Title: Every Liberal Must Read This Book
Review: This book is exceptional. I happened to get my copy a few days early and absolutely tore through it. If you, like many of us on the left, have been left feeling adrift and a bit hopeless in the last few years, you need to read this book.It offers an extremely compelling vision for the future. A vision of the left that works, that builds, that grows, and that can work to create a better future for us all. Klein and Thompson take you on a journey, one that exposes all of the flaws and non-workings of the left over the last few decades. They pull no punches. If what you want is a book that blames 100% of our countries problems on the GOP then go back to your cocoon and leave this book alone. It viscerally exposes the way that liberalism has failed to achieve it’s very own goals and objectives. The left didn’t die because the GOP killed it, the left withered by virtue of its own poor governance. The book shows the myriad ways that us, and the politicians we vote for, have been the hinderance to change that we all know that our society needs.It’s not an easy read – not because the prose is difficult, it’s extremely well-written – but because it puts the onus of responsibility for fixing our society back on the ways that we on the left have failed. This moment seems hopeless, but after reading this book I also feel firmly like we have never been better positioned to actually move ourselves forward.And in the end, this book left me with hope. If we are lucky, this book will go down as one of the most importance political texts of the last 100 years. Read it, tell everyone you know to read it, write to every politician you know and tell them to read it as well. Then get to work doing what you can to Build the American Future.

Title: A worthy read regardless of your political leanings.
Review: I tend not to agree with a lot of the politics of the authors, however I believe they pursued their endeavor with intellectual honesty and genuine curiosity. And they, wisely I’d add, shine a light on the failings of their own party rather than trying to simple cast aspersions across the aisle. For that reason I think it’s an important book for liberals to read to confront parts of their own party that have lost them the white house and congress and equally important to read for conservatives to read who might find themselves persuaded by some of the more centrist ideas contained within.I hope that everyone who can approach the book with an open mind will come away with some new perspectives. Undoubtedly, there will still be much to disagree with and debate, but it will certainly force you to rethink certain positions, regardless of whether or not it makes you actually change your mind.

Title: Fascinating, hopeful read
Review: This book is what we all need right now to give some hope and a paradigm shift in how to think about moving forward. I also think this topic really brings together people from both sides of the aisle in thinking about how we can all work towards living better lives.

Title: Optimism based in reality
Review: For anyone wondering how it will ever be possible to solve the serious problems out current society is facing, this is the book for you. This book is not a critique of America, though there is plenty of unpacking the mistakes made that got us here. It is a playbook for how we can build a society that provides abundance for all, if we just get out of our own way. It is hopeful and aspirational but not so much that it seems fantastical. Built on solid research this book is a must read for any one who wants to make America work for ALL Americans.
