About this listen

An inspiring biography of one of the most influential and beloved figures of the 21st century, based on more than 1,000 interviews.

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 audiobook 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-listen-to tale of imagination, perseverance, and optimism. Far from a preachy or oppressive tome, this audiobook scrapes away the minutiae to capture the true magic of a brilliant maverick.

I Enjoyed it

I've been interested in Walt Disney's life for much of my own, so there wasn't very much when it came to the biography aspects of this book that I didn't know in some shape or form. What I really liked was the format this book took by exploring aspects of Walt Disney's personal philosophies and psychology.

I really do think he was a genius and pioneer and the magic he had with people has never been replicated. I liked the overall positivity of this book (even if it did get a bit preachy in places which is really just a personal preference on my part) and much like Walt himself, the messages in this tome left me feeling determined and confident to find a way to conquer my own mountains.

Definately give it a read. If the motivational messages don't do it for you, it's also a very thorough biography of a very interesting man.
