Say more : lessons from work, the White House, and the world
(Book)

As State Department spokesperson for John Kerry, press secretary for Presidents Obama and Biden, and now host of her own show on MSNBC, Psaki knows a thing or two about communication. Such as how to get a point across with clarity; how to simplify even the most complex subjects; how to diffuse combative situations; and how to correct unintentional misstatements. These traits are not only essential in her profession, they are elemental for anyone who wants to present themselves with grace and aplomb. Structured around anecdotes from her storied career, Psaki's memoir of swimming in the deep end of the world's most analyzed press pool is as forthright and reassuring as her behind-the-podium personae. Psaki is the mother of a son and daughter, and the lessons she shares with readers often landed first with her toughest audience, her children. It is precisely this balance of political and journalistic strategies and general life advice that elevates Psaki's narrative beyond the standard Washington insider tell-all.
