ReviewsAdvance Praise for How to Be Abe Lincoln This is an invaluable, genre-defying book. Leavened with great humor, it treats Lincoln not only as a giant of history, but, far more uniquely, as the human we should all strive to be. -- Scott Turow, novelist Jonathan Shapiro has pulled out something of a miracle: he has written a book on Abraham Lincoln unlike any other. And it's a joy to behold. It is funny, wise, surprising, and important, not unlike the man himself. In a day when banning books is returning to fashion, we'd all be a lot better off if Jonathan Shapiro's Lincoln book were required reading. -- Stuart Stevens, political consultant, member of the Lincoln Project, and author How to Be Abe Lincoln had me choking with laughter on one page and choking up with emotion on the next. It came from recognizing that "our better angels" are as real and relevant today as the ones guiding Lincoln. Jonathan Shapiro's work of divine humor and wisdom is the book I'll give to all my friends to celebrate whatever holiday comes next, because I can't wait until President's Day to share it. -- Martha Williamson, writer/executive producer of Touched by an Angel, Advance Praise for How to Be Abe Lincoln This is an invaluable, genre-defying book.

SynopsisOver sixty-thousand books have been written about him, and most give us the heroic Lincoln. What we need now is a book that gives us the practical Lincoln. This is that book. "This is an invaluable, genre-defying book. Leavened with great humor, it treats Lincoln not only as a giant of history, but, far more uniquely, as the human we should all strive to be." -- Scott Turow, #1 New York Times bestselling author More than at any time in American history, except perhaps Abe Lincoln's own, we need his help. And not just to inspire us. How to Be Like Abe Lincoln shows us how to survive our dangerously fractious age, one that is too often unmoored from truth, ignorant of facts, and unwilling to do the hard work of becoming better. It is written for those who don't just admire Lincoln but want to emulate his rational, practical approach to law, love, leadership, and life. It identifies the seven steps that made Abe Lincoln legendary and teaches you how to follow them. Written in the accessible, humorous style of Shapiro's previous books and television shows, How to Be Like Abe Lincoln is part history and biography, part philosophy, part memoir, part James Spader rant, and like Lincoln himself, a true original. Above all, it is great storytelling, using narrative to teach and inspire., "This is an invaluable, genre-defying book.
