You Can't Miss with a Title Like This!

Written by one of the animators on Disney's Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King, this is a wild and crazy look at the life of creativity. Hahn's joy in living and creating leaps from every page.But along with the humor, the book is full of solid advice on creativity. He talks about the scariness of taking risks, the frustration that can come when things aren't going right, the downright hard work of making a dream come true, and the amazing thrill when it all happens the way you dreamed it would.Packed with illustrations from Hahn's life (the dancing corn dogs are from an ad for the refreshment stand at a drive-in), humor, and inspiration, this is an inspirational read in the sense that it will inspire you to get up and get going to something creative. This is a great book!

Funny and enlightening

Don Hahn had an amazing way to get his message across. He told funny stories about his life, discussed interesting things about the world and supplied inspirational motivation by a subtle means (not cramming it down your throat or preaching it).This book really shows you that caring for your creative soul is just part of the balance of life that we all can't neglect. It not only deepens our talents but provides an introspective look at who you are and what the definition of your self you are trying to hold yourself to.And even if you don't see or get what I just mentioned, it will give you a few laughs and some good quotes.

Enlightened Fun

I found this book a wonderful one to have by the bed and read each night. Some of his stories are hilarious and the wisdom subtle but there for the taking. Five stars in every way.

Funny, enlightening, and great to read!

Don Hahn can write a book just as well as he can produce a movie! This book is quite a joy to read. It's up with the times, great to laugh at, and he writes on a level everyone can understand. If you want something to lighten your day, this book will certainly do just that.
