SALT LAKE CITY -

The Larry H. Miller Group of Companies — a group that includes the Larry H. Miller Dealerships, among many other business entities — announced the release of “Behind the Drive: 99 Stories from the Life of an American Entrepreneur” on Friday, a collection of stories passed down about Larry H. Miller and written by his son, Bryan Miller.

According to the company, the book is the fulfillment of a promise that Bryan Miller made to his father prior to his passing away in 2009 due to complications from type II diabetes: to learn from his father’s successes and shortcomings and to share those lessons.

“The stories have the power to lift and inspire the next generation of leaders, as well as help everyone discover Larry’s formula for success: Do work you love, get better at it every day and serve others,” Miller said.

“Behind the Drive” contains 99 stories from the lesser-known aspects of Larry H. Miller’s life, including a forward from Mitt Romney as well as contributions from retired NBA commissioner David Stern; former Utah governor Jon Huntsman, Jr.; former Utah governor and administrator of the EPA Michael O. Leavitt; former NBA players Jerry Sloan, John Stockton and Karl Malone; and religious figure Elder M. Russell Ballard.

In conjunction to the book’s release, the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies has donated $100,000 to support the Stop Diabetes movement.

Following Larry H. Miller’s own autobiography, ”Driven: An Autobiography,” his son’s collection of stories about his father’s life was released for sale on Friday and is available for purchase online at Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble as well as in-person at Deseret Book stores.
