My Life (complete)

De: Bill Clinton

Narrado por: Michael Beck

President Bill Clinton's MY LIFE is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It is the fullest, most concretly detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written, and a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals.

Here is the life of a great national and international figure, revealed with all his talents and contridictions. Filled with fascinating moments and insights, it is told openly, directly, in his own completely recognizable voice.

A wonderful book

A fantastic book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I am an huge fan and advocate for President Bill Clinton and I found this book highly relatable and generally intelligent and I further highly recommend this book.

A bit superficial but a good book if you can except it for what it is.

This was written in 2004 and is pretty comprehensive although it leaves out some of the more salient points and completely misses other ones. If you like history, you’ll have to listen to it. What I found so striking was the whole impeachment situation that he went through and the nature of it is almost identical to what happened in 2020.

Worthwhile

Good insight into the mind of Bill Clinton. Good narration. Clinton doesn’t dodge his failings, but he also recognizes his many achievements. It’s a long listen but it went by quick enough.

My Life

I deeply respect President Clinton, and appreciate this perspective view into events that I lived through as an adult. Clinton was a brilliant though flawed politician who sought to celebrate and protect American diversity of race, religion, heritage, culture, etc., believing that fundamentally we are far more alike than we are different. He recognized the equal value of women in the workplace, and had many women placed in powerful positions for the first time. He sought to make America more fiscally responsible, and the world a better place as he brokered peace in Northern Ireland and worked with leaders bitterly divided in Israel and Palestine. He took readers frankly through the events that led to his impeachment.
This book started with Clinton's early years, being raised by a single Mom in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It's all very interesting, though very detailed, so set aside a good bit of time for this one. The ONE reason I didn't give the story it' 5th star was the author's habit of naming by full name EVERYONE he wrote about.

Wonderful

I have been through many audible listens this one is my favorite the world we know is summed up in the description he shares of our great country
