How to Be Like Walt
How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life | Pat Williams, Jim Denney
2 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
An inspiring biography of one of the most influential and beloved figures of the 21st century, based on more than a thousand interviews. "I've read every book that has ever been written about Walt Disney, going back to some that were published in the 1930s. [How to Be Like Walt] is by far the most enjoyable to read of them all!" Tim O'Day, Disney Scholar "How to Be Like Walt is a fitting tribute to Walt's memory and an important contribution to the Disney legacy . . . Now more than ever, we need people with the qualities Walt had: optimism, imagination, creativity, leadership, integrity, courage, boldness, perseverance, commitment to excellence, reverence for the past, hope for tomorrow, and faith in God." Art Linkletter How to Be Like is a "character biography" series: biographies that also draw out important lessons from the life of their subjects. In this new book-by far the most exhaustive in the series-Pat Williams tackles one of the most influential people in recent history. While many recent biographies of Walt Disney have reveled in the negative, this book takes an honest but positive look at the man behind the myth. For the first time, the book pulls together all the various strands of Disney's life into one straightforward, easy-to-read tale of imagination, perseverance, and optimism. Far from a preachy or oppressive tome, this book scrapes away the minutiae to capture the true magic of a brilliant maverick.

Bailing on this book as I'm doing audio - I think I'd get on with it more in print.

1 🌟 for the bits I listened to.

I'll be honest. Walt Disney is a hero of mine. I have loved him and his work all my life. I cry when I hear stories about him or see pictures of his Disneyland. I just really loved this book. I personally think there was a bit too much religious aspects to it in some parts, but I want everyone to read it anyway. Every page is filled with personal stories that you won't read anywhere else. Loved it. I left this feeling closer to him.
