In this frank memoir—a story of duty, family, justice, politics, and resilience—Andrew Cuomo, New York State's fifty-sixth governor, reflects on his rise, fall, and rise again in politics, and the tough (but necessary) lessons he has learned along the way.

Born to first-generation American parents in the working-class neighborhood of Queens, New York, Andrew M. Cuomo grew up in a family anchored by a shared belief in community, hard and honest work, and helping others. His father, Mario, led by example, as a tireless advocate for local residents, instilling in his son a passion for public service. From stapling up posters as a sixteen-year-old during his father's first political campaign to managing at twenty-five Mario's successful 1982 bid for New York State governor, Andrew Cuomo witnessed at a young age the power of politics to effect change for the common good. These experiences, reinforced by deeply held personal values, guided him, from novice campaign manager to visionary reform crusader to Clinton cabinet member—at thirty-nine—to groundbreaking governor of his home state. Laying out his unique approach to challenging the status quo, All Things Possible is not a traditional political memoir, but rather one man's revelatory reflection on a life defined by a commitment to public service, and the hard-won truths gleaned from both his struggles and his successes.

In recounting his uphill battles to redefine the way America deals with homelessness, rehabilitate the legislative process in Albany, and bring marriage equality to New York, Cuomo presents an inspiring blueprint for greater political cooperation and efficacy. He also unflinchingly examines his failed 2002 gubernatorial bid, which heralded a dark period of political and personal turmoil, to illustrate why failure is inextricably bound up with success, why we should never forget where we come from, and the importance of balancing personal and professional commitments. And he proves, through all that he's achieved since his victory in the 2010 election, that our biggest triumphs lie not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

A Good Read

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020

I originally bought this book as a thank you for all those briefings. It is turning out to be very interesting. I hope there will be a second book taking up the story after this one.

2020 Review of Gov Cuomo

Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2020

Verified Purchase

Clearly a bimodal distribution of opinion in these reviews! I am not a New Yorker but am grateful for Cuomos daily lucid truthful press conferences about covid. I found bis memoir and was particularly interested in how he recovered from failure. What he learned held him in good stead and resulted in most of us looking to New York for accurate blunt and science based help. His leadership was what the country needed.

Let it be known that President Trump is my hero. I dedicated my future best-selling book, "Donald Trump and My Eating Disorder: How the President Ended My War With Food" to President Trump. But, despite my adoration for the great President Trump, I want to marry Governor Andrew Cuomo! Oh my! His beautifully strong, steady, and compassionate daily briefings during the coronavirus pandemic caused me to swoon and piqued my interest on his book, "All Things Possible: Setbacks and Success in Politics and Life." And, the book has caused me, a capitalist hard rock of a Republican, to want to stand by his side and to help the homeless. His book, to me, reveals that he is a fundamental conservative who deeply cares about humans. Governor Cuomo makes the reader respect and love his great late father. He makes the reader respect and love the sanctity of family. If he is extending invitations to attend Sunday spaghetti dinner, or if he wants a cute fishing partner, then please contact me. Excellent, poignant, often times hysterical book! He paints adventure into the most ordinary of stories such as shopping for dinnerware with his adolescent children post divorce, such as arriving dressed as a pretentious fashion snob (which he is not!) to meet his future in-laws, such as coaching Al Gore on his campaign speeches, such as restoring the castles built by his grandfather, such as cutting grass as his grandmother followed closely behind to ensure perfection. A divine book from cover to cover. I think that he will make a great president. He is the only man on Earth who can give President Trump a run for his money in 2020. Thank you for existing, Governor Cuomo! The world is a better place because of your existence. Five stars on a life well lived! Five stars on a fabulous book!

I understand now why he was so effective as a comforter during the early days of that devastating civic insanity. He's a comforter and a plain old hard worker.

It was like Andrew Cuomo was sitting at your kitchen table and telling you the up & downs of political life. His easy going, witty communication skills made the book easy to read. I didn't want it to end - I'm sure he had more stories to share !

Overcoming Setbacks Makes All Things Possible

Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2021

Verified Purchase

The mosaic of Andrew Cuomo's life experience is rich with service to others, setbacks, defeats, and victories. It proves that there is absolutely nothing that happens to you, that can stop you when you have a vision, determination and take action.
It gives an inside look into politics from a man whose values set him apart from most politicians.
It's a story of the adoration he has for his entire family and the fatherly pride in his beautiful, smart and loving girls (Cara, Mariah and Michaela).
The book shows soul and humility and is definitely worth the read. You will be inspired.

Not what I expected! It is his political autobiography. Quite boring. I did not continue reading after the first chapter. Unlike his pandemic briefing

I didn't get the book

Reviewed in Canada on July 29, 2020

I really love Amazon; however, in this case, there was a real hassle. Tried to put this book on my Kindle, it came on my computer, which I don't take to read on. I was charged on my credit card for the book ($10 for a credit from Amazon for a previous order) and $10 for the book. I tried very hard to contact Amazon - by phone, by email. I tried reversing the cost of the book which was on my credit card - nope. No book, got charged. Sorry, I am most pleased with Amazon and will continue to order through them, but in this case - no bananas. Thanks for the opportunity to provide this feedback.
