The author who we know Nothing about as far as his marriage, his own pain, if he ever experienced any of considerable duration or level of it... As he doesn't provide any personal data in this work, whatsoever ! When he tries to "recommend" his ideas on reducing the feeling of pain, it comes to this effect: That "2 + 2 equals 4" That's all. It's so trivial and irrelevant, that makes this opus totally unasked for & unneeded ! As if you're suffering super chronic and unmanageable pain, you "Ought to regulate it yourself and do not cry nor complain about it TOO MUCH ! As there are people around you that will suffer from just Looking at you, or having to help you in the greatest time of Need. When you marry someone, you give an Oath to Be there for your spouse " IN HEALTH AND SICKNESS, TILL DEATH DO US PART ! It cannot Ever be Overestimated or changed ! And you ask, then: why have I ever married my spouse, for which reasons... I advice to this author to try his meaningless advices on himself, to feel them and suffer, as anyone with the real tough everyday crucial severe pain ... And ONLY Then -write something logical and smart about it ! I would Not suggest this writings to anyone with Pain, especially-chronic and not-manageable by anybody.

It's a great reference to the historical figures involved in OUR Presidents' lives and stories, And their ladies, who were next to them throughout their lives: political and otherwise ! You can read and find very interesting and Chronological order to become very well versed on a political scene from start to current days of the USA leaders. Very helpful and entertaining, as well. I recommend to everyone smart and wanted to be even more intelligent !

The book had attempted to describe the life, married and political profile of the wife of President Richard Nixon... It's a very rosy picture of Pat Nixon; and not a real portrait of her, mostly. She had been overly proud of herself for the early child's life where she had to become a mother-figure (in her youth for her brothers, and continued to be a stubborn, self-possessed, maybe too independent self-loving person all her life ! She actually never supported her husband's Political carrier nor cared or loved him wholeheartedly... She diminished his character, called him names and was quite ambitious even in Public ! I believe, Richard Nixon had chosen a wrong person to be his wife: He had to continually wow for her attention, to date and then-marry him, which showed his inability to be strong, manly and not so dependant on someone else's approval... But that had been the "fault" of his early upbringing where his parents neglected him emotionally considerably a young child and as a person, depriving him of their attention and love ! I've read another work about Richard Nixon and that book was much more real and substantial with a great inside into people's behavior and feelings. I also disprove of author's addressing The President's by name "Dick" instead of the appropriate, Richard or Rick (for short) I Nixon. It is distasteful and rude ! I do not recommend this work to anyone who truly is interested in knowing and understanding the character of Patty Nixon.

It's a very angry report by a true wars' veteran and a decent family man: unfortunately, Mr. Hegseth had written the book when he was in rage: which is while totally understandable and justifiable, is not how it should be narrated ! It should be written in a reasonable calm and not when our emotions run overboard... I respect our war heroes and Mr. Pete Hegseth, especially, but we all have to respect the public for which we dedicate and write for print & publication .

I have enjoyed listening to Live talk by author: Mr. Vivek Ramaswamy ! But the book is nothing like his speeches: it is about him being a lawyer and nothing else of needed substance. I do not recommend this book to anyone.
