"They've changed careers. They've become mothers and fathers. They've retired into next chapters, and they've figured out… that work-life balance that everybody's looking for."
Among those featured in the book are "Special Report" anchor Bret Baier, "Jesse Watters Primetime" host Jesse Watters, "Fox & Friends" co-host Ainsley Earhardt, "The Story" anchor Martha MacCallum, and even country music star Dierks Bentley.
Short Questions For Dana Perino About Her New Book
Perino says what makes these voices stand out is how hard they've worked to get where they are.
"One of the things that's a joy about working with the people here who contributed to this book is that a lot of people didn't come from trust funds," she said.
"You worked hard, you worked everywhere. I was a country music DJ. I worked overnights during college so that I could get into the TV business. And then I went into politics, and then I was able to come back here and, over time, was given opportunities that are incredible."
"I Wish Someone Had Told Me" helps readers tackle relatable challenges, including navigating burnout, managing relationships, and making space for life beyond work, offering wisdom and encouragement for anyone striving to build a life they love.
The author told "Fox & Friends" co-host Steve Doocy that the wisdom he offered in the book has already made an impression on "Jesse Watters Primetime" producer Johnny Belisario.
"He read it over the weekend, and your piece of advice in the back… is his favorite story in the book," Perino recalled. "It basically is: be nice to everybody."

Passengers stuck on a delayed flight to Seattle get an unexpected concert from jazz band
Passengers on a flight from St. Louis to Seattle got an unexpected pick-me-up when jazz saxophonist Dave Koz and bandmates held an impromptu jam session in the aisle while the plane was stuck on the tarmac hundreds of miles from their final destination. It happened Aug. 11, when Koz and fellow musicians on the Dave Koz & Friends Summer Horns Tour were headed to Seattle for two days of shows. What was supposed to be a direct flight was beset by delays, including having to divert to Boise, Idaho, after flight crew members timed out and needed to be relieved, and the plane encountered a mechanical issue, Koz said Tuesday. Advertisement Passengers on a flight from St. Louis to Seattle got an unexpected pick-me-up when jazz saxophonist Dave Koz and bandmates held an impromptu jam session in the aisle. AP This wasn't the first delay the band experienced since its tour started around mid-July, and it even had to cancel two shows because of travel-related issues, Koz said. But the delay last week was particularly deflating, not just for the musicians but for everyone on the plane. 'You could just feel the energy. Everybody was so frustrated,' Koz said. Advertisement A flight attendant who saw the musicians bring their instruments on board asked if they'd be willing to play a song while they were stuck in Boise. A video of them performing Stevie Wonder's 'You Haven't Done Nothin'' — the closer to their show — went viral on social media. It shows Koz and fellow saxophone player Marcus Anderson grooving in the aisle with other horn players behind them, and Jeff Bradshaw on trombone getting creative to play the large instrument between seats. A flight attendant who saw the musicians bring their instruments on board asked if they'd be willing to play a song while they were stuck in Boise, according to reports. AP Passengers are seen smiling and swaying in their seats, with some recording the performance on their phones. Advertisement Anderson said it felt good to lift spirits, though Koz admitted being nervous that some passengers might not like 'horns playing in people's ears.' Anderson likened the feeling afterward to that of a great workout at the gym. The musicians never thought about the possibility of going viral, he said. 'It was just doing something good for the people.' Advertisement They performed just the one song, but they knew that was enough. 'It just was right, and it brought everybody together in a way that was very special,' Koz said. 'I'll remember that moment for the rest of my life.'
