Summary
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.

A great way to learn more about the legend.
Congratulations to Pat Williams and Jim Denney on this masterpiece of work.
I have read several books about Walt Disney and watched multiple biographies. There always seemed to be missing pieces.
The authors look into who Walt was, his history and how he ticked, how he was the ultimate salesman, his views on society/religion/ethics and how he was only interested in making the world his happy place.
I'll be listening again.
Well done Paul Christy on a great narration.

An incredible life and an example to us all!
I throughly enjoyed this and was gripped from start to finish! I read a lot of books on positive thinking and entrepreneurship and the list of recommendations in that category rarely changes. This was an off the wall choice recommended to me by a friend and it smashed them all out of the park! What a gift this man was to our world, gone too soon but an amazing legacy. Well done Pat Williams and Jim Denney - I just bought two paperback copies as gifts.

A bit too preachy to my taste
Most of the book is alright to me but the author doesn't miss an opportunity to give his religious opinion. Other than that it is quite enjoyable and well written.

A Deep and Inspiring Tale
This has become my most favourite audiobook and story beyond all. It’s a bold comment to make but myself, like some many others, see a small part of ourselves in Walt Disney‘s life.
Through this audiobook I have been able to delve into Walt’s life and see the man behind the brand. A man who was a dreamer, a creator and a believer. He was ever so fortunate to have Roy in his life as Pat William and Jim Denny tells us that he did not care so much for money, but only for the means necessary to make his dreams come to life.
For me that is the greatest lesson of all in this book and in Walts life. In a world where we want to have so much and becomes so grand, we need the honest and real reassurance that all that Walt Disney had, and all that he become, all started, with a mouse.

What an amazing man from nothing
What an amazing man, great life lessons from someone who was given no head start in life, just grafted. Narrated very well also. Great lessons to apply to life... highly recommended!
