About this ebook

A success-driven CEO goes on a year-long journey of self-discovery in Bali in this memoir about rediscovering what’s truly important.
 
A hard-charging CEO of a large enterprise, Ben Feder discovers that he is losing the very things that sustained him over his years of business success. Unsettled by his insight, he becomes determined to rebuild family relationships and rejuvenate his sense of purpose. Risking his career, Feder left New York with his wife and children and set off on a self-prescribed sabbatical year. That experience transforms them all.
 
As Feder navigates the thrills and pitfalls of his time away, he draws readers into remarkable examinations of modern values and modern life. Take Off Your Shoes is Feder’s candid and personable account of a journey across the world, and within himself.

    I would dub this “Eat Pray Love for the Corporate Set”. While it’s interesting to see how one would go about preparing a family for an extended sabbatical from the hustle-and-bustle of life in Manhattan, I feel that this book wouldn’t resonate with the average American who cannot afford (in every way) such luxury. I did enjoy the different point of view of moving a family to Bali rather than traveling solo and it was interesting to see the changes in each family member during their stay abroad. I do hope that the author and his family were able to hold on to some of the lessons they learned overseas when they were state-side again and everything inevitably returned to normal. I believe this book definitely will find its intended audience, however I think it’s difficult for the common man to empathize with Mr. Feder’s story. I gave this book three stars. I received this e-book in exchange for an honest review from Netgalley and Radius Book Group.
