Rory Stewart on Politics, Ambition, and Making a Difference

The Next Big Idea - Podcast tekijän mukaan Next Big Idea Club - Torstaisin

Rory Stewart may be the most interesting person you’ve never heard of. He’s an adventurer, writer, politician, and nonprofit leader. He walked across Afghanistan — alone — in the months after 9/11 and wrote a book about the experience that the New York Times called a “flat-out masterpiece”; he then served as a deputy governor in Iraq, held a chair at Harvard, and was elected to British Parliament. Now he’s out with a new memoir called “How Not to Be a Politician.” It’s a funny, candid, and somewhat shocking chronicle of the decade he spent in office. It’s also a book about why our political system feels so broken and what we can do to repair it. Host: Caleb Bissinger Guest: Rory Stewart • To learn more about GiveDirectly, visit givedirectly.org
