Love Oprah! This book is easy to read and full of simple concepts that made me stop and think. I listened to the audio version and loved it because the interviews by each person made it more interesting. Definitely worth the read!!!!

I think this book would be better as a hard copy, but the audio and kindle versions are okay. It’s basically a 2 hour summary of her top supersoul moments.

There is no greater gift you can give or receive than to honor your calling. It’s why you were born. And how you become most truly alive. —Oprah

I re-read Oprah Winfrey's What I Know For Sure every single year because it is packed with insights and the perfect way to get motivated if you are feeling lost. I decided to give The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life's Direction and Purpose because I was hoping it would give insights based on the title. It fell short based on the title but it is still packed with a lot of inspiring and life stories by influential and motivating persons.

I did enjoy this read and I think it is a book I will re-read in the future.

I listened to this on audio. While searching for a new audio book this one just called out to me. I'm glad I picked it up. It's very short but not only does Oprah Winfrey narrate the book but she also interviews many celebrities so you get to hear many different people talk. This book has a positive message and I think can be listened to many times. Best audio book I have listened to in a long time.

Interesting audio since you hear Oprah herself and those she interviewed. I didn't learn anything profound, but I got some confirmation of things I have learned in my life and it was interesting to get some background info on what motivates, inspires, scares, etc. the celebrities interviewed (incl. Joe Biden, Joel Osteen, Ellen DeGeneres, India Arie, etc.)

I got the kindle version of this from the library but I really think it's an excellent option for a 'desk book' - a little book filled with affirmations about how you can always be a human on the path to bettering yourself and fulfilling your own dreams. The chapters start out with a little letter from Oprah explaining the chapter's topic, then there are excerpts from interviews or quotes from famous pastors, authors, artists, actors, and philanthropists on the same topic. The photography that is included in the book is fabulous, and I'm putting this book on my wishlist to put on my own desk to flip through at times of need - to feel really connected to the human condition. It's a great gift for people in transition - graduation, marriages, the growth of a family - or really at any time!
