Among the best political autobiographies I've read. Buttigieg is a gifted writer who grounds his own story in distinctly American themes. But he then expands his story to show a template for how he thinks about governing, and the result left me feeling hopeful at a time when most political discussions leave me frustrated (or worse).
Grateful that he took the time to capture his thoughts on what a political rebirth can look like in America. Highly recommended read to imagine what governing in the 21st century could look like.
