The Audacity of Hope (Barack Obama)

The Audacity of Hope (Barack Obama)

You know you like a book when you tell everyone how good the writer is. And this was never more true than Barack Obama’s second book, The Audacity of Hope. He is an incredibly thought-provoking, articulate writer. And given for his present position, quite surprisingly humble. I am impressed that he published his beliefs in such a public way, his views on foreign policy, on community, and on family, among others. You’ll want to savor this as I did, enjoy the spell he casts over you, as you seem to be there in an armchair opposite the man, as if listening to him speak about each thing that is so important in this world.
