He recalls the uprisings of 2010, which he witnessed from France. He describes being asked to participate in Ali Laarayedh's government, and beginning to work closely with Mehdi Jomaa. Ouerfelli was one of few people who continued working for the new government after the departure of Laarayedh's government and the Troika. Ouerfelli relates his daily work as a minister in Jomaa's government and examines how Jomaa's approach encouraged collaboration and conflict resolution. Jomaa's background in management enabled him to build a close-knit team that worked together with efficiency and without involvement in party politics. By the end of the mandate, Ouerfelli felt proud of his contribution to democracy in Tunisia. He also analyzes the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to the Tunisian National Dialogue Quartet in 2015.
