David R. Ibarra sets September book release with companion documentary

David R. Ibarra will release The Power to Think, The Power to Rise on Sept. 14, 2026, with a companion documentary planned for late 2026. The book and film center on four entrepreneurs and a shared dinner conversation about the thinking that shaped their lives.

Why it matters: - The project packages a book and documentary around a simple theme: how thought shapes outcomes in business and life. - The release targets readers, viewers, and leadership audiences looking for stories about resilience, success, and personal change. - The book also extends David R. Ibarra’s broader message through Lĭve Ready® and his leadership work.

What happened: - David R. Ibarra announced the Sept. 14, 2026 release of The Power to Think, The Power to Rise. - The book will be available in paperback and eBook starting that date. - eBook pre-orders are already open. - A companion documentary is set to premiere in late 2026. - The book follows Ibarra, Mickey Ibarra, Dr. José Antonio Calzada, and Lionel Sosa. - The documentary includes the dinner conversation that closes the book and opens the film.

The details: - Each man gets his own section in the book. - The narrative tracks the choices and thinking that carried the four men from modest beginnings to later success. - The final chapter centers on a shared dinner. - At that dinner, Ibarra asks the others: What would you tell your eighteen-year-old self, if you could? - David R. Ibarra is author and founder and chief visionary officer of the Lĭve Ready® Institute. - Ibarra said the four men share stories of how proper thinking changed their lives. - Ibarra also said thought is not limited by language, borders, race, or background, and that people can rise above their circumstances when they learn to think accurately.

Between the lines: - The book’s structure turns one conversation into both a closing chapter and a film opening scene, which gives the project a built-in narrative hook. - The message reflects Ibarra’s long-running focus on mindset, leadership, and self-direction rather than a traditional business memoir. - The project also reinforces the Lĭve Ready® brand as a platform for publishing and personal development.

What's next: - The paperback and eBook release on Sept. 14, 2026. - The documentary is scheduled to premiere in late 2026. - Media interviews and podcast requests are being handled through Magi Driscoll at the Lĭve Ready® Institute. - Background information is available through Gwen Bristol at Lĭve Ready® Publishing. - More information is available from Lĭve Ready® Studio and Lĭve Ready® Institute.

The bottom line: - The release aims to turn a leadership philosophy into a cross-format story about how thinking shapes destiny.
