The runaway bestseller in hardcover is now available in paperback--with even more good news!

Thoughtful, inspiring, and often surprising, AND THE GOOD NEWS IS . . . traces Dana Perino's unlikely journey through politics and television. It's a remarkable American story-made up of equal parts determination and clear-eyed optimism.

From facing professional challenges and confronting personal fears to stepping up to a podium for a President, Dana has come to expect the unexpected and has an uncanny ability to find the good news in any tough situation. AND THE GOOD NEWS IS . . . takes us from her Western childhood in Wyoming and Colorado to a chance meeting on an airplane that changes her life entirely. Then, with refreshing honesty and humor, she recounts her frustration with a string of unsatisfying jobs and living circumstances until a key career tip leads her back to Washington, D.C. to work for the Bush Administration.

Dana also shares here her best work and life lessons-tips that will help you to get your point across convincingly while allowing your own grace and personality to shine through. As someone who still believes in working together to solve the problems our nation faces, Dana offers clear, practical advice on how to restore civility to our personal and public conversations. The result is a fascinating read that can help anyone become more successful, productive, and joyously content.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This book is a gem--modest and moving, clear and unpretentious. It gives the kind of practical and even ethical advice everyone starting out needs, but it's also funny and full of great stories. Dana is a true role model."―Peggy Noonan

"A lovely memoir, both charming and wise, studded with invaluable life lessons garnered on her fascinating journey to the highest levels of media and government. A wonderful read."―Charles Krauthammer

"Part autobiography, part memoir of a press secretary in the White House, part career and life guidance, and part appeal to civility, Dana Perino's AND THE GOOD NEWS IS... is all parts captivating."―Donna Brazile

"With this delightful blend of the political, personal, and professional, Dana Perino gives us a useful glimpse into one of the most remarkable workplaces in the world, the White House. Political junkies will revel in her insider tales but every reader will come away knowing more about the human dimension of working in the most powerful place on the planet."―Mike McCurry, former White House Press Secretary to President Bill Clinton

"Congrats to Dana Perino! It's a great read, BTW. Little House on the Prairie meets West Wing."―Chris Stirewalt, Digital Politics Editor Fox News

"This book is perfect for anyone interested in politics, media or simply advice about taking courageous chances in life, love and work. Dana has written a book that is as accessible for those who are just starting out on their career path as for those who are long-time students of current events and history."―Julie Roginsky, Fox News Contributor

"The book is a study in character, and why surrounding one's self with people of good character (from Dana's husband, parents and grandparents to Tony Snow and George W. Bush) leads to a life well lived."―Doug Brunt, author of The Means and Ghosts of Manhattan

"If you want to be inspired by a successful woman who goes from ranching in the West, to the White House, to helping in Africa, to a fine marriage and a loving dog, you will find it in this book. You will also find the kind of honest advice about life, politics and the Presidency that makes you feel good. Now there's a rarity."―Marlin Fitzwater, former White House Press Secretary to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush

Fnally a very uplifting view of the world.

ByRobert Crandallon April 22, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

My wife asked for this book and I ordered it a while ago. True to Amazon's word it arrived the day of it's actual release.
The way she made it into a series of many short stories with very high resolution pictures made it a very good read.
I was also impressed with her fairness of other views which is far from normal in todays Political books. She has a very uplifting view of life along with respect of where she came from. My wife and I highly recommend this book regardless of which side of the aisle you are on.

Smiles, Tears and Hope - Must Read

ByScott Stanzelon April 22, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Dana's book is a refreshing and fun recounting of a remarkable journey from the ranch to the West Wing. She shares amusing and heartfelt stories from her days at the White House sparring with reporters in the Brady Press Briefing Room and advising the President in the Oval Office. Dana's honest and relatable writing helps readers understand what happened inside the White House during consequential events of the Bush Administration. In addition, her optimism and thoughtful advice for those just getting their start in politics leaves you hopeful that civility and good cheer inside the Beltway is still possible. Washington really needs more people like Dana.

I LOVE this book! It is warm, refreshing and genuine! I have already recommended to all my friends and young adults. It is SO inspiring. Wish there were more stories like hers but more importantly more people like her. Dana is a class act and the voice of reason!
Great Mother's Day gift!

Remarkable advice no matter what your age...

ByJanet Stockwellon April 25, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

As a 78 year old guy, husband, father, and person who likes to encourage people, this book is a great read. Not having read other reviews I'll be the first to admit I learned a lot. To say that I would recommend this is an understatement. Be prepared to carve out time when you start reading because you won't want to stop. It's captivating! (Whoops, I used an exclamation point).

Loved it!!!!

ByChuckon April 22, 2015

Dana wrote a wonderful book. I envy her energy, honesty and professionalism.
Peter is a wonderful support in her life and career.
I wish them both all of the very best. Here's hoping that The 5 continues for a very long time and that President Bush 43 will finally receive his well deserved recognition as one of the best.

The smarter she worked~~~the luckier she got.

Byterryon April 25, 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I bought this, because I like The Five; the concept, the content and the personnel. But who are these folks, really?

This young lady, in this memoir, gives us reason to have even more confidence in her and her colleagues. Her preparation for a task is rooted in her upbringing, refined and sculpted by her intelligence, perseverance and people skills. Too, her success is a roller coaster ride not a straight line ascendency.

Now, one doesn't have to be in sync with all that she reveals, or about which she opines, to admire her and enjoy the book. For me, it was like watching the show. Much of it is accepted with a subtle fist pump. Humbly, some is improved by my constructive criticism, sotto voce.

There is much humor, a bit of gossip, and a prudent amount of experience garnered practical advice throughout. She is a kind of modern and feminine version of Dale Carnegie. It ain't trite: it's pith.

You will love her family including her pups, the late-Henry and current Jasper. And the trips to the dog parks will produce a smile or two.

Buy the book. It is a very good read with rumination. Dana Perino is the total package!

Oh, and "white ho" is not about denigration. It's about attention to detail.

Recommended.

ByLarryon April 24, 2015

My wife and I just finished the audio version. We also have the Kindle edition. The Audible reader was quite good and kept our interest. With Bush 43 still bashed and blamed to this day about everything, it was nice and interesting to hear about the compassionate and understanding side of his nature.

And the Good News Is... All About Dana

BySailormanon June 11, 2016

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

“And the Good News Is”, is not at all what I expected, and being a #1 New York Times best seller, I expected it to be a lot better than it is. Because of Ms. Perino’s position on the Fox News program, “The Five,” I was expecting a political insider’s in depth view of past and present politics and political figures, like the dozen or so books I’ve recently read, and with some good news from the American political arena, and the world, rather than all the bad news we are being bombarded with during the current presidential race. Also, this work, while interesting in parts, is not the type of recreational reading I typically seek out. But, I bought it, so I read it, but I knew after the first chapter that this was not a book that I “couldn’t lay down”.

There is no doubt that Ms. Perino is a very intelligent, well-educated, and successful lady who should be proud of her accomplishments thus far in her life, but I knew that without having to read the book.

The inside view we get of the private side of Bush 43, in my opinion, saves the book and makes it worth wadding through some of the dog stories and other warm and fuzzy, and mushy stuff. I had great respect for George W. Bush during his first term in office, but during his last term in office, and the years following, my respect has been waning, and in the Florida primary I just couldn’t bring myself to vote for another Bush. “And the Good News Is” has restored my opinion that George W. Bush was in fact a great and insightful leader who was a real person with feelings, and it has reinstated the respect I originally had for him. From stories Ms. Perino relates it is apparent that President Bush had great respect for the office, the country it represents, and the men and women who serve and die to defend it. Something that cannot be said for the current administration.

Knowing the content, “And the Good News Is” is not a book I would typically buy, it would probably be of some value to young professionals entering the workforce and seasoned managers who are struggling in today’s workplace (I know a few), so I don’t want to go too hard on Ms. Perino. If you are into autobiographies of successful people you would likely give this book a five star rating.
