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

emotional hopeful inspiring fast-paced

4.5

Michelle Obama does so many things right and book writing is definitely one of them ✨ She manages to keep her inspiring and upbeat energy that was very present in her previous book Becoming, but didn’t repeat all of the same things (and made very thoughtful references back to it which was refreshing) 😊 These were two of the most striking quotes for me:

‘My mom says that you should grant kids their trust rather than making them earn it.’

‘What we choose to share in professional settings, what we show of ourselves and when, is not only personal but also inherently complicated – an often delicate matter of timing, circumstance, and careful judgement.’

I would definitely say to read Becoming first, but to get this for sure if you’re a fan of the former FLOTUS 🥰 The light we carry, eh ✨
