An inspirational man with extraordinary drive and deep seated purpose in all he does. A great example of a life well lived

Jimmy Carter gives us his view on the facts of his life, since childhood in the segregated South to his days at the head of the Carter Center and it is facinating to be given such a privilege. Everything is his life is extraordinary -- since his days in a submarine to his presidency and his humanitarian action which earned him a Nobel Prize. Everything he did is explained with clarity as being "ordinary" and "simple". Jimmy Carter illustrated this book with naive paintings that are surprisingly effective: his portraits look like real people, his landscapes look like nature. With lucidity, he apparaises his craft: "I realized many years ago that I do not have any special talent as an artist or craftsman, but with a lot of study and practice I have become fairly proficient." Jimmy Carter writes like he paints, with proficiency. This is not great literature, but one discovers behind the written word an author as a "gentleman". What is presented as common sense is, actually, dignity, fairness, kindness. It is such a rare feeling, that it is worth reading every page. Another detail: one feels a little better while reading it!

I lived in the USA whilst he was President and all thought he was weak but I never thought so. This book shows that he is one of the most caring and genuine people to have "ruled" in the US. I hope he will be remembered for all that he has done. Good reading.

Condition of the book(s) was very good. President Carter’s 100th Birthday was earlier this month (10/1/24) 🎉Reading this during his centurion milestone alongside an impending Presidential election (Harris & Trump) has been insightful & inspirational. Makes me yearn for a time in America when we worked with ethic, partnered for the better and cared about the fate of our neighbor(s.) I was a young child when he was in office and grew up hearing he was a “weak” president. I disagree after reading this. His wife Roselyn was behind many of the decisions he had to make (they didn’t always agree & backed each other up.) She was an active First Lady. A genuine portrayal of his lived experience(s.) Respect to President Carter for being an Honorable American, Honorable Veteran, Honorable Family Man and Humanitarian. A good Human.
