Discuss 5 Principles for a Successful Life by Newt Gingrich and Jackie Gingrich Cushman
In 1995, Newt Gingrich completed his rise from backbencher to House speaker, leading the first Republican House majority in 40 years. Four years later, GOP colleagues, dissatisfied with his leadership, drove him from the post. Now he is pushing an "American solutions" movement and pondering a presidential run. Gingrich and his daughter, columnist Jackie Gingrich Cushman, have written 5 Principles for a Successful Life: From Our Family to Yours, which includes thoughts on life from a variety of public figures, from Whoopi Goldberg to Bill O'Reilly to Bill Clinton. Gingrich originally conceived the book for children, he said, but found it pertains to everyone. He chatted with U.S. News recently about his rules for living and how they can be applied to the two political parties. Weigh in on the discussion below, and don't forget to check out the interview in the latest U.S.News Digital Weekly.
