My readers know that I am a lover of memoirs and it is not always easy to find an inspiring memoir. And thanks God, I found it this time. It is a memoir by Robert Iger, ex-CEO of Disney and I liked the flow of the book with the real-time cases. Out of this book, I have even created 2 blog posts for my personal blog. If interested, you can also have a look at them:

Prologue
Something will always come up. At its simplest, this
book is about being guided by a set of principles that help nurture the good
and manage the bad. I was reluctant to write it for a long time. Until fairly
recently, I even avoided talking publicly about my “rules for leadership” or
any such ideas, because I felt I hadn’t fully “walked the walk.” After
forty-five years, though—and especially after the past fourteen—I’ve come to
believe that I have insights that could be useful beyond my own experience.
