Publisher's summary

Includes a new epilogue narrated by the author exclusively for the audiobook edition.

What would it be like to sit down for an impassioned, entertaining conversation with Hillary Clinton? In Something Lost, Something Gained, Hillary offers her candid views on life and love, politics, liberty, democracy, the threats we face, and the future within our reach.

She describes the strength she draws from her deepest friendships, her Methodist faith, and the nearly fifty years she’s been married to President Bill Clinton—all with the wisdom that comes from looking back on a full life with fresh eyes. She takes us along as she returns to the classroom as a college professor, enjoys the bonds inside the exclusive club of former First Ladies, moves past her dream of being president, and dives into new activism for women and democracy.

From canoeing with an ex-Nazi trying to deprogram white supremacists to sweltering with salt farmers in the desert trying to adapt to the climate crisis in India, Hillary brings us to the front lines of our biggest challenges. For the first time, Hillary shares the story of her operation to evacuate Afghan women to safety in the harrowing final days of America’s longest war. But we also meet the brave women dissidents defying dictators around the world, gain new personal insights about her old adversary Vladimir Putin, and learn the best ways that worried parents can protect kids from toxic technology. We also hear her fervent and persuasive warning to all American voters. In the end, Something Lost, Something Gained is a testament to the idea that the personal is political, and the political is personal, providing a blueprint for what each of us can do to make our lives better.

Hillary has “looked at life from both sides now.” In this book, she shares the latest chapter of her inspiring life and shows us how to age with grace and keep moving forward, with grit, joy, purpose, and a sense of humor.

Good Narration

I like Hillary and admire her for all she has accomplished. I am glad she was a bit more open about some of the disappointments in her life. If you are a fan of her, then this book you will enjoy.

Incredible collection of essays

What a brilliant woman. She would’ve made a wonderful president! Loved all of these stories. A moving book that made me laugh and cry while inspiring me to “Do All The Good.”

In my life

We’ve learned of strong women throughout history yet did not see them in action like we have with Hillary Clinton. May we all share her story for generations to come.

Do All You Can

I’ve always admired Hillary Rodham Clinton’s wisdom and strength. Her new book strengthens that admiration for me. Powerful stories and reminders that progress is possible, but not guaranteed.

wonderful!

The more I listened to this book, the more I appreciate the very unique perspective that only HRC can share. She is a true American icon, having dedicated her entire adult life to public service. I can't wait to hear her read from this book at Carnegie Hall tomorrow evening. The last chapter and epilogue of this audiobook had me weeping, almost uncontrollably, now that we are just one week away from Election Day 2024, when so much is on the line.. Thank you, Madame Secretary. May God bless America.

Great historical data, disturbing performance!

I appreciated being able to put many of the important issues that our country and world have faced since the 1970s into concise and factual order from someone who has lived through and contributed to it. However, I wish I had ordered the book instead of the audiobook. Clinton’s sarcasm and snarkiness in her presentation has certainly ruined this audiobook for me. She has also hawked every other book she has written, something I think is inappropriate in her text. If I wanted to read any more of Clinton’s works, I would have googled it.
