Abridged Audiobook
Absolutely loved the book. Great for individuals new to partisan politics. He gives clear understanding of the obstacles we are seeing today. Highly recommend.
So interesting how much this book foreshadows. I want him to write more! I enjoy his matter of fact way of thinking. He is real and connected to what can be done if we listen to each other and work together.
The president the world wishes was still in the Whitehouse.
I read this in 2021, many years after it was written and before he ran for president and before the Trump years 2017 to 2021. It’s uncanny to read after watching how the problems he described in America were exacerbated later during the Trump years. A great read for finding out what makes the sky tech, and for demonstrating how life experiences shape one’s beliefs.
an interestring view that pre dates his presidency.
Great book, amazingly narrated. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get an insight into US 2 party politics and how divided that has caused the country and any chance of ever getting a bipartisan policies made for the benefit of the people.
Delightful and refreshing to listen an empathetic, intellectual who isn’t so concerned with his own perspective that he can’t relate to others with perspectives different from his own. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to his ability to relate to various aspects of American social/political issues and offering solutions that sought to bridge all Americans. This is worth a read by anyone, Republican, Democratic or otherwise. Grateful for the former President’s calm, humble demeanor as well his ability to consider issues from a critical and profound lens.
Wonderful insight into both America, its diverse complications, challenges, what it could be AND some of what makes the man President Obama. Loved it and recommend this insightful read.
This was an amazing book that gave a view of a man destined for greatness. It’s so interesting that he wrote this before he became president. He’s an amazing story teller with an attention to detail that remains unsurpassed.
so tired of Obama's and the destruction of America they created
We need this man with these ideas to be President. Oh wait, wasn’t he? President Obama The Audacity Of Hope evaporated when you crossed the threshold of the Whitehouse. I personally am so disappointed!
