NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From political wunderkind and former army
intelligence officer Jason Kander comes a haunting, powerful memoir
about impossible choices--and how sometimes walking away from the
chance of a lifetime can be the greatest decision of all. "A truly
special book. This combination of honesty, thoughtfulness, urgency,
and vulnerability is not common in leaders, and Jason demonstrates
boundless occupancy of all of these traits." --Wes Moore, New York
Times bestselling author of The Other Wes Moore In 2017, President
Obama, in his final Oval Office interview, was asked who gave him
hope for the future of the country, and Jason Kander was the first
name he mentioned. Suddenly, Jason was a national figure. As
observers assumed he was preparing a run for the presidency, Jason
announced a bid for mayor of Kansas City instead and was headed for
a landslide victory. But after eleven years battling PTSD from his
service in Afghanistan, Jason was seized by depression and suicidal
thoughts. He dropped out of the mayor's race and out of public
life. And finally, he sought help. In this brutally honest second
memoir, following his New York Times bestselling debut Outside the
Wire, Jason Kander has written the book he himself needed in the
most painful moments of his PTSD. In candid, in-the-moment detail,
we see him struggle with undiagnosed illness as he considered a
presidential bid; witness his family buoy him through challenging
treatment; and, giving hope to so many of us, see him heal.
