Summary
The powerful, inspiring follow-up to the critically acclaimed, multi-million #1 bestselling memoir Becoming.
In The Light We Carry, former First Lady Michelle Obama shares practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopeful and balanced in today's highly uncertain world.
She considers 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 do we do when it all starts to feel like too much? Michelle Obama believes that we can all lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux.
The Light We Carry offers listeners 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 overcome various obstacles—the earned wisdom that helps her continue to "become".
With trademark humour, candour, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging listeners to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness. The Light We Carry will inspire listeners to examine their own lives, identify their sources of gladness, and connect meaningfully in a turbulent world.

Shine on!
Worth it for the last chapter alone - inspiring and so beautifully crafted. A reminder of all that is good and all that we should keep fighting for.

Very well-written and inspiring book
I found Michelle’s story very inspiring and her positive approach is contagious. Her approach to partnering, raising kids and many other topics is very authentic.

Really interesting and inspiring
I loved her book Becoming and wasn’t sure what to expect. This is a collection of ideas and advice I think most women can identify with. Loved it.

wise words and such integrity
Reviewing the words and ideas of a former first lady feels strange. But if there's anything we can take away from her delightful story and insights is how we're all in this together. What a lady and human being. Five stars so the way!

Good
I like the story and it has some really nice lessons that we can use in our lives. On the other hand, having read the first book, some parts felt a bit repetitive to me and also a bit political. Overall a good and light book to listen to.
