Her Best Book Yet
This might seem like overkill. But my silly olâ gut wants to say something silly, and honestly youâll see thereâs no harm. Here it goes: She writes with the knowledge of a therapist, the thoughtfulness of a philosopher, the empathy of a longtime trusted bestie, and the wisdom of a sage shaman who has lived many lives. A dorky, weird review already, I know.I try to read two books a month, on average. And this might be the most impactful book out of the nonfiction and memoir type books Iâve read in years. Iâve read some classics, some fantastic books that brought me to tears, books that I couldnât put down for 24 hours straight âtil it was done (it was a long book, okay!). But this book is of a different breed. Reflective and utterly insightful, I felt like the aches of my mind and heart were being gently read, understood, and nursed â all my best qualities and values reinvigorated and reinforced.She talked about experiences Iâve been through with so much wisdom, clarity, and articulation. Sometimes it felt like she was passing on time-tested truths so I didnât have to reinvent the wheel and struggle so hard finding the equilibrium sheâs had practice balancing for years.What she had to say about operating in the margins when being confined to the margins themselves is a provocative was so reassuring, intelligent, interesting, and helpful. I am a white girl, but I have a history of severe prolonged trauma and abuse. I didnât have the parenting Michelle had, nor did I face racism, though I was raised around racists. I wasnât met with gladness growing up, except for a couple times growing up by someone who soon after died. But somehow some of our experiences are not oh, so different. Somehow she saw me through the pages. And empowered me to give myself what I couldnât get growing up, at school as the only girl in a class of male physicists, in the workplace, or when I dealt with police trying to get justice that never came.Of course, I donât accept advice uncritically or unchallenged â so let me assure you that this book is well-explained, well-thought out, and sound.Michelle since I was little (born in 2001, here) has appeared to me as a sort of supplement parent, seeing as mine were extremely deficient. Iâd watch her and Barackâs speeches on the TV at home and feel attuned to somehow. Then my dad would regurgitate all the conspiracies about them â among other things.But Michelleâs light outshines these naysayers â even the oneâs who were closest to me, the loudest, and the most dangerous to my safety. She speaks clearly about work ethic, integrity, empathy, reason, and courage. They all matter, and she has them all in droves. She is one classy, beautiful, kind lady. Her lil overachieving self exceeded the standard, setting a new record for all of us to admire and aspire to.

A great read.
I’m into about 50 pages, where Michelle talks about how she coped during Covid and dealing with Donald Trump. She is thoughtful and insightful.Have read her sections on Covid and dealing with Donald Trump. She is insightful and thoughtful. Great so far!!!

Full of tips and tools from Michelle Obama’s life journey
Michelle Obama has traveled far and learned much, and she is generous to share her thoughts with us. She says right in the beginning that there’s no magic formula for dealing with the constant change and endless anxiety of life. What she does offer is a glimpse into her personal toolbox, with some anecdotes about how she gained and uses the particular tools.I found myself laughing and nodding as I read her personal accounts (marriage is hard, she says, and sometimes you want to push your mate “out a window.” Which gave me a cartoon image of her pushing Barack…how unlikely! And yet, human.) I highlighted dozens of passages.I also appreciated that she gave us more of a glimpse of her emotional landscape than in Becoming, her first book. Still, this book was somewhat guarded, as was that one. You do get a sense of the deeper emotions around her life and world, and I think that’s because she’s the first and only, and she bears that weight carefully. Also, you can only wonder what kind of cruelty she’s endured to make her words so cautious.So that’s my one criticism: it’s a dense read. I found myself missing some points if I was tired or not paying close attention. However, if I DID pay attention, I got such gems as these:”I wonder if it’s time to stop asking, ‘When will this end?’ and instead start considering a different, more practical set of questions about staying upright inside of challenge and change: How do we adapt? How do we get more comfortable, less paralyzed, inside of uncertainty?”Who doesn’t want to know that? She also learned so much from her good, strong parents who gave her life tools. Here’s something she says about her father, who struggled with multiple sclerosis:”With his centeredness, my dad was able to look past whatever mirror the world might have held up to him, all the ways a blue-collar Black man walking on crutches might otherwise be made to feel worthless or invisible. He didn’t focus on who he wasn’t, or what he didn’t have. Instead, he measured his value by who he was and what he had–love, community, food in the fridge, two tall and noisy kids, and friends knocking on his door. He saw these things as success and as reason to keep going. It was evidence he mattered.”One of the main lessons / reminders I got from the book was to invest in my relationships; to maintain friendships, because if anything is the magic in life, that is. Also, to respect the person I am at my core, while letting the doubting side of my personality coexist with my healthy side. The Doubter is there to keep me anxious and I can’t get rid of her so might as well let her be. Even in the face of global horror or meanness closer to home, I will do the best I can and find comfort in knowing my own self-worth.Bottom line, this book is a worthwhile read, full of good strategies for staying whole in the face of modern weirdness, but it’s not a beach read!

Inspiring Words from a Remarkable Woman
After reading Becoming, I knew I wanted to hear more of what was on Michelle Obama’s mind, how she processes her thoughts about important issues, and how she maintains that balance that’s so comforting. The Light We Carry does not disappoint. Reading this book is like having an intimate chat with the author. She seems to instinctively know our questions and concerns about work, family, and community. She never pretends to have all the answers, but she nudges us to ask ourselves the right questions.

Great Read
Michelle will always be my First Lady. Loved this book, very well written and thought provoking. Helps you to look at things from another point of view, come out of the darkness and into the light. Looking forward to more life lessons from. Mrs. Obama

I enjoyed this book immensely
Great book – I bought a copy for my daughter and a second copy for me to mark up and circle and annotate.But itâs like Turkish Delights – not everyone is going to like it and itâs so sweet, itâs best consumed in small portions.

It helped a,lot. Thank you, Michelle Obama
