About this listen
The #1 New York Times bestseller
From Vice President Kamala Harris, one of America's most inspiring political leaders, comes a book about the core truths that unite us and how best to act upon them.
"A life story that genuinely entrances." —Los Angeles Times
“An engaging read that provides insights into the influences of [Harris’s] life...Revealing and even endearing.” —San Francisco Chronicle
The daughter of immigrants and civil rights activists, Vice President Kamala Harris was raised in an Oakland, California, community that cared deeply about social justice. As she rose to prominence as one of the political leaders of our time, her experiences would become her guiding light as she grappled with an array of complex issues and learned to bring a voice to the voiceless.
In The Truths We Hold, she reckons with the big challenges we face together. Drawing on the hard-won wisdom and insight from her own career and the work of those who have most inspired her, she communicates a vision of shared struggle, shared purpose, and shared values as we confront the great work of our day.

When, at age forty-six, Nancy Pelosi, mother of five, asked her youngest daughter if she should run for Congress, Alexandra Pelosi answered: “Mother, get a life!” And so Nancy did, and what a life it has been. In The Art of Power, Pelosi describes for the first time what it takes to make history—not only as the first woman to ascend to the most powerful legislative role in our nation, but to pass laws that would save lives and livelihoods, from the emergency rescue of the economy in 2008 to transforming health care.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 21
Anthony Fauci is arguably the most famous–and most revered–doctor in the world today. His role guiding America sanely and calmly through Covid (and through the torrents of Trump) earned him the trust of millions during one of the most terrifying periods in modern American history, but this was only the most recent of the global epidemics in which Dr. Fauci played a major role. His crucial role in researching HIV and bringing AIDS into sympathetic public view and his leadership in navigating the Ebola, SARS, West Nile, and anthrax crises, make him truly an American hero.

Through roles in cherished films such as Mrs. Doubtfire, Jumanji, Aladdin and Hook, he became the genial face of family comedy. His childlike enthusiasm was infectious, sweeping viewers away. Allied to his lightning-quick improvisation and ability to riff lewdly off any cue thrown at him, Robin was that rare thing - a true comic genius who appealed to adults and children equally. He could also play it straight, and empathetic depth came to him naturally.

What the critics say
“Its most memorable moments are those personal touches: Harris’s recollections of family, friendships and, above all, of her late mother, an Indian immigrant and cancer researcher who raised Harris and her younger sister...instructive for anyone trying to imagine a Vice President Harris.” (Carlos Lozada, The Washington Post)
"A life story that genuinely entrances." (Los Angeles Times)
“An engaging read that provides insights into the influences of Harris’ life.” (San Francisco Chronicle)
“In an era when many of our current political memoirs are either looking back at the Obama years or are attempting to grapple with our current state of government unrest, it is exciting to see a highly respected and powerful woman of color and daughter of immigrants tell her own story and offer some hope for the future of our country.” (Bustle)

Love this book Kamala. I can't wait for next one!
This was one of the BEST audible book I have read within the last 2 years.
Kamala is an exceptional human being and a Woman of Distinction. She will make a GREAT LEADER who is thoughtful resourceful and smart.
America unfortunately is at a crossroad where politicians don't know how to use their power to do good. Instead they command it for the detriment for Americans. Lately it is new low of how UN-DEMOCRATIC US politics has become.
Politicians need to be reminded that without their constituents voting for them they have NO POWER. That their own interest is for themselves and being powerful by subjugating their constituents to remain powerless. So sad for America.
When I watch it from up here in Canada how broken the American judicial, voting rights, and nonexistent Healthcare System clearly does not protect Americans; apparently the greatest democracy that everyone in the third world and developing countries strive for.
VOTE THE PEOPLE OUT OF POWER.

Fantastic
I loved this book from beginning to the end. It is very informative,
The USA has the same problems as Canada.
Kamala I believe should run for President, in my thoughts she would beat TRUMP hands down.
I loved that Kamala read the book herself, it just transported me into her life.
FANTASTIC
Please write another book and read it.

Great book! It’s gives me hope for a bright future for our children & grandchildren.
I love Senator Harris’ message that any progress towards what we believe is right is worth fighting for! And that we can make the world a better place by educating ourselves and then take peaceful actions and steps toward these goals. She sets the bar high as a major conduit for change with her extensive knowledge and experience with the judicial system. This amazing book gives the gift of hope during these tumultuous political times. It is a must read for anyone interested in moving the world toward a more compassionate society where all people can thrive.

She'd Have My Vote! (but I'm Canadian)
I liked it a lot. Her reading of it was... awkward. When it came to policy type stuff that she knew inside out there were no issues. In other parts it sounded like she was handed someone else's book with no prep time and she plowed ahead with odd pauses, questionable pronunciation, etc. To be fair, I had also just finished Michelle Obama's book so she had a tough act to follow! All said and done I love this lady and hope those that can vote vote for her!

Kamala’s leadership is extraordinary
My biggest takeaway is the importance of fighting for our fragile democracy. Kamala Harris stands strong in her values and leads us to do the same. She succinctly recalls pivotal moments in her life and career, offering a clear vision of what she stands for. An incredible read!

Harris is articulate and accomplished. This book is an excellent introduction to her. Her personal story is compelling. Her politics are progressive and grounded in solving real world problems.

Refreshing Voice
An excellent peek behind the curtain of the future of American politics. Harris’ prose are forthright, honest and genuine. Her insider look into her work on taking on the banks during the California foreclosure crisis and in Senate committees is outstanding. Highly recommended.

Michelle Is A Hard Act To Follow
My review will be very similar to the other here. I think Kamala is an excellent candidate, and I was excited to read (listen to) this book, but I unfortunately found it tough to get through. I'll say first that I just finished Michelle Obama's book, and so perhaps it's a classic case of "hard act to follow", but I can pinpoint what was lacking. First, I know Kamala is a busy lady, but the narration sounded very, very rushed. Secondly, her voice lacked a lot of emotion to me. I sensed more of a wry smile than genuine feeling and warmth the whole way through. Thirdly, perhaps her mouth wasn't close enough to the microphone, but it never felt like she was talking "to" me. Rather above or around me. Michelle took her time with her narration, put her heart into it, and it felt like she was speaking into my ear. I found myself pressing the "30 seconds forward" button a lot with this book by Kamala at moments where it felt impersonal or uninspired and still unlike she was even talking to me. There were also moments I enjoyed, or that clearly demonstrated her capacity to be a great progressive leader "for the people", but I just can't leave it a great review. She didn't hand it to me with her soul.

Dont't expect the whole truth
very self serving. Doesn't seem to reflex the whole truth. She brings up practical truths to put her into a good light however will not talk about the whole story. I do understand she wrote this book to run for president, but not a good way to start it off.
