Description
Its a great book and he should be proud of it.
President Bill Clinton
Successful businessman, activist, and philanthropist, and 2026 candidate for governor of California Stephen J. Cloobeck applies an unflinching problem-solvers eye to Americas most pervasive challenges.
Cloobeck built his reputation transforming dysfunctional companies at the brink of ruin into performance powerhouses. In Facing Hard Truths, he focuses this proven business acumen on our most pressing concerns like immigration, crime, the cost of living, and the coarsening of political discourse. He offers sometimes toughbut always sincerelessons learned over a lifetime of public and private sector experience.
From his first job bussing tables in a small California restaurant, to his time operating a global hospitality juggernaut, to helming federal public-private partnerships, state agencies, and local organizations, Cloobecks journey propelled him from busboy to boardroom. In this book, he relies on the action-oriented principles that drove his personal success to outline a plan that will take California, and America, from flailing back to flourishing.
With a refusal to pander and a no-nonsense assessment of todays most salient issues, Cloobeck argues our countrys ability to effectively navigate the future depends on a reaffirmed commitment to:
Integrity
Collaboration
Respect for rules and norms
Economic inclusivity
A return to competence
Putting others first
Fostering of social trust
In Facing Hard Truths, Cloobecks engaging storytelling and straight-shooting proposals leave readers feeling heard, respected, and above all, eager to set aside political differences and get back to what really matters: creating an America that is more affordable, liveable, and opportunity-rich for all.
