Great book- but not for me at this time of life! Passed in to Daughter-

Good advice for a young person

I think overall this is an excellent book. But in the beginning I felt this book would be great for young adults as the first 2-3 chapters seem to focus on late Highschool to college level. But then the next chapters centered on issues that is too inclusive so that this group will probably not finish the book. I will try to convince my 3 college age grand children to read the book as it helps them understand what really matters. There are so many great issues that are amplified but I don’t feel they will get the messages.

One other point is the total lack of interviewing the most successful modern day reporter. It is clear that Ms Perino did not want to interview the one person who has 50 years of experience should have been interviewed , Mr Bill O’Reilly. Yes he was taken down by Fox but his ability to help the millions of people with his nightly program is unsurpassed. He should have been consulted with some views that would help the book become a 5 star read. Perhaps he declined but should have at least been mentioned. Also Chris Como would have been an excellent commentator on a number of issues.

This is why I can’t give it more than 3 stars.

Being an avid Fox News viewer it was great to hear the perspective and stories of all the people I watch every day!

Retired but still great listening and very informative

I wanted to like this book. I’ve always been a fan of Dana’s but some of the voices sounded fake, forced and emotionless. If someone is going to offer advice to pray or share a Bible verse, it should have feelings conveyed. It just sounded so forced or scripted that they was it was read came across as sarcastic and fake. As such, it made this very hard to listen to and made me regret my purchase.

Voices sounded AI

Love Dana Perino, and was excited for this new release.

Narrated version is stiff, choppy. Not at all easy to listen to. Maybe the experience would have been different with reading the physical book…

Disappointed

Great advice
