The lessons he shares about business, leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and family are priceless.

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. VERY enjoyable read! By Bradley Evans This book is a heartwarming and fascinating trip through most of the 20th and into the 21st century. It has so many stories that we can all relate to and once again reminds us of what our parents, grandparents and even great grand parents went through. It reminds us that almost any challenge can be overcome and that the only failure is giving up. Interesting and fun read.

A Real Feel Good Story By John Chancellor It is very interesting to reverse engineer a successful product or life story and try to figure out the process that lead to the success. In a sense, Walter’s Way can be thought of reconstructing the life of Walter Scherr to uncover the steps that lead to a remarkably successful life.Walter’s Way is a memoir of the life of Walter Scherr. He was not born with any special talents, did not come from a historically significant family and did not attend one of the Ivy League schools. Yet he lived a remarkable life. I would say that by any measure you choose to rate his life, it was a success.Instead of going off to fight in WWII like all his friends, he spent his early years in a TB hospital. After successfully surviving the TB scare – which in those days was quite the feat – he went to work for a defense contractor Sperry. His field was accounting, but he quickly was promoted into management. There was not anything particularly notable about his success. In part it was being at the right place at the right time, having the right attitude and doing whatever the job demanded. So the big lesson to be learned is that opportunities happen all the time. It is up to us to be prepared and to accept the challenge to make the most of the opportunity.After Sperry, Walter got into a newly emerging business – the Fax machine. Here he used is extensive network of contacts to quickly build the business. Unfortunately, he Japanese partners were not as trustworthy as he had thought. He should have earned much more money from the adventure but he learned and moved on.Walter also made a movie, got into renting videos for use on tanker vessels and finally the hi-tech business.What is so remarkable about his life is that he was able to function successfully in a wide variety of industries. Walter had no special advantages. He was honest, hard-working and took care of all the people helping him achieve success. He displayed outstanding leadership qualities no matter the company or the circumstances.The book is very conversational and easy to read. It starts a bit slow, spending a little too much time on his youth and the TB hospital. But the pace picks up nicely once he enters Sperry.If you enjoy reading a feel-good story about an everyday person who creates an extra-ordinary life, then you will certainly enjoy this book.I was provided a review copy of this book.

If you enjoy inspiring auto biographies Walters Way is a must read By steven hirsch If you enjoy inspiring auto biographies Walters Way is a must read. Tom Brokaw describes this time era as the finest generation and is hard to disagree. Walter takes us back to a time where life was both simpler and much harder. His journey begins in ozone park just another family trying their best to survive day to day. A staggering blow is dealt while enlisting for WW II , making the odds of Walter having any success quite improbable never mind living through this ordeal.Overcoming unimaginable living conditions, Walter survives and begins his entry to the business world, where we follow a career that is breathtaking. His rapid rise in the corporate world is only exceeded by the entrepreneurial drive he shows latter in his career. His drive and spirit take him to places one would never imagine. Anybody who has ever raised money or has been an investor will identify strongly with the ups and downs of being a deal-maker. In this regard Walter was a bit ahead of his time. Younger generations will enjoy seeing what it takes and can learn much from this world class schmoozer from Queens.You've got to admire somebody who stays in the same house for 50+ years preferring the simpler lifestyle of friends and family rather then mansions and country clubs. Walter has simple core values that still resonate in today's world.Much to be learned and admired in this book. making sure my son reads it. Highly recommend .
