"Mrs. 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. Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles--the earned wisdom that helps her continue to "become." She details her most valuable practices, like "starting kind," "going high," and assembling a "kitchen table" of trusted friends and mentors. With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness"--… (altro)

Love Michelle Obama; her Becoming was one of the best books I’ve ever read. This just doesn’t come close to that at all. Took me almost 2 months to finish ( )

Michelle is just lovely. I enjoyed Becoming a little more, but The Light We Carry is still a great read ( )

Dare to be Brave!



In Becoming, we got a chance to learn Michelle Obama's backstory and the life of times of a First Lady during her husband Barack's presidency. But in The Light, We Carry, Michelle takes us one step further into her personal journey through the years since the COVID-19 pandemic began and shares with the reader the contents of her toolkit. What you won’t be fixing is the leaking sink what you will find a fix for is your soul. I had a very hard time during the first year of the pandemic and after reading this it was nice to know that I am not alone. Given how much time has passed I have learned my only limit is me. That is very freeing to realize.

The book has a hybrid genre, seeming to be both a self-help guide and a memoir. Michelle shares her experiences and emotions during various crucial times, such as after the presidential election following Obama's term and at the start of the pandemic, along with delightful stories from her childhood and moments spent with her insightful and marvelous mother. Additionally, the author offers essential techniques that helped her alleviate her own anxiety.

Despite Michelle's unwavering strength, intelligence, and composure, the vulnerabilities she exposes in her book may surprise you. Nevertheless, Michelle's gift as a public speaker and an individual is her ability to offer reassurance and hope while acknowledging the significant challenges that still exist. Her personal techniques involve pursuing new hobbies like knitting, forming genuine friendships with her trusted Kitchen Table companions, and finding fulfillment in being a mother and a wife. She also credits her mother for instilling in her the qualities of confidence, resilience, and grace in the face of adversity and hatred.

Self-help books can occasionally appear as though they merely rehash existing advice. Yet, I firmly believe that the most effective counsel is often recycled because it has proven successful. The Light We Carry by Michelle Obama, however, accomplishes something exceptional by emphasizing that, despite living in a world that may lack stability or certainty, we are the ones who provide that sense of security. Our innate humanity, compassion, optimism, and especially our light, serves as the foundation of our lives. Michelle's writing expertly reinforces this point.This has truly lifted my spirits and given me hope that positive change is possible if people want to try and change. Do not ever let anyone dim your light. ( )

Nice. Uplifting. Thoughtful. Examples from her life were interesting. I didn't feel exactly motivated or that I walked away with any more tools than I already had or knew to "overcome" but it was a nice book. ( )

If someone in your family tree was trouble,
A hundred were not:

The bad do not win—-not finally,
No matter how loud they are. 

We simply would not be here
If that were so. 

You are made, fundamentally, from the good. 
With this knowledge, you never march alone. 

You are the breaking news of the century. 
You are the good who has come forward 

Through it all, even if so many days
Feel otherwise. 

       —-ALBERTO RFOS,
            FROM “A HOUSE CALLED TOMORROW”
Nothing can dim the light that shines from within.

     —-MAYA ANGELOU
We are each other’s
harvest:
we are each other’s 
business:
we are each other’s
magnitude and bond. 

   —-GWENDOLYN BROOKS,
      FROM “PAUL ROBESON”
What we don’t see, we assume can’t be.
What a destructive assumption. 

   —-OCTAVIA BUTLER

To all those who use their light to make sure that others feel seen. 

This book is dedicated to my mom and dad, Marian and Fraser, who instilled in me the values I’ve long used to navigate the world. Their commonsense wisdom made our home a space where I felt seen and heard, where I could practice making my own decisions, where I could become the kind of person I wanted to be. They were consistently there for me, and their unconditional love taught me that I had a voice very early on in my life. I am so grateful to them for igniting my light.
