My thoughts on Be The Giraffe
Chris Jarvis delivers a refreshing take on personal and professional growth in Be the Giraffe: 14 Paths to Reach Higher in Business and Life. By centering the book around the giraffe—a creature known for its ability to see above its surroundings—Jarvis cleverly uses this metaphor to guide readers toward clearer perspectives and more purposeful decision-making.
The book is structured around 14 paths, each offering a blend of practical advice and introspective exercises. Jarvis doesn’t just present concepts; he invites his readers to actively engage with their own lives and goals, making this more than a passive reading experience. His writing is approachable yet thought-provoking, striking the perfect balance between storytelling and actionable takeaways.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur navigating the complexities of running a business or someone looking to find greater satisfaction in life, the principles Jarvis shares feel universally applicable. I particularly appreciated his ability to simplify potentially overwhelming ideas into digestible, actionable steps. For example, his emphasis on the importance of maintaining perspective felt like a gentle nudge to zoom out and reassess priorities—something we all could use. I know I discovered many gems I can apply to my everyday life.
Perhaps, the book occasionally overuses motivational rhetoric. While the giraffe metaphor is effective, there are moments where the imagery feels stretched (like a giraffe’s neck, lol). That said, these instances are rare and don’t detract from the book’s overall impact.
I believe “Be the Giraffe: 14 Paths to Reach Higher in Business and Life is a compelling guide for anyone looking to elevate their life and career. It’s less about lofty ideals and more about empowering readers to take clear, intentional steps toward growth. If you’re feeling stuck or just looking for a new perspective, this book is worth a read.
I received a digital copy of the book as part of an iRead Promotional Book Tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion. Remember, this is just one reader’s opinion. Please grab a copy of the book to see how it resonates with your business and personal life.

Chris Jarvis has thirty years of experience helping millionaire entrepreneurs and billionaire families build and preserve wealth.Authoring eighteen books, appearing on Bloomberg Television, and being quoted in The Wall Street Journal exposed Chris to many successful and influential people. Along the way, he discovered the unusual paths to standing out and reaching the highest levels of success. After applying these lessons to build and sell his own firm, he learned that he must do things differently if he wanted to be wealthy, healthy, AND happy. The giraffe would lead him to stick his neck out to see things differently. “After making millions of dollars, and helping others do the same, I lost my younger sister and business partner unexpectedly, saw both parents diagnosed with incurable cancer, and spent four years and over a half million dollars in legal fees chasing down the money owed to me from the sale of my company. I pretended that things were OK, but they weren’t. I was stressed out, overweight, and my body was starting to reject me. When I tore my Achilles and hurt my back enough to require spine surgery, the signs were too much to ignore. There had to be a better way. My story of overwhelm must not be too uncommon – my TEDx Talk, “Surviving ain’t Thriving” has been viewed by 4.5 million people. I now help executives, entrepreneurs, and affluent families manage the complexities and interconnectedness of their money, their businesses, and their personal lives. As a partner in a venture studio, co-founder of Beyond Wealth, and investor in a game-changing crowdfunding portal, I have worked with thousands of entrepreneurs and professional advisors. Helping people Money Differently and Business Differently are invaluable keys to achieving a more fulfilling and enjoyable life. I proudly sit on the dean’s advisory council for the University of South Carolina School of Medicine—working toward delivering quality healthcare to underserved areas and underrepresented populations. I am also on the board of the prestigious IC2 Institute at the University of Texas-Austin, exploring economic development solutions for rural communities.”About Chris Jarvis
