I'm sure most of us have heard and seen Anderson Cooper, but this book is an insight into the person behind the public face. He does an excellent job weaving stories of tragedies he views and reports on with the tragedies in his personal life - losing his father at an early age and the suicide of his brother. He tells of how a reporter in many ways divorces himself from the scenes yet on an inner level feels and reacts in ways that may come out later. I highly recommend this book to anyone who still sees humanity in this world where we see so much that we sometimes overlook the individuals involved.
