Synopsis

This program is read by the author.

When former Ohio governor John Kasich ran for president, his powerful message of hope and togetherness struck a chord with American voters. In Two Paths: America Divided or United, he carries that message forward by reflecting on the tumultuous 2016 campaign, sharing his concerns for America and his hopes for our future, and sounding a clarion call to reason and purpose, humility and dignity, righteousness and calm.

“The country never looked so grand and magnificent as it did from ten thousand feet,” he writes of his time on the campaign trail, “and it was always a thrilling, faith-affirming thing to look out our window and see the sun splashing across Bryce Canyon in Utah, or the lights of the New York skyline at night as we flew past the Statue of Liberty, or an open field in the heartland that ran as far as our eyes could see.... I’d look out and think what an honor it would be to lead this great nation, what a blessing.”

To be sure, the full story of the 2016 Presidential race will be written over time, but to understand what it was to be on the front lines of one of the most divisive and corrosive campaign battlegrounds in history, listeners won’t find a richer, more thoughtful firsthand account than this one—a frank, refreshing assessment of the American dynamic and a clear path we might follow toward a more promising tomorrow.

As former governor Kasich reminds us in these pages, America is great because America is good—and because Americans have stayed true to who we are: one nation, under God, indivisible.

Goodreads review by Trish on June 04, 2017

John Kasich began writing this book as soon as he became the last man standing in the 2016 Republican primary contest between sixteen candidates and Donald Trump. We know Trump won by deriding and dismissing his opponents, but Kasich seemed to run under Trump’s radar. Neither Trump nor Kasich were b......more

Goodreads review by Bob on May 16, 2017

Summary: The presidential candidate's memoir of his campaign and the choice of the low and high paths of political engagement we face and his vision for that high path. No matter who you favored in the recent presidential campaign, you probably would agree that it was one of the most rancorous and ug......more

Goodreads review by Lynn on June 08, 2017

This was one of the most disappointing books I've read in a long time. From the title, I expected Kasich to offer an analysis of how we might get out of the terrible Trump of a mess we are in politically. Instead, the title simply refers to a speech he gave, which he prints as one chapter. Instead,......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on August 10, 2017

A candidate hobbled in the modern era by his virtues of dignity, intelligence and rationality Note - I am pretty left-leaning. However, a lot in this book makes sense, and if it doesn't Kasich seems like the kind of guy who will say 'OK, then come into my office an let's hammer out our differences.' H......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on July 04, 2017

There is nothing striking or genius here. It is basically just a memoir of Kasich's part in the 2016 presidential primaries. It has some interesting insights on the election process, but mostly he just comes across as a plain guy with a lot of integrity and goodwill (i.e., exactly the kind of politi......more
