The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times by Michelle Obama

4.5

The Light We Carry karya Michelle Obama, udah masuk reading listku sedari buku ini diterbitkan (15 Nov 2022) dan emg sepengen itu punya buku fisiknya. 

dalam buku The Light We Carry, Mrs Obama menawarkan kepada pembaca cerita segar dan refleksi mendalam ttg perubahan, tantangan, dan kekuatan, and also her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress. 

menurutku, buku ini masih berkaitan dgn buku Mrs Obama sebelumnya, Becoming. Mrs Obama ‘berperan’ sbg mentor dgn menyelipkan momen-momen penting dlm hidupnya utk didemonstrasikan dalam buku ini. Mrs Obama offers advice on building self-confidence, calming anxiety and parenting. but it’s grounded in reality. it’s not groundbreaking stuff; nor is her advice to leave your comfort zone, or to be kind to yourself and others, or to make time for friends. but it is all delivered in her trademark tone, unintimidating yet inspiring. she readily admits that she doesn’t have all the answers to life’s problems. but there is plenty of wisdom in this book to help the rest of us.

for me, The Light We Carry feels like a hug  and a good friend.
