Customer Reviews

Excellent, inspiring, great to read with friends!

A friend gave me this book and I loved it. Michelle feels so authentic and true to herself. She brings her wisdom to all of us so that all of us can be uplifted and live a better life - individually and together.

A Positive Perspective in these Negative Times

I love this book. Michelle Obama provides wonderful advice based on her own experiences; including her fears. I found it lifted me up during these very difficult times. I highly recommend it for all; even Republicans. It is about all of us and the human experience.

Warm advice for growing up

This book is not groundbreaking, but it has all the warmth and good feeling of a series of lunches with a good friend. I had the feeling throughout that she was imparting the advice she hoped her daughters and other young people might need to know. While I am Ms. Obama’s age, I still appreciate her insightful and optimistic voice.
