Resumen del Editor

Former White House Press Secretary and current MSNBC host Jen Psaki shares the surprising lessons she’s learned on her path to success and offers unique yet universal advice about how to be a more effective communicator in any situation.

Not many White House Press Secretaries capture the nation’s interest the way Jen Psaki did. Refreshingly candid and clear, Psaki quickly became known for her ability to break through the noise and successfully deliver her message. In her highly anticipated book, Psaki shares her journey to the Briefing Room and beyond, taking listeners along the campaign trail, to the State Department, and inside the White House under two Presidents. With her signature wit, Psaki writes about reporting to bosses from the hot-tempered Rahm Emanuel to the coolly intellectual Barack Obama to the surprisingly tenderhearted John Kerry. She also talks about her time working closely with President Joe Biden from the start of his administration to set a new tone for the country, restoring a sense of calm and respect for the role of the media in our Democracy.

Since leaving the White House, Psaki’s star has continued to rise. She launched a highly rated show on MSNBC and was so successful that in just six months she was given an additional primetime Monday slot, ahead of Rachel Maddow. And Psaki’s work doesn’t end at the office. She is the mother of two young children and shares her stories about the journey of communicating as a parent: During one bedtime briefing, her young daughter asked the question, “Why do wars start?”, which Jen carefully explained and then got a follow up: “Have you ever seen a unicorn?”

In Say More, Psaki explains her straightforward approach to communication, walking listeners through difficult conversations as well as moments where humor saves the day—whether it is with preschoolers, partners, or presidents. She addresses the best ways to give and receive feedback, how to connect with your audience, how to listen actively, and much more. Say More is the book Psaki wishes she had when she started her career, and is a trove of entertaining, essential lessons from one of the most prominent voices in American politics today.

Short and Impactful

Enjoyed the advice, the author’s thinking, and the wisdom of this text.Good show! Thank you!

Great Job - short and inspiring

It is nice to know some background to those we listeners follow on MSNBC. I feel I know Jen better and love her work ethic and passion. I listened to the audio in 2 days, easily, and appreciate that she took the time and effort to have this book created and published. I have already recommended it to others, which is saying a lot.

How to apologize

I liked it all. I am very grateful for Jen! We need more women in government

Great read

Truly enjoyed this book. Initially thought I would be wanting more inside stories (tell all) but I actually enjoyed this more!

Say more

The question is what did I like or disliked Well there was nothing I didn’t like. I enjoyed everything she had to say. I have always been a big fan of what she had to say. I have followed her career in everything I knew she was doing and now I know a little more.
I watch her on MSNBC
I think she is one of the
Best communicators there is on television and the written word

Great book on communication, successes & failures

While Jen Psaki's work experience has been primarily with the Democratic Party this book is about communication and the examples revolve around her employers and to a lesser sense to her family. She points out her strategies and learning curve. I always enjoyed her press conferences and her stories around her previous and current job. A great go to book for people particularly early in their career.

Great lessons on communication.

Jen Psaki has been a lady I've enjoyed listening to, whether in the White House briefing or on her show "Inside with Jen Psaki. She shows in her work a great and prepared communicator. I try to make a point of watching women I look up to on television, and she has definitely been added to my list. Thanks for writing this boom.

Glad I read it! Bravo Jen Psaki

This book is packed with personal insites and knowledge on how to get up, in front of an audience, or your colleagues at work, and understand how to make the most of it. I like here style and character and how she balanced work and her family. I enjoyed here journey on the campaign, working at the State Department, or working for two Presidents. She also was a very good narrator. Bought the book on Tuesday and finished it on Thursday. Highly recommended. RJS

So many connections

Many of the strategies for good communication are familiar, but the author’s ability to connect those strategies to real experiences, good and bad, made this an interesting listen. So many current political anecdotes.

Great book

I really enjoyed the book. Good timing, I’m interviewing for jobs and a lot of the communication tips she was talking about was applicable and that was very helpful. She’s brilliant and I’m very excited to see her interview at UCSD in San Diego this week.
