About this ebook

Whether it’s asking tough questions during a presidential debate or pressing for answers to today’s most important issues, Megyn Kelly has demonstrated the intelligence, strength, common sense, and courage that have made her one of today’s best-known journalists, respected by women and men, young and old, Republicans and Democrats.

In Settle for More, the NBC News anchor reflects on the enduring values and experiences that have shaped her—from growing up in a family that rejected the "trophies for everyone" mentality, to her father’s sudden, tragic death while she was in high school. She goes behind-the-scenes of her career, sharing the stories and struggles that landed her in the anchor chair and taught her to ask the tough questions. Speaking candidly about her decision to "settle for more"—a motto she credits as having dramatically transformed her life at home and at work—Megyn discusses how she abandoned a thriving legal career to follow her journalism dreams.

Admired for her hard work, humor, and authenticity, Megyn sheds light on the news business, her time at Fox News, the challenges of being a professional woman and working mother, and her most talked about television moments. She also speaks openly about Donald Trump’s feud with her, revealing never-before-heard details about the first Republican debate, its difficult aftermath, and how she persevered through it all.

Deeply personal and surprising, Settle for More offers unparalleled insight into this charismatic and intriguing journalist, and inspires us all to embrace the principles—determination, honesty, and fortitude in the face of fear—that have won her fans across the political divide.

Ratings and reviews

Boring!! She is so full of herself.. I did not even bother to finish this book.. No longer a fan of Megyn Kelly.. I'm very disillusioned.. I wouldn't waste my money if I hadn't been a former Fox News supporter.. I had to give it one star as it wouldn't take any less, but I feel like this is overrating the book!

It was so bad I could not bring myself to finish it. Usually I feel that I have to finish it because I have time invested...I felt the opposite way when it came to this book.

She is an inspiration for all her trials and tribulations in her younger years and now. I have to admit i didn't Care for her much because im a big trump fan but i have a whole new found respect for her. She's a badass b----! In a mans world thats the only reason she why she has so many haters. Keep your head up!!! You are amazing. And people stop bullying her now. Its clear who actually read the book and who is trolling all over her reviews. Don't. Listen to them. This is the reason the whole rating system sucks.
