Pope Francis in his autobiography combines emotionally colored episodes with a deep commitment to social issues and invites readers to participate in his "pedagogy of joy". It conveys that humor plays an important role in life and encourages to counter the challenges of life with resilience and optimism. His book not only reflects his own life, but also his vision for the future of the Catholic Church and society in general.
