Jacindas memoir gives us a rare glimpse into the foundations of her unique and unprecedented leadership style, one that values humanity above all else. Its an essential, inspiring read in our current political climate -- Natalie Portman A Different Kind of Power is the story of the forces that have shaped Jacinda Ardern and the intentional effort she has put into creating a new template for the next generation of leaders to follow. Arderns insightful and inspiring memoir challenges old definitions of strength and power by emphasizing the urgency of compassion and kindness. World leaders have a lot to learn from her timely and important perspective -- Melinda French Gates, bestselling author of The Moment of Lift An honest, inviting and profoundly personal story of rising to power, and then choosing to give it up. This book is filled with humour, conviction, self-awareness, uncommon kindness, and a wisdom earned through the dizzying trials of recent history. This should be required reading for anyone trying to understand howand whyto stay true to core values in trying times. A rare and essential memoir -- Ben Rhodes, bestselling author of The World As It Is and After the Fall It is rare enough to find someone who lives an inspiring life of genuine service to humanity; it is even rarer to find that theyve written a beautiful book that will inspire others. Jacinda Arderns A Different Kind of Power is just such a book. I could not put down this deeply personal memoir by an icon who insists on being a real person. Like the memoirs of Barack Obama and Gloria Steinem, this book has the power to inspire a new generation of passionate leaders and readers. You dont have to be interested in politics to devour this book; you might be interested in how women dare to mother and lead at the same time; you might be interested in bravery, and a life well-lived -- Sarah Ruhl, author of Smile
