Evaluate Appertaining To Books Taking the Lead: Lessons from a Life in Motion

It's always interesting to learn about other people and the obstacles they have overcome and still overcome to be the person they are today!

Of course like any one else in the world, I am familiar with who Derek Hough is. In fact, my one co-worker and I like to talk Dancing with the Stars (DWTS). So I wanted to read this book. First off what I learned but already knew is that Derek is humble, kind, a hard-worker, and talented. In essence, Derek is just like the person you see on television. This is so refreshing. A big part of this comes from his family upbringing. For example there was a quote by his mother that I liked:"Derek, I

Felt like Hough asked people to write about what they liked about him instead of providing more of how he got where he is now. His story is good, but it got old when each chapter had a person writing about how great Hough is.

I'm a huge fan of DWTS and Derek Hough, which is why I read this book. It was surprisingly well written, and interesting, although I would have preferred more "behind the scenes" details, which were lacking.

4 stars . Loved the early stories of young Derek growing up in Utah and then London. His relationships with his family and friends and the glimpse into his DWTS partners. Reading it you know why he's a winner. Positive mind set, flexibility and taking charge to overcoming obstacles for himself and his partners. I would love to let him lead me on the dance floor.

Words of wisdom from The Celebrity Whisperer.If you've watched the popular reality competition, Dancing with the Stars, then you're aware of Derek Hough. He is an extraordinarily gifted dancer and award-winning choreographer. But that's not all he is. Mr. Hough also possesses a virtually preternatural skill for pulling remarkable performances out of skittish famous people. Actors, singers, comedians, athletes - those who, for the most part, got skunked by an agent into signing on - find their

I can't believe how much I loved this book! I've seen Derek on DWTS, and I'm not surprised to find him so inspirational. It takes a special kind of person to focus on the positive and bring out the best in other people. He covers everything from conquering your fears to being a leader - even exercise and nutrition. Keep on doing what you're doing, Derek! The world needs more positivity! My only complaint was the book was too short :-)
