INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

In Look for Me There, Luke Russert traverses terrain both physical and deeply personal. On his journey to some of the world’s most stunning destinations, he visits the internal places of grief, family, faith, ambition, and purpose—with intense self-reflection, honesty, and courage."—Savannah Guthrie, coanchor of Today

Read by the author.

“Look for me there,” news legend Tim Russert would tell his son, Luke, when confirming a pickup spot at an airport, sporting event, or rock concert. After Tim died unexpectedly, Luke kept looking for his father, following in Tim’s footsteps and carving out a highly successful career at NBC News. After eight years covering politics on television, Luke realized he had no good answer as to why he was chasing his father’s legacy. As the son of two accomplished parents—his mother is journalist Maureen Orth of Vanity Fair—Luke felt the pressure of high expectations but suddenly decided to leave the familiar path behind.

Instead, Luke set out on his own to find answers. What began as several open-ended months of travel to decompress and reassess morphed into a three-plus-year odyssey across six continents to discover the world and, ultimately, to find himself.

Chronicling the important lessons and historical understandings Luke discovered from his travels, Look for Me There is both the vivid narrative of that journey and the emotional story of a young man taking charge of his life, reexamining his relationship with his parents, and finally grieving his larger-than-life father, who died too young.

For anyone uncertain about the direction of their life or unsure of how to move forward after a loss, Look for Me There is a poignant reflection that offers encouragement to examine our choices, take risks, and discover our truest selves.

Amazing story well written

Thank you for this book and thank you for reading it! Your journey was incredible and one many of us could never make. What an experience you allowed us to share.

I loved it

Found this to be refreshing and honest. I have a lot to relate with Luke’s story I hope to hit at least half the places he visited

Insightful

I’ve heard about so many young men who’ve lost their compass when their dad died unexpectedly. It was interesting to learn what Luke went through after Tim passed. I’m not convinced he’s there yet but he will find it. I also related to the journey. So many of us go through this at some point of our lives, sometimes, more than once.

A wonderful nomadic but also thematic story with an inspiring ending

I loved your heartfelt and reflective story of both your physical and emotional/spiritual journey, Luke! As a believer in signs we receive from lost loved ones, it’s so wonderful to know that you picked up on the ones from your father. The last chapter really wraps up the ongoing themes of your journey and answers what had been unanswered personal questions. It also gives the reader an inspiring and, at least for me, a surprising ending. Thank you for being willing to share your vulnerability, personal struggles, and your profound epiphany at the end! It’ll be interesting to see where you are directed next!

Great book

Thank you Luke for writing this book. Grief comes in many different shapes and sizes. I hope you live a long and healthy life!

Cannot stop listening to it!!!

What is one of the best books I’ve listen to in a long time and blinding blind in one eye, it’s easier to listen and love, audible, and really love this book!

Enjoyable and inspiring!

I enjoyed being taken along on Luke’s journey to deal with grief and discover his place in the world. His vulnerability and self-reflection is inspiring, and his experiences traveling definitely make me want to see more of the world. His voice was easy to listen to, and makes the story even more personal. Highly recommend!

A silver spoon doesn’t make your life perfect

Despite the Author growing up privileged his stories about being lost, dealing with grief and trying to navigate in a world where you lost a major pillar in your life we’re relatable. I appreciate that he admitted his flaws, his anxieties, and the mental gymnastics he struggled with. Everyone’s life can appear perfect on paper, but we all have our challenges. I’m sure this book will help some people in the world examine their grief in a different light.

Luke Russert and his new book!

Heartfelt is the one word that overall summarizes “Look For Me There”. Luke’s love for his dad, mom and people in general is palpable., i loved it!

Luke, your dad would be proud

This is a measured, reflective and hugely self-reflective memoir of not only being Tim Russert's only son, but as an American traveling abroad. Wow. What a rare view Luke got from being a son of both his dad AND amazing mom and his grandfather, too.

i will not give away all the reasons for the perfect title, but as the saying goes, you just can't make that **** up. Even if this had nothing to do with Tim Russert, this would have been a top shelf memoir, but add the extra layers of knowing who he was and all he represented in unbiased and stellar journalism, I felt I was navigating the journey of unwrapping and mourning the loss of a parent right with Luke.

Bravo! This is a keeper and I am listening for a second time starting this morning!
