\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

Are you looking for a good book to read?\u00a0 Do you want to live your dream? \u00a0The Wisdom of Walt<\/a> written by Dr. Jeffrey Barnes is a wonderful book to teach you about the story behind the creation of Disneyland, and can simultaneously serve as your handbook for life as you yearn to live a life of achieving your dreams.<\/p>\n

The Wisdom of Walt<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Dr. Barnes wrote this book to be used as a textbook for a college course to teach students about history. \u00a0Not just any old history lesson, but the history of Disneyland and how one man’s dream changed the world.\u00a0 Walt’s dream and his vision should be viewed as lessons you can implement into your own life. \u00a0Why do we have to work in a job that we don’t love? \u00a0Why shouldn’t we do what makes us happy? \u00a0Yes, it sounds easy on paper, but you really can live your dream if you take the first step out of your comfort zone and try to live by these values.<\/p>\n

Jeff’s book has actionable items you can take. \u00a0You can write in the book, yes, I did really say that, because there are pages in the book that tell you to write down your goals, and your dream, and the action items you will take to lead into that direction. \u00a0He also has summary sections in each chapter with takeaways.<\/p>\n

About Jeff<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jeff and his wife are wonderful people! \u00a0I had the honor of meeting them when I was at the Disneyland Half Marathon weekend. \u00a0He was having dinner with a friend in the park so we made it a point to meet up and get a picture together and finally meet in person. \u00a0My dream is to go back to Disneyland and have a tour of the park with Jeff. \u00a0There are so many nuggets of information that he shared in his first book about what Walt envisioned when he built the park. \u00a0Since this was the only theme park he was alive to walk in, it does have a special feeling about it. \u00a0When I visited the park, I wanted to look for those special places and view the park through Walt’s eyes. \u00a0Jeff’s book gives you the ability to look at the park like Walt saw it.<\/p>\n

In addition to providing tours at the park, Jeff also does public speaking engagements. \u00a0 He is a motivational, memorable and magical keynote speaker and you can watch some of his videos on his website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get the Book!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you haven’t read it already, you MUST get this book! \u00a0You can order it from Jeff’s website as an autographed version or it is also available on Amazon<\/a> or for your kindle. \u00a0Write in it, highlight the pages, use it as your new handbook for your life. \u00a0What will you do to live your dream?<\/p>\n

Jeff has just finished his second book, “Beyond the Wisdom of Walt<\/a>” which was released on October 1. \u00a0I had the privilege to read the preview copy of the book and loved it just as much as the first. You won’t be disappointed with it either!<\/p>\n
