I suggest grabbing a copy of the book.

It will be a read well worth the time.

Buttigieg speaks with ELLE.com about growing into politics, the shifting dynamics of his marriage, and responding to his critics.

You Haven't Met The Real Chasten Buttigieg Yet
BY R. ERIC THOMAS SEP 1, 2020

From the ELLE Interview:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.elle.com/culture/career-politics/amp33843091/chasten-buttigieg-i-have-something-to-tell-you-interview/

"In the book, you recount the time your dad tested your self-sufficiency by leaving you alone in the forest and watching from across the river.
Later, your self-sufficiency becomes a lifeline for you, from sleeping in your car to working multiple jobs in Chicago to navigating a complicated and unique role in the campaign.
The thing about self-sufficiency, though, is that it has to come from the self.
How do you keep your tank filled if you have to keep relying on your own skills to get you through these new and scary experiences?
"

Great read..👍

Buy the book!
