About this listen
When Oprah Winfrey speaks, the world listens. Health - both emotional and physical - and general wellness are the topics she often focuses upon. She is completely transparent with her own struggles in these areas, allowing herself to be relatable while also inspiring change.
She has been ranked the richest African American of the 20th century and the greatest black philanthropist in American history and was once the world’s only black billionaire.
In short, Oprah Winfrey is a boss.
There can be no doubting the inspiration and influence she has been for women and men from around the globe. She overcame a terrible start in life to run the most successful talk show of all time for nearly three decades, not to mention her countless other achievements. The journey that is Oprah’s life is about overcoming the odds, and we would be foolish not to learn the many lessons she has to offer.
This book takes a look at Oprah's life, from humble beginnings in Mississippi to present-day superstar. The aim of this book is to be educational and inspirational, with actionable principles you can incorporate into your own life straight from the great woman herself.
Including 40 little known facts and 10 success principles to live by.

Story
There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with listeners, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?

Have you ever wondered "Why did I do that?" or "Why can't I just control my behavior?" Others may judge our reactions and think, "What's wrong with that person?" When questioning our emotions, it's easy to place the blame on ourselves; holding ourselves and those around us to an impossible standard. It's time we started asking a different question. Through deeply personal conversations, Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What’s wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?”

A US Dept. of Justice survey found that females ages 16-24 are more vulnerable to partner violence than any other group, almost triple the national average. Cases like Chris Brown's assault on pop star Rihanna showed an ugly side of adolescent life. However, Queen Latifah has always been a shining example of a woman happy with herself and unwilling to compromise to fit into the "hollywood ideal" of what a confident beautiful woman should look like.

While most contemporary Enneagram books stop at the descriptions of the nine types, Enneagram teacher and The Sacred Enneagram best-selling author Chris Heuertz uncovers the missing link in our journey of living into our true self: radical self-compassion that can bring us back to belonging. Rather than get stuck on stereotypes or curated personality, Heuertz proposes we develop an honest relationship with our type, confronting our "inner dragons," practicing self-compassion, and thereby coming to fully belong to ourselves - and, ultimately, to love itself.

Big potential that was not used
The narrative part of the book is of a very low quality, with weird pauses in sentences and overall spoken accent which is influencing user’s experience. There is a summary after chapters that are very repetitive of what has been already said, so is the last chapter. It is a good try and Oprah’s story makes it still interesting but in my opinion, the concept and Oprah’s life itself would deserve more thought.

Enjoyed the storyline
Thank you for this! My feedback would be that I wish the life lessons section was longer and more elaborate (including stories of their life struggle) and that it included summary of their daily routine so that others can understand what a successful and influential persons daily routine looks like and learn more that. Thank you 🙏

Very good book, very poor performance
When listening to audible, a person needs to enjoy the experience. Reading a book is not the same as listening to the book. The information is the same but the presentation is auditory. The presentation was very poor because the voice was annoying. Her voice was monotone. It was hard to enjoy the Audible because the voice is hard to listen to.
I would use a different reader with a soothing voice that fluctuates. I would re-record the same book.. Then I would give it 5 stars.
