The Kennedy name has long been synonymous with wealth, power, glamor, and—above all else—integrity. But this carefully constructed veneer hides a dark truth: the pattern of Kennedy men physically and psychologically abusing women and girls, leaving a trail of ruin and death in each generation’s wake. Through decades of scandal after scandal—from sexual assaults to reputational slander, suicides to manslaughter—the family and their defenders have kept the Kennedy brand intact.

Wow... I devoured this exceptionally well researched and captivatingly written book. A treasure drove of myth-busting, heart-wrenching, and powerful "stories behind the stories" of three generations of women in the Kennedy orbit. Truly mesmerizing.

Beyond Gripping
Reviewed: 09-30-23
This is the first Audible review I've ever written (of probably 25 books I've listened to). This book was so gripping, I literally could not stop listening and finished in 2 days. The engaging writing keeps the book moving in a way that as soon as you finish one chapter you feel compelled to go right into the next. And the ending... wow, I did NOT see that coming. Highly recommend!!

From social disruptions like economic recessions, pandemics, and new technologies to individual disruptions like getting married or divorced, illness and injury, career transitions, and becoming a parent, we undergo change and transformation—both good and bad—regularly. Change is not the exception. It’s the rule. Yet we endlessly fight it, often viewing it as a threat to our stability and sense of self.

Brad's Best Book Yet!
Reviewed: 09-23-23
Being in a change heavy part of my life right now - both personally and professionally - I've been reading a lot about how to navigate uncertainty and flux. When Master of Change came out I ordered it on Audible right away and finished it in 3 days. (I would have finished it faster but for stopping to take so many notes from this insightful work). This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to up-level their ability to deal with life's inevitable twists and turns.
In reading some of the prior reviews posted, I noticed a few that mention politics - a reference to a mere 2 pages of the entire book. In those pages Brad points out (factually) that throughout the history of mankind, there have been leaders and influencers who propose returning to the "glory days of the past" as the solution for dealing with current and future change. As written, the passage is merely one of many examples throughout the book about our very understandable human fears around change, feelings that have existed in hearts and minds for centuries. It is not about pointing fingers or making political statements.
The ability to harness the power of change is a skill every human can benefit from. And THIS is what Brad's thoughtful, well-researched book is about. It's a delightful read. Highly recommend.
