#1 New York Times Bestseller

#1 Wall Street Journal Bestseller

From her years as a press secretary for a President to her daily debates with colleagues on Fox News' The Five, Dana Perino reveals the lessons she's learned that have guided her through life, including stories from behind the scenes at the White House with President George W. Bush that the cameras never captured in AND THE GOOD NEWS IS...now available in paperback.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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

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.

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!

April 26, 2015

There's a reason this book is #1...it's interesting, it's full of life lessons, and Dana is a first class lady.

I relate to Dana's upbringing where she felt both freedom and protection from being surrounded by people of good character. I agree with her sense of personal responsibility, hard work ethic, and taking ownership for the way you talk to others even if you disagree.

These are my favorite types of books to read: Ones where you can follow a little breadtrail to see how one life experience leads to another to another to another. As a counselor, adjunct professor, author and voracious reader, I enjoy hearing about people experiences and trusting God is working out a plan, even when times are hard.

This book would make a perfect graduation gift!

A good read for a rainy afternoon and there's no golf to watch and the dog is taking care of watching the paint dry.

July 9, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Very good for the first half. Her growing up in Wyoming was very interesting. Some of her experiences on the way to being press secretary for George Bush were interesting and delightful. And it was still somewhat intriguing following the end of the Bush term and on to her joining Fox News as a commentator and then starring on the Five. And then BOOM...all she has left to add is some advice to young people on how to get ahead and have as brilliant a career as she did. I'm 71 I'm not looking for a job. If I wanted a book on career advice I would have shopped the self help department at B & N. If she read her own book she would discover that most of her career advances was simple happenstance. Luck. Vice President Chaney being from Wyoming didn't hurt either. Although she didn't say so. So...if you only have time to read half a book of light historical biography, this is for you. But if you are solely interested in a self help book on how to be successful (without really trying) this could be for you too. Just start in the middle. Or if you like simple bios and you need some training in job hunting and career success... hey you have a twofer. Don't get excited you have to buy the whole book either way for those who want only half. The only ones who get their money's worth are the bored and the jobless. Hope this is of help. I think. I don't really care.
