Book review : Dear Barack

The book gives a clear image of two political leaders whose friendship shaped the twenty- first century. In this book the author has deeply traces the friendship of Obama and Merkel in meticulous detail with charming anecdotes and expertly places their bond within the historical contexts of other world leaders.

In the early chapters of the book the author shares the details of the family background of Obama and Merkel and the different situations that lead their personality traits and a strong foundation. She has laid emphasis of all the facts of how Dr. Angela Dorothea Merkel became the first former East German Chancellor at the age of 51, the youngest.

While Obama real rise to political fame came when he delivered the keynote speech at Democratic National Convention in Boston in July ,2004. In His "Audacity of Hope " speech , he passionately argued that there's not a liberal America and a conservative America , there's the United States of America..... Slowly progressing, he became the first Black President on November4,2008.

Faced with the challenges of globalization, the two often clashed over policy, but—as the first Black president and first female chancellor—they shared a belief that democracy could uplift the world. United by this conviction, they would forge a complicated but inspiring partnership.

In the Obama -Merkel working relationship, the biggest point of contention concerned the economic crisis or the Great Recession which began in December,2009. Obama and Merkel differed in one notable way: the waybthey answered journalists questions during press conferences.

A story of camaradie at a global scale- Dear Barack shows that it is possible for political adversaries to establish bonds of respect and even friendship in the service of the free world.

I learned a lot while reading this fabulous, well researched and full of facts book that gave me a clear image of the hardship and problems faced by political leaders on a world wide scale performing their responsibilities.

I loved reading this book and would recommend this historical book to all.

Happy Reading!

Taming the Turbulent Mind: Yogic Meditation and Mindfulness for Combating Overthinking, Achieving Stress Relief, and Attaining Absolute Peace Deekay | Book Review What is turbulence? Any thoughts, or have you ever tried to tame any animal? I remember watching circus shows organised once a year in the city's open area for all the locals to enjoy. There I used to cherish the person who tamed the elephants or the lion (if any). But today I thought of taming my mind. Every second our thoughts are randomly moving and giving us goosebumps. Nowadays people have so many threads of work looming in their minds that they feel like completing but fail to prioritise. To dive into a river is not easy. But only a few people have the calibre to do that. The same is true with diving in your mind. This practice needs calmness of mind and anxiety levels to be very low. I had heard about meditation and its techniques to apply in your daily routine, but when I stumbled upon this book, my myths w...
