Synopsis

A Little Book about Big Change

We all want the same things. We want to live a life of purpose and meaning. We want to leave a legacy for our children and grandchildren. We want to leave the world a better place. And yet we spend so much time wringing our hands over what’s wrong and not nearly enough time fixing those things within our control.

John Kasich has walked the corridors of power both in the politics, as a former leader of Congress, governor of Ohio, presidential candidate, and in the private sector, as an in-demand public speaker, best-selling author and a strategic advisor to businesses and large non-profits. Yet he’s seen that the most powerful movements have started from the bottom up. Rather than waiting on Washington, the solutions happen once we become leaders in our own lives and communities. The strength and resilience of our nation lies in each of us. That’s what this book is about.

In It’s Up to Us, Kasich shares the ten little ways we each can bring about big change. Taken together, they chart a path for each to follow as we look to live a life bigger than ourselves. Taken one-by-one, they can help to lift us from a place of outrage or complacency or helplessness and move us closer to our shared American dream.

Goodreads review by Michael on February 04, 2020

It's Up to Us isn't a bad book. It's the equivalent of Chicken Soup for the Soul, written by a politician who wants us to think that we can make a difference (and he has made a difference). It's filled with feel-good stories of people who have made the world a better place somehow. The book is divid......more

Goodreads review by Mary Lou on February 06, 2020

A very inspiring book about how NOT to be dismayed by all the upheaval in today's divisive political climate, but instead to focus on our OWN potential to make important changes in the world, one small step at a time. This is not a political book so much as an inspirational book. I especially enjoye......more

Goodreads review by Erik on November 15, 2019

John Kasich seems to be a genuinely nice guy, and this book diagrams a sincere attempt at changing the ugly tenor in Washington these days. I'd argue that his is a common sense approach. Unfortunately, I'd also argue that that is severely lacking in today's political climate.......more
