Anderson Cooper is a top-notch journalist. This book surprised me by how much he opened up about his personal life...the bad things that he has faced during his life. As a newspaper reporter myself, I can attest that very few journalists come to this type of job without having a difficult past...something that makes them want to make the world a better place by the work they do. The work is also a way to avoid our own personal pain by trying to focus on helping others in their times of turmoil. Instead of the escape he probably wanted his job in the end has made him face many personal demons.

The book wasn't what I expected. But, I am glad I read it. It gives more insight to a wonderful journalist. It definitely explains why he cares so much.
