Power Forward

My Presidential Education

By: Reggie Love

Narrated by: Reggie Love

A Washington Post bestseller, Power Forward is a compelling professional coming-of-age story from the man who spent more time with Barack Obama during his historic first presidential campaign and term than anyone else.

Reggie Love is a unique witness to history, whose introduction to Washington was working in Junior Senator Barack Obama’s mailroom. As President Obama’s personal aide during that momentous first term, Love sat yards from the Oval Office and often spent more time with the President than anyone else.

In this professional coming-of-age story like no other, Love details the unique and universal lessons learned during his tenure with the President: persistence, responsibility, passion for a cause greater than yourself. In short, maturity.

Power Forward tells how Love’s experiences growing up, from being Obama’s “body man” to playing as captain on the beloved Duke basketball team under Coach Kryzewski.

A great adventure.

I really enjoyed Love! I felt like I was POTUS personal assistant. What a fantastic opportunity. I will buy this book for my brothers.

Truly a unique witness to History

A great insight to the early Obama years. Reggie shares his life's journey into adulthood.

A good read for a professional coming of age!

Not much substance

Too little substance. Talks more about basketball and "coach 'K'" than the President. Lacks depth and actual stories about his "inside" life with Obama.

insightful

interesting , inspiring and of course insightful. you won't get better insight into the challenges President Obama faced in `08 or a look at how a twist of fate can change this yong man's life forever .

Graduation Must Read

This book should be on the must read list for high school students as they make their way into the world of adulthood. It is also a wonderful reminder to people of all ages the difference they can make with a few attitude adjustments. The book is funny, insightful and endearing. Reggie’s respect and admiration for everyone he meets from the everyday joe to the president shows through.
