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.

Critic reviews

"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."

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.

A great way to learn more about the legend.

Loved this book so much and the narrator was fantastic! Just didn't like all of the preaching in the last chapter!

Amazingly well researched!

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.

An incredible life and an example to us all!
