Book description
In this inspirational call to action, a senior U.S. politician reveals how to accomplish goals with a combination of strong allies, persistence, and attention - that is, chutzpah. It Takes Chutzpah is an inspirational call to action by a senior U.S. politician, describing how Americans of all age groups, persuasions, and occupations can defy convention, chart new pathways for their communities, schools, at work and in life. US Senator Ron Wyden is widely praised for coming up with sensible-sounding ideas no one else had thought of and making the counter-intuitive political alliances that prove helpful in passing bills. In It Takes Chutzpah, he offers a progressive leader's manifesto for being a courageous warrior during turbulent times. "Chutzpah" is a Yiddish word that describes a trait that many Jews consider in-born. Ron explores chutzpah's long history and many interpretations and reclaims the word chutzpah for a new American generation, showing how it can be used for good to reclaim idealism and enact positive change. He shares "Ron's 12 Rules of Chutzpah" that enable any individual or group to achieve their objectives, including: 1. If you want to make change, you've got to make noise. 2. In a world where everyone thinks and acts for the short-term, always play the long game. 3. Leading is coaching: Whether in legislation or in life, you've got to bring people and ideas together around a shared goal. Ron identifies several key values - free speech, health care, reproductive rights, a clean environment, and reigning in Big Tech - and draws on his decades of public service to stress that preserving those values means that loud brashness and boldness will be needed now more than ever.Review"For decades, my friend Ron Wyden has been a relentless force for finding creative solutions to break the gridlock in Washington debates, from health care to climate to civil rights to taxes and safeguarding our democracy. He starts with how best to improve the lives of people, and works backwards from there. He's a fellow wonk who gets things done, and this book is a great guide to that work." -Hillary Rodham Clinton, 67th U.S. Secretary of State "During his time in Washington, Sen. Ron Wyden has picked fights with Big Oil, insurance giants, greedy billionaires, and the surveillance state, while finding ways to make real change for working Americans in a deeply divided Senate. That is only possible with wisdom, patience, and a whole lot of coraje." -Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "I have known Ron Wyden for more than 40 years, dating back to when he was a member of the House and I was a very junior congressional staff member. He has never lost his passion for helping people or his willingness to stand up for what he believes. His book shares important lessons on how to lead effectively, including the timeless principles he learned from his high school basketball coach and the values he learned from sports along the way." -Adam Silver, NBA CommissionerAbout the AuthorRon Wyden, a Democratic Senator from Oregon, served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 until his 1995 election to the U.S. Senate. Oregonians - and all attentive Americans - know Wyden as a senator who listens and innovates. The son of two refugees from Nazi Germany, he was born in Wichita and lived in Chicago, St. Louis, and Washington D.C., as his father Peter Wyden, a journeyman journalist and later a best-selling author, pursued his career and curiosity.
