The Light We Carry
Buy on Amazon"Absolutely I think what's beautiful about this book, 'The Light We Carry' and 'Becoming', is it shows us just how many trials, challenges, and setbacks that you've had to overcome in your life So elegantly, gracefully, tactfully You know, with so much determination and drive And I'm intrigued that after having overcome so much, like you said, climbing Mount Everest using that as our analogy, what is the thing that keeps you up at night now?"
Becoming

The Light We Carry
Buy on Amazon"Building, creating, painting, drawing, fixing, putting something real into the world that came from your own hands Yes, something small You know, that’s why I talk about the power of small in the light we carry Because a lot of times our brains are trying to do the big fix and that’s when we feel hopeless and we’re tired Because most of us don’t have the power to fix anything at a big scale, but we can focus on the small things that we have control over You know, making a sweater for your daughter, helping a child in your neighborhood, loving the children you bring into the world and making sure they have everything they need That’s where change happens Right?"
The Light We Carry
Buy on Amazon"You know, I talk about in the light when I think about kids from communities that are under-invested in their anger, their lack of like, I don't, none of this belongs to me. So why would I protect it? Why wouldn't I break down your house or rob you or try to take your car because I don't own any of this?"
The Light We Carry
Buy on Amazon"It was a product of one of the hardest moments that I had on the campaign trail, but one of the best growth moments, and I write about this in the light."
