A memoir about one of the political figures in America. His journey is inspirational which reminds me of the late Abraham Lincoln. A good read to all Americans who is looking for a role model in politics, environmental and in writing international law.

Reading about Schramm's transition from the public sector to the private sector and then to international consulting underscores his adaptability and unwavering commitment to effecting change on a global scale. His story is both enlightening and empowering.

It is heartwarming to see that kindness is a trait that surpasses local and global boundaries, as the author must have definitely been touched by not only the willingness but the kindness itself in action. I am also glad that the descriptions are thorough, making the book comprehensible. Schramm's life and work are, undoubtedly, worth reading by everyone interested in politics, law and governance, and environmental conservation. Many thanks for the nice, informative review.

What I liked most about this book is that Schramm’s personality and passionate nature are evident as he described his experiences. He has an appreciation for other countries and cultures.
and
I give this book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I wouldn’t rate it any less because it is a compelling memoir written by a gifted writer who conveys fascinating details from a decades-long career. I recommend it to readers who have an interest in American politics, environmental issues, and international law or politics. Schramm has a writing style that is enjoyable to read as he described his personal experiences. It is also very educational for readers who want to learn more about these topics. He has a wealth of knowledge in these areas, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading about his experiences.
- was enough to get me hooked. I am so curious and want to read this book so bad that I am like an active volcano about to erupt. This was a great review. Thank you.

This is a memoir of the author’s exceptional life and career in public service. I read a sample and I’m not a fan of the cover, but it sounds like an interesting read! I could tell from the sample that the author’s personality was the best part of this book so I’m glad you confirmed it in your review!

Politics seem so misteryous to me, I just don't know much about it. I would definitely love to read this book and find out more about how he got involved in politics and his outlooks on events. Memoirs are often very good source of information.

I am fascinated by Schramm’s life and career in public service. I am intrigued by Schramm's life before he began his public career at the Missouri House of Representatives. I am interested in learning about Schramm's major successes in environmental protection and policy reform during his tenure with the United States Environmental Protection Agency.

I think the book deserves its five-star rating. First of, writing a book is such a tall feat. Secondly, documenting every single shift and change in several different careers takes a lot of work and meticulousness.
