Reviewed by Marilyn Shelton
The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times is an Autobiography book written by Michelle Obama and published on November 15, 2022, by Crown Publishing.
The New York Times & USA Today included the following in their review. “Michelle Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress.”
In this book, Michelle shares stories that are full of insights into how she has learned to take care of herself. She said, “Through my life, I’ve developed what I’m calling a set of tools that help me get through.” She describes her “Personal Toolbox” of habits and practices, attitudes and beliefs that help her move forward during tough times, like during the Covid lockdown. She shares how learning to knit helped her calm her mind, and maintain perspective. She was able to refocus on what she could do, to stay hopeful and balanced, and see her strengths as power, which she freely shares.
In a rewarding blend of powerful stories and profound advice, THE LIGHT WE CARRY inspires readers to examine their own lives, identify their sources of gladness, and connect meaningfully in a turbulent world. Learn more at https://michelleobamabooks.com/
