Super Soul Sunday mash up with a meandering path.This is essentially a collection of quotes that while sometimes poignant and even thought provoking, also felt disjointed. Oprah bookends with an introduction and epilogue and introduces each of the 10 chapters, but what follows are excerpts from interviews with her famous guests and their personal philosophies that never quite build to a greater vision. The promise of a framework for a life of significance or a clear path never materialized for t...

While I love me some Oprah, this book was average in that the messages between each piece were so different that I felt I was jumping from conversation to conversation with no common thread. Oprah has different sections and themes within the chapters, and I LOVED hearing her own words and her intro to each chapter, but I felt as if I was thrown into the middle of a conversation for each piece, but given no context about the before or after of the piece I was reading. I believe Oprah may have tak...

I have always liked Oprah. I did think about buying this book but my daughter in law had a copy and I borrowed it off her. These self help / self encouragement books I do find interesting and you just take what you need from them and discard the rest. This book as lots of different people in it and what they have learnt along the way and at the back of the book is a blurb of each person. This is a pretty book and one that you could dip in and out of, I won't buy my own copy. I filled up a couple...

Sigh!! I needed this, it was a breath of fresh air!!! “An aha moment!”

I really liked this book but at the same time, I don't want people going into this with overly high expectations because it's Oprah. It's a beautiful coffee table book filled with stunning landscape photographs, inspirational quotations, and small stories from well-known people. Aside from that, it's nothing really more than can be expected. There doesn't actually seem to be a lot written by Oprah aside from a blurb at the beginning of each section. However, the content is a compilation of quota...

Sometimes the right book comes along at JUST the right time and it makes a really good book even better. With a lot of uncertainty and decisions with my current job, this was the perfect avenue to remember that though we don't always have complete control over our destiny, we do have the tools to guide it and make the decisions for our best path and purpose. Nothing in the book is "rocket science" - we all know what we need to do in order to live more meaningful lives. But the way this book is p...

"One of the reasons I have enjoyed financial success is because my focus has never been on money." (Oprah Winfrey, The Path Made Clear)I listened to the audio version of this book because I wanted to hear the Author, Oprah Winfrey, express her book with her own voice. She starts off every chapter with her own thoughts on the different chapters, then shares interviews with others that she has previously interviewed that relate to that specific topic. If you get the audio version, it is actually h...

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

Public opinion about Oprah Winfrey seems to be all over the place these days, but if you have ever enjoyed her once popular talk show, this book will be a pretty safe read. Full of inspiration and nostalgia, Winfrey showcases multiple stories and pieces of advice from a variety of popular figures that all explore the topic of “discovering your life's direction and purpose.” There's no politics or personal opinions/judgments. No controversy. There's just life lessons and insights. She dedicates h...

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 Winfrey, The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life's Direction and Purpose. .One of “My Most Anticipated Books of Spring 2019,” “The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life's Direction and Purpose” by Oprah Winfrey. This book wasn’t exactly what I was expecting, but it’s exactly what you’d expect from Oprah. Let me talk about the layout first before I

This book just seemed like a big name drop to me. It really didn't have any interesting content and the description is a bit misleading. It basically just says it is very important to find your true purpose in life and to do what you love. It then has a whole bunch of quick one paragraph quotes from famous people saying things like they always new what they wanted to do and they new right away when they found what was right for them. No real guide or framework or tips. Very surface level. I don'...

I started doing yoga about a year and a half ago. My favorite class is on Monday mornings with A. At the end of class, she opens up a notebook. The notebook’s pages are tattered, which is the only possibility for a notebook owned by a yoga teacher who wears what I think are floral leggings but might be leggings with cats and spaceships on them. I would know what kind of leggings she wears if I wore my glasses to a yoga class that controversially starts at 6:45 a.m. instead of 6:30 a.m., when it

The Path Made Clear: Discovering Your Life’s Direction and PurposeI think this might be one book that needs to be hardcopy, and in hand, because evidently there are beautiful pictures included, to truly appreciate all of it. I listened to an audiobook thru Libby (yay! Libby!), and it was a quick listen – like listening to inspiration, spiritual books – such as scripture where every word is as light as feathers and you need to sort them into various bouquets, in various colors, in order see full

First of all, the mere cover presentation of this book draws you into discovering its contents. The cover has a tranquil organic, scrapbook kind of feels that impresses the senses.The compilation of personal discoveries Oprah Winfrey shares, along with other noteworthy narratives by her well-known contributors are encouraging and motivating. These messages encourage you to stop, pay attention to your life's journey, and to make the types of choices that will inspire you to discover your life's d...

I didn’t finish it. The book was filled with random pieces of advice - some good, some filled with flighty words mixed together that didn’t really make sense. As with many false teachers, there is some truth to what is said. I enjoyed some of it and didn’t like a lot of it. Sorta my feeling on Oprah’s advice, in general.

If you liked the previous book, “The Wisdom of Sundays”, then you will like this also. More inspiring quotes—although some of the people featured are not exactly my idea of sages.

A must read for everyone.

RATING: 3 STARS(Review Not on Blog)This was hard to rate as it is pretty and has great quotes from famous people, but there isn't much in there for the cost of the book. I would definitely recommend checking it out from the library first to see if this is the book is right for you.

Oprah is seeking the meaning of life just like the rest of us! She surrounds herself with amazing creatives who have so much knowledge to share about fulfillment, happiness, growth, and life lessons. I listened to the audio which was great because many of the people were interviewed by Oprah and you could listen to their voices. My few notes:*When you know, teach, when you get, give. Maya Angelou*If you don't transform suffering you will transmit suffering.*Fail up, reach for a better self*Recog...

Yes it's full of great insights but because it's just a book of quotes it's hard to really apply anything. It's as if you were in a writing class and the teacher stands up and says, this is a book it's it pretty? the summary is nice too. Now you go and write yourself one. You miss the exercises and the practical information to guide you. Yes to write you just need pen and paper and to just put down words but it would be a near impossibility to create something readable without the first notion o...
