pickSuch a smart, compassionate, sensible man. Buttigieg illustrates how the collapse of trust in our government, public leaders, and institutions has led us to a crisis point. He then discusses ways to rebuild that trust. He‘s direct, helpful, and hopeful.
pickWe NEED more people like Secretary Pete in public service! Also, the guy is a good writer.
pickI admire Mayor Pete. He just makes so much sense in a straightforward way. Trust was written after he lost the democratic nomination and he presents no bitterness, instead he helps us to see where we have come from, where we are, and where we are headed if we don‘t make some big changes. Pete believes the people must trust the government, leaders, and each other for progress. The amount of misinformation flying the internet around is terrifying.
"Trust is easily broken, but it can also be built—and, where necessary, rebuilt. And the tools for such rebuilding lie, more often than not, in the hands of the people. Patterns of trust can be transformed, sometimes amid the darkest of circumstances."
Seems appropriate in light of today's 2nd Impeachment.
Great books on my TBR written by great people. I‘m looking forward to hope next year. Who are you reading?
pickWritten in 2020 but released before the election, Mayor Pete looks at the ways trust is fundamentally important to our society. With trust in each other and in institutions often at all-time lows, he gives ways that we can begin to restore trust and why rebuilding it is so important. Part call to action, part practical guide, and part memoir, I enjoyed this #audiobook.
Thanks for the tag @rockpools 🤗
1. The tagged arrives today!
2. I bought a set of three Persephone books with my parents‘ money for them to give me at Christmas. My mom used to surprise me with clothes. I like picking books much better! 😂😂 things other littens understand!

Great questions @TheSpineView 👍🏻
pickI wish people who needed to hear this would read it. I imagine that Buttigieg is preaching to the choir, mostly. Read it: it's quick and could really make a difference in the quality of life in the USA if enough people got on board.
No big deal, I‘m just sitting at my desk crying. Rest In Peace, Congressman Lewis, you absolute giant. #trust #americasbestchance #petebuttigieg #mayorpete #congressmanjohnlewis #goodtrouble #necessarytrouble
A little book, but what a punch it‘s already packing. #trust #petebuttigieg #mayorpete
