Publisher's summary

Pete Buttigieg demonstrates how a breakdown of trust is central to our nation’s current predicament - and how our future depends on finding ways to instill confidence in the American project, and in each other.

Trust is the essential foundation of America’s democracy, asserts Pete Buttigieg, former presidential candidate and best-selling author of Shortest Way Home. In a century shaped by terrorism, financial collapse, Trumpist populism, global pandemic, and systemic racism, trust - in our government, corporations, experts, and, most tragically, in one another - has precipitously eroded and, for so many, never existed in the first place.

Recognizing that we are now experiencing disastrous consequences, the former South Bend mayor offers a direct reckoning with the corruption of social responsibility, interweaving history, political philosophy, and affecting passages of memoir, offering a new outlook for how we can confront the next decade’s challenges by building accountability. In this urgent work, Buttigieg confirms his status as a visionary political thinker.

I trust Pete.

Pete Buttigieg has solidified himself as a critical voice in our current political dialogue. He has a way of speaking about heavy issues like restoring our democracy or trust in institutions in a way that makes the heady feel hearty. He’s a leader I trust.

A Trustful Man

When Mayor Pete was running for president, I felt hope. I more I found out about him I believed then and now that this man should one day be president of this country. Trust gave me an even clearer picture of this man. He, for me, has the attributes of a great president. Educated, intelligent,well spoken, kind, humble, but a strong man. Great book. Thank you.

Truth Equals Trust

I almost forgot how gratifying it is to listen to an intelligent speaker.

The speech at the end brought back great memories of Pete's rallies that I was lucky enough to attend twice.

The Book America Needs

Any time I listen to Pete, my blood pressure immediately goes down. He’s so thoughtful and kind in how he approaches his fellow citizens and I wish we had more like him in public service. The book was a deep dive into how the U.S. government lost the trust of its citizens, its moral standing in the world and how we can go about rebuilding it. It’s a powerful read filled with hope for the future if we put in the hard work. Absolutely loved it.
