Jessie Kanzer,\\xa0a half-Ukrainian child of the USSR who had a small part in\\xa0Zelensky\\u2019s first major film,\\xa0sees\\xa0Zelensky\\xa0as\\xa0"a\\xa0spiritual\\xa0leader for\\xa0our\\xa0times."\\xa0\\xa0As a native Russian speaker (like\\xa0Zelensky\\xa0himself), she picks up on the deep philosophical ramifications behind his words. Rich and yet easy-to-read, the life lessons in\\xa0UNLOCKING YOUR INNER\\xa0ZELENSKY\\xa0are accessible and wise, and are more about starting where you are than about war.

Each chapter begins with a key piece of wisdom drawn from\\xa0Zelensky\'s words,\\xa0along with advice\\xa0for implementing it\\xa0in our own life. Readers will see how\\xa0Zelensky\\xa0handled his much-criticized background as a comedian when he came into elective office.\\xa0\\xa0Topics\\xa0include:

  • Speak Truth to Everything
  • \\n

  • \\n
  • Decide with Courage
  • \\n
  • Use Your Energy Wisely
  • \\n

Tips include spreading graciousness, and acknowledging that it\'s not "all about you" to erase differences in backgrounds.

Kanzer is a self-described "spiritual nerd" who followed\\xa0Zelensky\\xa0long before he stood before a blue and yellow backdrop on the national stage. She writes, "What is so incredible about our man Volodymyr is that his belief in himself stems not from seeing himself as special, but from seeing himself as ordinary and from knowing there is great power in this ordinariness."
