories from every aspect and era of Larry's life. Contributors range from NBA legends to religious officials, business moguls to political leaders, employees to childhood friends, and colleagues to competitors.

These stories of an ordinary-yet-extraordinary man will inspire listeners to find and live their own greatness by following Larry's example of working hard at something he loved, applying his God-given talents in service to others, and allowing his life to be guided by something greater than himself. This book is a guide for anyone who wishes to find success in today's busy world.

The stories in Behind the Drive have the power to lift and inspire the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs, as well as help everyone discover Larry's formula for success: do work you love, get better at it every day, and serve others.

Larry Miller left it all on the field

I can’t remember the last time I was so inspired by singular individual; especially one began in such ordinary circumstances. But true meaning to the phrase “excellence in the ordinary“. Eventually nothing about what Larry did was ordinary. Personality, his generosity, and his drive are some of the attributes that I wish to emulate most. I love the different voices for the different stories. I love the heart and soul that was poured into this book. Truly a worthwhile read!

I can’t give this book enough stars.

I’ll read this book again. And again. I cannot recommend this book enough. This very personalized book conveys many different aspects of this gentleman’s character, both business and personal and as a part of the society around him which was affected by his decisions and accomplishments. Periodically a book with cast a brief light on a point of view and way of looking at life that I’d not previously considered/observed. This is definitely one of those books. I bought it for entrepreneurship but ultimately I think it’s a book that provides an example of what is possible and, therefore, a book with the capacity to educate someone in personal growth and development. Audible doesn’t seem to carry the book “Driven,” the autobiography of Larry Miller, but I’m going to Amazon to find the book because I strongly believe that here indeed is a life worth studying. I bought this book, I read it (listened to it), I’m glad I bought it, I’d buy it again, I strongly recommend it. I’m a little older (approaching 60) and not typically easily emotional, but there were a few times when this book made me cry; especially the last chapter written by his wife (the book was produced by his son). This book gives an example of a life well lived and his impact, both dramatic and subtle, on the community (in Utah), the nation, and with reverberations around the world. I wish I could’ve met him.

Larry H Miller A Legacy worth learning from.

I have read and listened to lots of books on personal development, leadership, and business. None of them has made me take stock of my life like this one. Grateful to a family that is willing to share the whole truth and be so transparent. Now it is up to you and me to create our legacy.

Amazing impact during a short life

Such an inspirational catalog of stories. We could all take something away from the tributes and tales of an amazing man that touched so many people. I loved listening to every moment.

Insights into the life of a unique man.

I learned about business and life reading this book and was touched by its authenticity and honesty. If you wish you could have gotten advice from the great community builder of our time, odds are the advice you want is in this book. Humbled that it’s offered at so little cost but that’s just like the Miller family. Thanks for inviting us to share these moments with you.

I didn’t know Larry H Miller

But now I do. There is so much beauty in the man and in his friends and in everyone that got to know him. After just a few hours I feel like Larry was a personal friend and someone I have known for years. Thank you so much to his family for producing this book and for sharing such intimate moments.
