Book review WARNING

Sooner or later it becomes crystal clear. Life is not a dress rehearsal.

“WARNING: Jeff Noel’s book “Mid Life Celebration” is a short read that very well may change your life. I had started reading it while on a long drive, but was so moved that I finished reading it out loud to my wife . It challenged us to consider our choices and to discuss the choices that we have made, both individually, and as a couple.
This book comes with my HIGHEST recommendation. This would be an excellent resource for couples discussion groups and book clubs. I personally bought multiple copies to pass along to my close friends.”

Book review Mid Life Celebration

Disney Keynote Speaker Jeff Noel wearing a goofy hat at a media interview
Random photo edit (by accident) yesterday. Media interview in South America, Pre-Covid. Trying to balance the seriousness of my speech with the fun of wearing a Goofy hat on camera afterwards.

Every person is telling a story about what they value.

Truly, we hate to admit that we have fallen behind in slaying our regrets. This book promises to gently, directly, and lovingly challenge you to put up or shut up. Here’s another Amazon review…

“This book is short, sweet and goes straight to the point. The author is correct…life is not a dress rehearsal…it is a live performance and we are the lead actors so we better make it count. In his very direct and bluntly honest way the author enlightens us to what we should already know and see but miss due to our own ‘on the go’ lifestyles. This book provides us with a framework to self assess where we are today, where we want to be in the future, and if we’re not already there, make a plan to get there. I recommend it to people of all ages.”

So what Disney

Can vividly recall the moment i first drew this and shared with a Disney Institute class.

When i first joined Disney Institute, no facilitators where balancing our Pixie Dust with our reality.

Book review…

“When you read something that rings true, you realize you have known it for a long time. But like too many aspects of our lives, we forget the important truths as we deal with the effects of our immediate, and often unimportant, challenges. Jeff’s book, through engaging and concise chapters, provides that checklist of important truths that will encourage us to love getting up each morning to see where our mid life (or later life or early life!) celebration will lead us. This is a book that will guide you at any age, but please don’t wait to get any older to read it!”

Did you watch, and love, Pixar’s SOUL? Fantastic Disney storytelling. It documents one person’s Mid Life Celebration. What if the Universe invented wakeup calls for transformation, not destruction? Here’s another book review…

“This is a truly inspiring and light hearted book that brings us back to what we know but may have been too busy with life to focus on and think about. Those values in life that help us see the beauty and strength in ourselves, others and the world. Two statements resonate very strongly with me from this book – “Life is not a dress rehearsal”, and “Hello, may I please speak to the owner of your life?” Two very simple statements, yet they speak volumes and can refresh my soul every time I think of them. And they relate to so many aspects of life.

Thank you Jeff for the inspiration, it is a truly upliftng book!”
