Psaki will be in with American lawyer, law professor and political commentator, Harry Litman. In Say More, Psaki explains her straightforward approach to communication, walking readers through difficult conversations as well as moments where humor saves the day―whether it is with preschoolers, partners, or presidents. She addresses the best ways to give and receive feedback, how to connect with your audience, how to listen actively, and much more. Say More is the book Psaki wishes she had when she started her career, and is a trove of entertaining, essential lessons from one of the most prominent voices in American politics today. Jen Psaki is the host of MSNBC's Sunday afternoon and Monday evening program, Inside with Jen Psaki. She served as the thirty-fourth White House Press Secretary under President Biden until May 2022. Over the course of her twenty years in public service, Psaki also served as White House Communications Director under President Obama, as the spokesperson for the State Department under then Secretary of State John Kerry, and worked on three presidential campaigns. She lives in Arlington, Virginia, with her husband and two children. Harry Litman is the creator of “Talking San Diego,” an all-new speaker series featuring conversations with some of the nation’s most interesting and prominent figures. A former United States Attorney, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, and clerk to two Supreme Court justices, Litman is also the senior legal columnist for the LA Times op-ed page; a practicing lawyer specializing in constitutional law and the False Claims Act; and a frequent legal and political commentator on MSNBC, CNN, CBS, and NPR.
