OVERCOMING

A stunningly designed workbook based on Michelle Obama's #1 New York Times bestseller The Light We Carry, featuring practical tools for navigating life's challenges and fortifying oneself in the face of uncertainty, obstacles, and self-doubt.

A stunningly designed workbook, OVERCOMING draws upon the practical life lessons and earned wisdom Mrs. Obama shared with readers in her #1 New York Times bestseller The Light We Carry, which to date has sold more than 1.85 million units across all formats in North America. Sharing Mrs. Obama's timeless and inspiring advice with readers in a fresh, interactive, and instructional new format, OVERCOMING presents creative activities, reflective writing prompts, habit-tracking tools, and more to provide the ultimate guide to unlocking your small power, sharing your whole self, showing up in relationships, "going high," and more. "I've always found that it can be useful to break down a gigantic goal or an intimidating challenge into its component parts," says Mrs. Obama. "This way, you are less likely to get overwhelmed or exhausted, or crash into feelings of futility. Learning to take smaller steps helps us understand what's actually within our control so that we can prioritize our efforts, sustain our energy, and create new possibilities for ourselves and for those around us. That's what I hope this workbook can help readers achievea sense of meaningful progress that nourishes their hope and energy." Filled with practical tools for navigating life's challenges and fortifying oneself in the face of uncertainty, obstacles, and self-doubt, OVERCOMING is Obama's call to pay attention to how you're feeling, prioritize your wellness, and make a habit of rest and repair. MICHELLE OBAMA served as First Lady of the United States from 2009 to 2017. A graduate of Princeton University and Harvard Law School, Mrs. Obama started her career as an attorney at the Chicago law firm Sidley & Austin, where she met her future husband, Barack Obama. She later worked in the Chicago mayor's office, at the University of Chicago, and at the University of Chicago Medical Center.
