Synopsis

Drawing on his own life and career and the rich lore of The Lion King, Alton Fitzgerald White, Broadway’s longest-running “King,” delivers his message of service—taking responsibility for and deriving happiness from commonplace achievements—as a philosophy that anyone can get through each day with satisfaction, pride, and a sense of accomplishment.If you’ve ever wondered how an actor can perform the same role hundreds of times without burning out, in White’s book you’ll meet someone who does it for thousands more with unabated joy and renewal of purpose.
