Fascinating insights and great storytelling. One of my favorite biographies. I'm very appreciative Romney shared so much to make this possible.
I hate politics in general, so I was shocked to find myself binge listening to this in less than 24 hours. I neither love nor despise Mitt, but this was fascinating.
5/5
This was a phenomenal read. It's subject was not only fascinating and topical, but it was well-paced and structured.
While the lessons mentioned in the epilogue specifically mentioned other politicians, I think Romney's life is a lesson for all us. Power has the ability to corrupt, but self-awareness is your best defence.

Interesting view of the political BTS. I like that some things were more critical of Romney, but good at making you think.

Just for the record, I’m not for or against Mr. Romney, and this review is more about the contents of this work than about its subject. I always find it hard to rate biographies/autobiographies because it feels like a judgement of the person.
Having said that, I would give this a 3.5, rounded up here.
It was interesting to see our country’s recent history unfold and what Mr. Romney’s take on it all was. In my opinion, I think he saw and still sees what is taking place pretty clearly.
I also think that the scope of this work should have/could have been broader and more in depth as far as Mr. Romney and his early life are concerned. That part consisted of randomly chosen highlights/lowlights. Maybe he’s saving more for an autobiography on down the line. I did feel the author had a bias in certain areas, and that was unfortunate.
There were parts that made me laugh out loud, sometimes because of humor, and sometimes because what was being said or expressed was laughable.
Overall, an interesting read and insight into current events.

A fascinating look at a man who seems to be a rarity in politics these days. He gave unprecedented access to the author, and it really showed. If you’re also into seeing what a politician really thinks about other politicians during presidential runs, you’ll enjoy this was the author also had access to Romney’s personal journals.
Fascinating biography of a true public servant committed to principles rather than partisanship. How the United States desperately needs more people in government like him.
