Trust: America's Best Chance
by Pete Buttigieg
Pete Buttigieg discusses how a lack of trust is a huge reason we find ourselves in the political climate we are in now, and how reestablishing trust is the only way out.
I love Pete Buttigieg. I really enjoyed his first book. In his first book, I found him to be smart, well spoken, innovative, and willing to discuss mistakes he has made. It was funny to me that he identified trust as a necessary aspect of society because a while back, I read a book about Denmark and that was the conclusion about why they were so happy - high levels of trust in each other and their systems. I think if we had more politicians like Pete and if more people in our country demonstrated personal responsibility and that they don’t think only of themselves, I would be more willing to trust. But it feels aspirational right now. All in all this was a decent book, not as emotional as his first, but well written. He also narrates the audiobook and does a great job!
