The best things said about it
There was a line in the book that was really powerful: he said in life sometimes we get so powerful that we start to think that we are dealers of our own fate.
There's this great line in the book about the Secret Service started calling you the mechanic, a funny nickname.
There's a great line in the book which I think your dad maybe was the person that told you when you're running up a hill to not look up the hill, just look at your feet.
You wrote in the book that that time, Operation Warp Speed early COVID, was among maybe the top two most stressful times of your life.
There's an anecdote in the book that really stood out, we could talk about for a long time I'm sure: I'll call it a Gambit, a phone call Gambit, a conversation you were brokering between Tamim and MBS.

Why people recommend it
Breaking History by Jared Kushner is a political memoir detailing the author's time as a senior advisor in the White House during the Trump administration. The book was discussed extensively by Patrick O'Shaughnessy on Invest Like the Best, where he brought up various anecdotes and passages from the text to prompt deeper conversation with Kushner. Patrick asked about a butterfly effect moment when Rick Gerson made an introduction that eventually led to the Abraham Accords. He also cited a line from the book about the Secret Service nickname given to Kushner, which was the mechanic, highlighting his behind-the-scenes problem solving. Furthermore, Patrick referenced a piece of advice Kushner received from his father about looking at one's feet instead of running up a hill, and he asked how Kushner handled difficult challenges. The conversation touched upon Kushner's stressful experiences during Operation Warp Speed in the early days of COVID-19, his work with small teams, and his recollections of the early investigation into alleged collusion with Russia. Additionally, Patrick brought up a phone call conversation that Kushner brokered between Tamim and MBS. Megyn Kelly also briefly mentioned the book on The Megyn Kelly Show, reminding listeners of its title at the conclusion of her segment.
