Chapters such as the acquisition of Pixar are written with the sort of nail-biting edge of your seat intensity that would make thrillers envious. Who knew board room meetings and phone calls could be so exciting? I think Bob Iger struck the perfect balance of personal and professional. A genuinely interesting and surprising personal touch was his relationship with Steve Jobs, I had no idea how close the two were. As someone&#8217;s who&#8217;s followed every move Disney has made for years and been in awe of Bob Iger&#8217;s ability to navigate the evolving media landscape and make calculated acquisitions to position Disney at the top, this book was an invaluable inside\/behind the scenes look at how so many defining deals went down. His personal journey chronicling his 45 year rise to the most powerful man in entertainment was also a marvel and came with some valuable insights, lessons and exciting &#8220;how will he make this happen&#8221; moments. I loved the summary of his wisdom at the end. I loved this book and a must read.
