Trust

America's Best Chance

By: Pete Buttigieg

Narrated by: Pete Buttigieg

Length: 4 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's summary

Pete Buttigieg demonstrates how a breakdown of trust is central to our nation’s current predicament - and how our future depends on finding ways to instill confidence in the American project, and in each other.

Trust is the essential foundation of America’s democracy, asserts Pete Buttigieg, former presidential candidate and best-selling author of Shortest Way Home. In a century shaped by terrorism, financial collapse, Trumpist populism, global pandemic, and systemic racism, trust - in our government, corporations, experts, and, most tragically, in one another - has precipitously eroded and, for so many, never existed in the first place.

Recognizing that we are now experiencing disastrous consequences, the former South Bend mayor offers a direct reckoning with the corruption of social responsibility, interweaving history, political philosophy, and affecting passages of memoir, offering a new outlook for how we can confront the next decade’s challenges by building accountability. In this urgent work, Buttigieg confirms his status as a visionary political thinker.

I trust Pete.

Pete Buttigieg has solidified himself as a critical voice in our current political dialogue. He has a way of speaking about heavy issues like restoring our democracy or trust in institutions in a way that makes the heady feel hearty. He’s a leader I trust.

This book rings true

Peter's insight and wisdom brings us to the core of what is needed to meet the needs of everyone in America and to regain the respect of the world. Thank you Mayor Pete for this wonderful book.

Very inspiring

Wonderfully written and very well narrated. An astute observation of how we have gotten to this point and how we can change to be able to trust again!

Inspiring & hopeful

Freedom,security & democracy. This book shows there are still moral and decent people in this world and to not give up on hope integrity and respect will once again prevail over lies and division in our country. Truth & Trust shall set us free!

Great book!

Loved the universal theme and the way the author brings you in. The speech at the end was uplifting.

Trust is a must read in these divisive times!

Mayor Pete has written Trust, with practical steps we must take moving forward. His words will resonate with everyone!

Trust is Hope

If you are a 2020 freedom rider, this book is for you; trust is hope. I trust you will see it as well.

To be saved for future historians

Buttigieg displays the skills of a PPE Oxford graduate in a highly appropriate testimonial of our particular time. I believe that in the future this book would serve as reference of the current political and philosophical topics that are over the table.

An Inspiration

Wonderfully written and read. A much needed balm for our country's soul. Looking forward to do much more from him!

Pete For President! Someday...

"To love a country, as to love a person, is to love a flawed and exquisite creation, to see what is best in it, to be angry when it is not what it could be, precisely because you have seen glimmers of its greatness." Pete Buttigieg
In “Trust” Pete Buttigieg writes that our success, or failure, at confronting the greatest challenges of the decade―racial and economic justice, pandemic resilience, and climate action―will depend on whether we can cultivate, deepen, and repair the ntrust that is now at risk, or for so many, have never even existed. He manages to frame issues in ways that feel simple and down-to-earth, but are constructed from positivity, rigorous study and anticipation of the counter-argument.
It's no secret that I love Pete. But I think this book makes a lot of excellent points very diplomatically- so it’s not just a book for his fans. I think everyone can find value in the ideas expressed here… except maybe twice impeached and twice indicted once found liable ex-President, Donald Trump.
