À propos de cet audio
A mayor's inspirational story of a Midwest city that has become nothing less than a blueprint for the future of American renewal.
Once described by The Washington Post as "the most interesting mayor you've never heard of", Pete Buttigieg, the 36-year-old Democratic mayor of South Bend, Indiana, has improbably emerged as one of the nation's most visionary politicians. First elected in 2011, Buttigieg left a successful business career to move back to his hometown, previously tagged by Newsweek as a "dying city", because the industrial Midwest beckoned as a challenge to the McKinsey-trained Harvard graduate. Whether meeting with city residents on middle-school basketball courts, reclaiming abandoned houses, confronting gun violence, or attracting high-tech industry, Buttigieg has transformed South Bend into a shining model of urban reinvention.
While Washington reels with scandal, Shortest Way Home interweaves two once unthinkable success stories: that of an Afghanistan veteran who came out and found love and acceptance, all while in office, and that of a Rust Belt city so thoroughly transformed that it shatters the way we view America's so-called flyover country.

A great listen from a great leader
I really enjoyed hearing Pete's story in his own voice and words. Including some of his faults made him more of a real person.

enjoyed
this book is a nice warm bath of a read. often the book has wonderful personal incites. there was a cringe worthy chapter which recounted the advancements of phone and picture tech, which I briefly toyed with skipping, the remainder was much enjoyed. for myself, a service member with aspersions of political office, and gay, I welcomed the message and its messenger. worth a read slash listen too.

one of the best biographies I've ever experienced
I could not stop listening. I felt like we had so much in common, minus the mayor and Military portion of Our Lives. really insightful and a look into the private life other man that should be the next president.

A true leader is never afraid of showing his/her/their vulnerabilities and I’ve heard humane stories of one
Thou of course another election memoir it surely has demonstrated the life stories and genuine values of Mayor Pete as a somewhat nerdy and younger elected official who’s practical and quick-to-action enough to do good to the public.
Great stories with great details yet I found the most fascinating chapter being the dating one lol.

Inspiring!
I usually don't like autobiographies because I end up no longer liking the author. Most I find sound full of themselves, and turn me off. But not with this book! Pete Buttigieg is so humble and self-deprecating, and spends very little time on his incredible accomplishments (Harvard, Oxford, his ability to speak many languages, etc.), and instead devotes more time to the campaigns he lost.
I also found that a guy with his credentials and accomplishments could so easily talk down to people, but he absolutely doesn't!
This book was a real pleasure to listen to, and I hope with every fiber that Americans don't pass up an opportunity to elect such an intelligent, tactful, classy #46! If you don't, on behalf of Canadians, we want Pete!
