One, the speech he gave to the McGill Medical School graduation class in 1993 is probably the best speech for graduation day genre, I've ever read. No, not probably. It just is- period.
This is too superb and edited by his son most excellently. It's brimmed with a cup overflowing toward emotion paired with precise logic, and yet succinct in word craft nailing to the logical analysis.

Krauthammer is a singularly brilliant voice in American discourse. After so many decades, his voice has been silenced. But, in his waning months, he left us all a gift, The Point of it All, a sort of greatest hits collection of his columns in the Washington Post and the New Republic. These columns carry Krauthammer's gentlemanly voice, one that speaks to you with reason, logic, and humor, unlike so many of the shrill voices yelling today from all sides of political discourse. His columns range i..more
Civility, reason, accuracy and intelligence are hallmarks of the writing of Charles Krauthammer and to my mind what our political discourse should be. While I often disagree with his positions, being more of a 'central left' political type (depending on the topic) I can only respect his comments and arguments and wish that what passes for political argument today were more in this mold. Few people have his command of the language, the logical progression of his pronouncements and his ability to..more

I learned that Australia has been the only ally to the United States in every military conflict since 1914. This is one of the many things I learned from the writings of the late Charles Krauthammer. He loved the island of Australia so much that he even married a woman from Australia. Krauthammer used a wheelchair for most of his adult life, and I have used a wheelchair my entire life. He believed that not every place can be wheelchair accessible, but that will not stop me from trying to enjoy l..more

While it’s not often a person seeks out a book of a compilation of newspaper columns, I spent my career in the journalism field (and it doesn’t hurt that I’m an avid Krauthammer fan AND agree with ever position in the book), Krauthammer’s book is the best book of compiled columns I’ve ever read (again in full disclosure, I’ve read two..the other is Michael Gartner’s, a liberal..the two are a great dichotomy).

There are a few bright spots here that dissuade me from handing out the one-star rating. Primary among them are cogent and intellectually consistent arguments on medical ethics, which I find to be connected indubitably to the author's deeply held views on suicide. Krauthammer's enduring passion for these topics is obviously rooted in his experiences as both a former medical doctor and a disabled man (or am I flirting too closely with his dreaded identity politics?). Correspondingly, the sense of..more
The Amazing Charles Krauthammer!
I’ve been a fan of Charles Krauthammer for a long time, so I’m biased.
Anyone who is a fan needs to read/listen to this book. Much of it is copies of his articles over the years. You will need a grasp of history to appreciate many of his comments, but they are as valuable today as when written.
I have always been impressed by the balance and thoughtfulness of Mr. Krauthammer’s opinions, and this book bore that out even more. He covers a wide range of topics, and y..more

RIP Mr. Krauthammer. What a great, decent, and intelligent man.
The book is a compilation of Charles’ speeches and articles. Most are 3 pages long. It made for a great accompaniment to the current novels I’m reading. In between all my novels I’d read an article from this book. (I’m reading way too many books at once presently.).

The Point of It All: A Lifetime of Great Loves and Endeavors, by Charles Krauthammer, author; David Krauthammer, editor and narrator
This book pays homage to a man with a great mind and heart. The world lost him too soon for he had much more to give. Born a Jew, he remained a Jew until he died. He showed respect for his religion, his life and his loved ones, consistently. He was not a man who vacillated between good and evil; he always tried to be just in his discussion of all issues.

Krauthammer at his best! This is one of those books I need to obtain in paper after listening to the audio version (similarly with his 'Things That Matter').
A few non-exhaustive nuggets:
- quoting Isaiah Berlin, 'The defining proposition of liberal democracy is that it mandates means--elections, parliament, markets--but not ends. Democracy leaves the goals of life entirely up to the individual. Where the totalitarian state decrees life's purposes, democracy leaves the public square naked.'

Having grown up reading his column in the Washington Post, it was with great fondness that I began this book. Many of the columns I remembered, not just for what he had written, but because they transported me back in time. A time in Northern Virginia when I could sit and discuss with friends and colleagues different opinions, different ideas, all quite peaceably and without rancor.

This is the second anthology released near the end of Krauthammer's life. Thus you have the 'second best cut' of his lifetime oeuvre. But it's still very good indeed. It could be mind-numbing to read dozens of newspaper columns, which are designed to be here today and in the bin tomorrow, but his writing is so crisp, so levelheaded, that it is actually a delight to wade through these chapters. Were they repetitive after a while? A bit, but never annoyingly so--I suppose I might feel differently..more
How does someone go from Physician to Philosopher? From Mondale’s speechwriter to Bush 43’s advisor? Apparently by being thoughtful, principled, and very articulate. When my booked club picked this I was braced for Fox News in print. What I found was surprisingly open-minded. I didn’t agree with every position but found myself challenged to think.

Wow. What an incredibly insightful writer and mind. I have to admit that this is the first time that I've read any of Krauthammer's columns. I always thought he came off well on Fox News, but his writing is so much more powerful. Krauthammer has a gift to pithily explain the opposing view, but honestly. He presents nuance that is lacking in today's discourse.
this book is excellent. Put it on your want to read list!
A wide and pretty interesting array of Krauthammer’s columns. Overall, it’s very well-written and his son’s contributions are so heartfelt. I enjoyed the sections on space and practicing medicine and American identify the most. Sometimes I was surprised by his stances and sometimes I disagreed with his arguments, but it did make me miss him and his analysis even more.

I often referred to Charles Krauthammer as “the smartest man in America” and if I found myself President he would have been my first pick for chief of staff. This book is a posthumous collection of columns, essays and editorials he wrote, arranged topically. His son put it together and, while it has merit, it’s not quite as cohesively profound as his previous book, Things That Matter. But regardless of my nitpicking, a few minutes reading Krauthammer beats a few minutes of reading most other peo..more

Great Man/Book
Over the years I got to know him from TV, never read anything he wrote. Got to like him, and look forward to his knowledge. Reading his book, the second one, I got to know The man, and liked him even more. Getting to know about his family, that I knew nothing about, made even better for me. Will miss him.

(Audiobook) This is a posthumous collections of the writings of noted pundit and columnist Charles Krauthammer. It spans a wide swath of his career, from when he first started writing back in the mid 1980s to his final essays under the Trump Administration. You can appreciate the quality in his work and the depth of thought he tries to put in each piece of writing. For the most part, I could appreciate his work, and found some of his perspectives enlightening. He was a solid, classic conservativ..more
His use of the English language is amazing and unmatched. His logic, presentation of his logic and support for said logic is very difficult to refute. His son’s remembrance of Mr. Krauthammer is heart felt and poignant. I highly recommend the book for a variety of reasons, the most important is it’s depth of thought about fast moving, political events where words coupled with thought lead one to conclusions contrary to MSM blither.

This book was a work of love by a son for his father; it was a collaboration the two men and of necessity was completed by the son after the father's death. The book is assembled into themed sections. Most of the works span Charles' career though there are a goodly number that he wrote during the last 2 or 3 years. It also contains his final column in which he says goodbye prior to his imminent death. I didn't rate it a full 5 stars due to the fact that the writings were not all death-bed epipha..more

Not many 5 stars out there, but this collection of Krauthammer essays is a must read for anyone interested in public policy. Krauthammer has that rare ability to be insightful, humorous and original in his ideas and writing, and force the reader to pause after each essay to reevaluate previous views and approaches. Some highlights:

Krauthammer to me was a true intellectual giant who presented himself with good humor and humility to those of us less learned. Whether through the written word (this was his last book) or the spoken he enlightened us (especially me) with his grasp of complex issues and his ability to present/discuss those issues with clarity. He never pretended to be the absolute authority just a thoughtful man stating his opinions while encouraging debate. The world needs more Krauthammer's.
I received this book along with a beautiful afghan and I quickly wrapped myself up and settled into my favorite chair to read the writings of Charles Krauthammer. The only bad thing I can say about the book is that is it the last book by Charles. He and his son, Daniel, carefully selected articles and speeches that Charles had produced over the years that created a tapestry of what Charles believed to be the meaning of many things in his life. Charles reflects on many events in history that he l..more
This is the second book I have read by this author and it is a great compilation of his earlier writings and speeches. Paralyzed for many years he did not slow down but took life as a challenge. He was a voice people listened to and found wisdom and practicality in what he said on many subjects. He passed away in 2018 after battling cancer. This book was started by him and completed by his son Daniel.
