This is a beautiful, rather small book that comes across as a bit of a coffee table book. The photography is beautiful, but the content is rather useless. Oprah includes little snippets of conversations that she has had with mostly what I would call her 'old crowd' meaning mostly people she used to have on her daytime talk show before OWN (which I have never seen). Topics are good, but there is little meat to them.
A beautiful book to listen to during these troubling times - I say LISTEN to as I purchased this on audiobook and it's more powerful that way. If you get the audiobook, you hear the actual conversations Oprah had with each guest, whereas the print book I imagine would be reading transcripts. One great quote in particular, 'Do not ask what you want to DO with your life, ask what you want to BE with your life'.
“What do you think is our world’s biggest wound?Our inability to realise that we’re the same.”✨This book is a GEM. REALLY. I SWEAR✨Every single line is so relatable and quotable. I dare say that this book is profound and such a life changing book. This book is one of the books that I can always go back to when I find life seems hard/stuck. This book taught me about the significance of the present moment. We often dwell in the past, worrying and being anxious about the uncertainties of the future...
An Oprah production so it is a worthwhile listen 👍🏽
A wonderful soul-searching book. Insights taken from her television series "Super Soul Sunday" Each one is a gem in itself. Very thought provoking.Everyone should read.
Essentially this book is a series of conversations, on wisdom that Oprah has had with some of those leaders in “great thought.” Some of these were guests of her Super Soul Sunday show, guests whom she knew had been on their own spiritual journey and, as she says, their “wise words have led me to knowing for sure that we are all spiritual beings having a human experience.”I listened to the audio, and it was very different from what I had expected once this began. I loved getting a different view
Want wisdom? Go to the wise. That's what Oprah does. She's a master at asking questions and listening deeply. When you talk to the wise, that's all you have to do...ask questions and sit back and listen. I couldn't wait to get into the car each day for my ten-minute drive to work so I could listen to these amazing conversations. I want more Super Soul conversations.
I will admit that I skimmed the majority of this book, mainly cause of how repetitive it became. However I did like the interviews with famous actors on inspiring beliefs about life, love, spirituality and things of this nature. I REALLY loved the last chapter when Oprah asked celebrities to define what is the difference between Religion and Spirituality. While I enjoyed what everyone had to say Iyanla VanZant definition affirmed why I love her so much. "Religion is the rules, regulation ceremon...
Beautiful and very inspirational. Just the book the soul needs especially when you are feeling lost and need some clarity to go forward. Will definitely be referencing this book anytime I need to take a breath and focus. Oprah never disappoints.
The book itself is beautiful and the content is good--but I would recommend listening or watching the actual interviews as the wisdom is much more powerful when it's spoken and when it's in context of a conversation. This book is merely excerpts from many of those interviews.
Oprah Winfrey's latest book is a book to be read and re-read often. The book is sectioned into 10 chapter groups - Awakening, Intention, Mindfulness, Spiritual GPS, Ego, Forgiveness, Broken Open, Grace and Gratitude, Love and Connection. The order is quite telling; notice that "Ego" is right in the middle, followed by forgiveness. If we envision these topics as a bell curve, it's an uphill battle to learn to deal with the Ego, after learning it, things get gradually easier.At the end of her book...
I just got this book yesterday so I am just a few pages in and I got to say, it is AMAZING! The book itself is BEAUTIFUL. Like the old school books with the fabric type of cover. It is perfect for coffee tables. The pages inside are BEAUTIFUL as well - beautiful pictures on most pages and there are quotes and then there are stories. If you like Super Soul Sunday, you will definitely love this book. If you love quotes, you will love this book. If you are spiritual, you will love this book. If you...
Great segments as quoted from the mouths of some of Oprah's most revered authors, world leaders, friends, teachers, actors, etc.Example of chapter titles ( in no particular order) Ego, Mindfulness, Spiritual GPS, Forgiveness, Grace and Gratitude, etc..Inspiring and a book I will turn to often for inspiration from some of the finest minds of our generation.
I was given this book by a very dear friend. Every Sunday I would sit with my coffee and read a page or to, savoring the words of wisdom. I would reread passages that resonated with me. Some applied, some did not, but they always made me think and reflect. I will pay it forward and pass along this book to others.
First off a big thank you to Goodreads & Flatiron Books for allowing me to be chosen for this giveaway!! This is a beautiful book !! It would also be the perfect coffee table conversation piece as well. I really enjoyed paging through and reading all the essays of my favorite authors, celebrities & spiritual mentors.Highly recommend reading !!5 Stars !!
The body can be ‘rented out’ but not the soul. We are part of the Great Soul and we are all close to one another. We came from one place and if we look closely, we are not so very different, and in the end we shall all return whence we came. So the greatest wisdom of this book is to convey to all of us that we're not so very different... The main problem is just to see the bigger picture: we all form a huge circle, everyone is so familiar, and silent, and listening and above us is a great, might...
I won this Free book from Goodreads First reads.Many people helped put this book together. they shared their knowledge and feelings on the written page.Topics were Awakening, Intentions, ego, Forgiveness,Broken Open, Grace and Gratitude, Fulfillment, Love and Connection.This is a book the reader can refer to many times.
3 to 3.5 starsA quick and enjoyable read, but not as substantial and resonant as I'd hoped. (Lots of thoughts on why this might be; one thing may be the format—they're mostly quite short interview bits and pieces.)
A beautiful book that explores topics including mindfulness, forgiveness, and fulfillment. Really enjoyed the wide variety of insights from all different types of authors, doctors, religious leaders, and world leaders. Fascinating stuff!
not really my cup of tea
