THE NO. 1 BESTSELLERShortlisted for Biography of The Year, Irish Book Awards 2025‘Refreshingly honest’ Guardian'Whatever your views on Varadkar and his political legacy, you'll be gripped by these stories.’ Sunday Independent ‘There is gossip, revealing text exchanges and entertaining titbits … the reader gets a good sense of the pressures of serving as taoiseach.’ Diarmaid Ferriter, Irish Times---Leo Varadkar shares his fascinating experience as Irish prime minister at a time of much change and turbulence, in this remarkably honest memoir.Leo Varadkar was an unlikely Taoiseach – the youngest on taking office in 2017, the first Taoiseach to be gay, and the first person of colour to be Taoiseach.Equally unlikely was his decision to bow out of politics in his mid-forties. Now, liberated from the constraints of office, he tells his fascinating story with characteristic courage and candour, and provides a unique insight into the formation and evolution of a senior politician.In Speaking My Mind Leo Varadkar shares his pride in helping to bring about transformational changes, such as marriage equality. He describes experiences that only a prime minister could have – speaking frankly to Pope Francis on the legacy of church abuses, connecting with Barack Obama about both being the ‘tall, dark guy with the funny name’, navigating challenges such as the pandemic and the fallout from Brexit. And he writes honestly about the costs that go with the immense privilege of holding high office.Speaking My Mind is a revealing, intimate and important memoir from a singular public figure.---'A great read ... fascinating insights' Brendan O’Connor, RTÉ Radio 1 ‘Candid … engagingly honest’ Financial Times ‘A lively and easy read and can help in future examinations of a very fast-changing Ireland’ Irish Independent‘Breezy, readable’ The Times‘Brings to life some of the behind-the-scenes moments of what has been a transformative period in Irish and global politics’ Sunday Independent
