What I Know For Sure | Oprah Winfrey

I let all my magazine‘s subscriptions go a year into retirement because I had not fully engaged in any of them even given more time. But in all those years of subscribing I always flipped to the last page of my Oprah magazines to read what she knew for sure. …It was great to settle in, and read this pretty little book of positivity. Published in 2014 but no message feels dated.

cinda.marie I remember reading this when it came out. I loved it. 1y
marleed @cinda.marie This pretty little thing sat unread on my shelves because I thought I‘d missed the timeframe for full impact. It was such a pleasure to realize it retains all its impact. 1y
Christine I still miss the print O magazine a lot. 1y
marleed @Christine me too. I‘m tempted to subscribe again but then remind myself of my stacks of unread magazines that I finally sent to recycling so I‘d stop fretting over them. 1y
IndianBookworm I loved it when I read it. Thinking of reading it again. 🥰 1y

This 2014 book is a collection of Winfrey‘s best “O Magazine” essays from her column, ‘What I Know For Sure‘. The audio version is beautifully read by Oprah in her soothing, conversational voice. I think if you like her and you‘re open to the inspirational and spiritual (but not necessarily new or ground breaking) you‘ll enjoy this.

This book was great and inspiring. The only times I was annoyed were when Oprah talks about avoiding debt & only purchasing items that bring joy. The topics are real, but they are harder to hear coming from a billionaire.

I listened to this on Audiobook, read by Oprah. Her voice is so soothing. There were no major ‘ah-ha‘ light bulb moments but this is exactly what I needed during this time of global chaos - like listening to the encouraging words of your mama.

There were some interesting snippets into Oprah‘s life that I didn‘t know before.

I strongly recommend this book to everyone especially during times like these when all of us could use a few extra words of encouragement and inspiration. This book is filled with so many great life lessons, powerful quotes, and inspiration from Oprah herself. I now try to read this once a year as Oprah‘s words are incredibly empowering and uplifting. #Oprah #WhatIKnowForSure #Inspirational #Motivational

Another Oprah book listen! This one is just of her readings sharing her wisdom. I had heard a few things she said already in her previous books, but that is because I have read them in the wrong order! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I wasn‘t a huge Oprah fan until I saw her speak live and now I‘ve drunk the Kool-Aid. This is the first book by her that I‘ve read and I found it profoundly inspirational. I will keep it on my shelf and reference it for years to come.

What other books by or about Oprah should I read?

{Don‘t hold it too tightly. Wish for it and let it go, trust that the universe knows and the magical force will do what it needs, if it belongs to you.} - listened to the beautiful GP and enigmatic, awe-inspiring Oprah talk about spirituality, women, #metoo, and her book list - this afternoon and it was the perfect Sundae-ish mood booster!

Two of my favorite quotes from this book: The purpose of being alive is to become the person you are intended to be, to grow out of and into yourself, again and again

A miracle is seeing the world with light in your eyes. It is knowing there is always hope and possibilities when one seems to exist.

Confession time: I ❤️Oprah. I've had a subscription to O Magazine for years. I miss her talk show. And I am totally tuning in to her interview with FLOTUS tonight.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.

You became what you believe. You are where you are today in your life based on everything you have belived.

What I know is, is that if you do work that you love, and the work fulfills you, the rest will come.
