About this listen

AN INSTANT NUMBER ONE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER

From New York Times best-selling author and beloved Today show anchor Hoda Kotb comes an inspiring collection of quotes - drawn from her own personal favorites featured on her enormously popular Instagram account - that offer wisdom, courage, and hope.

Several years ago, Today show host Hoda Kotb began posting a variety of quotes on her Instagram page. Some were penned by a favorite writer; others offered a dose of love or laughter. Just when she thought the quotes were meaningful only to her, a funny thing started happening - reactions poured in from thousands of people who were just as moved. The quotes weren't just providing inspiration to Hoda, they were comforting and connecting people. So many of their comments read, "I really needed this today," a phrase that inspired the book's title.

In I Really Needed This Today, Hoda not only shares 365 sayings and quotes, she writes about the people and experiences that have pushed her to challenge boundaries, embrace change, and explore relationships to their fullest. Written with her signature wit and warmth, this audiobook is the ideal companion to listen to in bed or to bring with you on-the-go to keep you motivated, recharged, and inspired each day.

Having a friend who was diagnosed in August with an aggressive cancer has left me feeling empty some days. I came across this book in November and immediately knew I had to download it. It was two of my favorite things- positive quotes and Hoda. Days that seemed long or particularly hard, this book became my refreshing moment on my long drive home. I recently gifted this book to my friend as she undergoes a long procedure. I hope it brings her the same comfort and encouragement it has brought me. Thank you, Hoda.

I’ve already listened to this twice. It’s an audio I’ll listen to many times more! Hoda’s positive outlook on life is inspiring. Although all the quotes were good, December 8th is probably my favorite overall. Thank you for this book Ms. Kotb.

I didn’t know what to expect when I purchased the book but because I watch the writer on the today show I just love her spirit I knew it could not be anything but filled with joy and inspiration. Even in the sad times Hoda’s messages was still inspiring. I’m reading this book during the pandemic and it has just done my heart and soul and a world of good and so glad I read it.
