How to Be Like Walt

Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life

De: Pat Williams, Jim Denney

Narrado por: Paul Christy

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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"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

Loved it!

I love to study the life of Walt Disney. From his boyhood home in Marceline, Missouri to the majestic dream of Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. This audiobook was read very well and does contradict a few other things I have read about Uncle Walt. But overall, it’s in keeping with about 99% of what I believe to know about him from studying his life. I was brought to tears many times during this presentation.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s with The Wonderful World of Disney and always having a Disney movie in the VCR, Walt was always in our home even though he never physically stepped foot in it. He was taken from this earth too early.
I recommend this audiobook for anyone wanting to get a better understanding of who he was as a man, while simultaneously looking into themselves, figuring out how to be a better human being.

Loved it!

One of my favorites to inspire me in business and as a person! I now consistently think “what would Walt do” to strengthen me in decisions. Narrator is wonderful. Highly recommend!

excellent

A great look into Walt's life, outlook, and his life philosophy. There is much we can learn about how to live life gom Walt Disney and this book definitely helps guide you; however, I could have done without the biblical messages. Walt was a spiritual man and the author uses this to occasionally go off on his own mini sermon. Regardless, I still loved it and even got misty eyed when the author wrote about Walt' s death

Walt Disney....A True Gift from God.

May the lessons of Walt's life inspire us all to do our share to make this world a better place; may all the dreams God has planted in your heart come to pass. God bless.

Magical

Great combination of Disney biography and how-to. Got many great ideas from both bio and the distillation of the meaning behind the history. Great for someone who wants to start thinking bigger and taking more risks.

GREAT Book with a religious undertone

I thought it was a great book but I was surprised with the religious undertone

WOW!

It is long but if you like Disney and you like self improvement books you'll love this one. What an amazing man and amazing story. Go and dream.

it'll do

the story of Walt's life and the anecdotes and research was well put together. the only problem I had with this book was the authors repeated need to highlight anything Walt did positively in his life with his, the authors, personal beliefs in Christianity. Walter Elias Disney was a spiritual man and did not believe in organized religion and the need to go to church to prove you were a good person. he understood that a personal belief is just that, a personal belief. he was a true utopian believing that all Humanity should be able to coexist no matter your race, religion, sexual orientation, Financial class, and so on. you just needed to be a good person with a strong moral conviction and willingness to help others. it is a great book and Walt was a phenomenal man but please keep your views of God away from Walter Disney.

Amazing!

Hands down, this is the best Audiobook i have ever listened to. Walt Disney was an amazing man!

Loved it!!

I've admired Walt Disney ever since I was a little girl. His work was an inspiration to my career. But I've never read a more interesting Disney's biography than this. Such a well-told story. Strongly recommend.
