In
Settle For More, the NBC News anchor reflects on the enduring experiences and values which have shaped her; from being brought up in a family which rejected the “trophies for everybody” mentality, to her dad’s tragic and sudden death during her time in high school.
She goes behind the scenes of her own career, sharing the struggles and stories which landed her in the anchor chair and taught her how to ask the tough questions. Speaking candidly about her choice to settle for more, this motto that she credits as having dramatically transformed her life both at work and home, she discusses how she abandoned her thriving legal career in order to follow her journalism dreams.
Admired for her humor, hard work, and authenticity, she shines some light on the time she spent at Fox News, the news business, the challenges of being a professional woman and working mom, and her most talked about TV moments. She also talks about Donald Trump’s feud with her openly, revealing some never before heard details about the first Republican debate, its tough aftermath, and how she persevered through all of it.
Surprising and deeply personal, this offers some unparalleled insight into such an intriguing and charismatic journalist, inspiring everybody to embrace the principles, determination, fortitude, and honesty in the face of fear, that have won her fans across the political divide.
