About this listen

"Winfrey’s warm, familiar voice makes each personal story powerful and entertaining. Her narration adds authenticity to the underlying teachings on the importance of spirit and love. Every lesson is presented with affection and touches the listener with its significance."—AudioFile

This program is read by the author.

In this updated edition of the bestseller that launched Flatiron's list ten years ago, Oprah shares what she has come to know for sure in the last decade.

After film critic Gene Siskel asked her, "What do you know for sure?" Oprah Winfrey began writing the "What I Know For Sure" column in O, The Oprah Magazine. Saying that the question offered her a way to take "stock of her life," Oprah has penned one column a month over the last fourteen years, years in which she retired The Oprah Winfrey Show (the highest-rated program of its kind in history), launched her own television network, became America's only black billionaire, was awarded an honorary degree from Harvard University and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, watched friends and colleagues come and go, and celebrated milestone birthdays. Throughout it all, she's continued to offer her profound and inspiring words of wisdom in her "What I Know For Sure" column in O, The Oprah Magazine.

Now, for the first time, these thoughtful gems have been revised, updated, and collected in What I Know For Sure, a beautiful audiobook packed with insight and revelation from Oprah Winfrey. Organized by theme—joy, resilience, connection, gratitude, possibility, awe, clarity, and power—these essays offer a rare and powerful glimpse into the mind of one of the world's most extraordinary women. Candid, moving, exhilarating, uplifting, and dynamic, the words Oprah shares in What I Know For Sure shimmer with the sort of wisdom and truth that listeners will turn to again and again.

Inspiring

This book was a reminder to reflect on everything you are and remembering what it is you want to be. For those already on a spiritual journey, this is a wonderful reminder. For those of you beginning a new spiritual journey, it’s a great place to start.

everything

Not sure why I bought this version, because I do have the other version, which is fantastic. But although I have the other version, listening to this again was well worth the money has been for it.. again. I absolutely love Oprah's voice it is so soothing, exactly what I need to hear when listening to a book of this type. allowed me to reconnect with things that we tend to take for granted. My favorite chapter is the chapter on gratitude, it just makes me so happy and grateful to have listened again!! Thank you Oprah, for always inspiring me through your books!
