In the video above—the latest in a series from Slate, 92Y, and New America—the 2012 presidential candidate and former ambassador to China offers advice for the next president of the United States. Each Monday this election season, we’ll publish a short video in which a policy-maker, writer, or thinker gives the next commander in chief a few pointers on how to handle the highest office in the land.

He also suggests a bestselling book with some lessons the next president would do well to learn.
