John Beyer is the founder and owner of Men on the Move, one of the East Coast's premier moving and self-storage companies. While although John's journey to the top of the moving game has brought him incredible success, the ride up was a bumpy one. From the dark stairwells of LeFrak City, to the Manhattan discos of 1970s, to the dive bars of Long Island and the truck cabs of a man on the move, Beyer's highs and lows have been as extreme as the personality that got him in and out of trouble along the way.Live a Little Better: One Man's Journey of Survival, Sobriety, and Success (Worth, 2025) is the story of a talented kid in an alcoholic household, an alcoholic young adult himself turned entrepreneur, a recovering addict whose life was saved by AA, and the devoted parent of a child with special needs. Above all, it is a story of perseverance, discernment, and transformation.If you have a child with special needs or have ever struggled with addiction, directly or indirectly, Live a Little Better speaks to you as a peer. Beyer will make you believe in success against the odds, in hope in the face of adversity, in rising above a broken home. You never know what crisis will teach you. No matter your circumstances or mistakes, John Beyer's incredible life is proof that you too have every chance to live a little better. Learn more about your ad choices.
