__karen__'s review against another edition
4.0
This autobiography describes Kasich's youth and entry into politics. Of course, he also shares his perspective about the 2016 presidential race. Kasich seems to see political office as an opportunity to serve rather than just a way to amass power. I'm curious whether he'll run in 2020. An interesting book about an interesting politician.

I picked up this book after hearing an interesting Axe Files interview with John Kasich:

If you're interested in Kasich's career history and his perspectives on the surreal 2016 GOP primary, this is the book for you.
If you're interested in the topic in the title of the book, however -- Kasich's views about different possibilities for the future of the U.S. -- that topic isn't addressed in detail until more than 75% into the book, and even then it's mostly a transcript of his 4/12/16 speech with the same title at the Women's National Republican Club.
I was hoping the book would cover its title topic in detail; hence the 2-star rating.
