#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER • In an inspiring follow-up to her acclaimed memoir Becoming, former First Lady Michelle Obama shares practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopeful and balanced in today’s highly uncertain world.
There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?
Michelle Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including 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. Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles—the earned wisdom that helps her continue to “become.” She details her most valuable practices, like “starting kind,” “going high,” and assembling a “kitchen table” of trusted friends and mentors. With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness.
“When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it,” writes Michelle Obama. A rewarding blend of powerful stories and profound advice that will ignite conversation, The Light We Carry inspires readers to examine their own lives, identify their sources of gladness, and connect meaningfully in a turbulent world.

I liked Becoming so much I just had to read this one. It’s like an enlightened pep talk peppered with axioms and personal anecdotes from a formidable mind exquisitely written. Becoming was better, IMO, but this was well worth the time spent at bedtime.
That said, I don’t think she should write any more of these First Lady memoirs. She’s pretty well exhausted that reserve for my money. I wonder if she can write fiction. Maybe her heart lies more with practical guides or history. In any case, a clear, impactful writer she is. I look forward to her next efforts whatever they may be.

I read her first book, Becoming and I loved it and as soon as I could ordered the new one, The light we carry, I ordered it and I loved this one as much as the first one. It’s inspiring and allowed me to know a little more about life and work of an president and first lady. But above all, I loved it, how honest she wrote about the marriage and relationship. It helped a,lot. Thank you, Michelle Obama

Highly inspirational and very well written. Michelle Obama is extremely intelligent, highly educated and well-traveled. Her observations are spot-on, and her messages of hope and encouragement are exactly what we need to hear in today’s turbulent world. Buy the book, read the book and improve your outlook on life, you won’t be disappointed.

Inspiring motivating and truthful. Thank you for your words, Madame First Lady Michelle. I’m praying the lunacy vieing for reelection will end in November 2024, and potential nightmare will end.

Extremely well written and from the heart., the First Lady makes an enormous number of very important points and leaves one with the concept of creating our own reality from what lies in front of us in a rapidly changing world. Worth your time to read.

I think Michelle Obama is an incredible, bright, humble, and warm person. Reading her books feels like hanging out with her and she is so cool that i do wish we could hang out and be friends. I love Becoming. It was full of inside dish, good insights into relationships and parenting. Obama uses the same candid, conversational voice in this book and imparts some really terrific nuggets about so many aspects life. There is something in this book for young people just starting out, middle aged parents and also career insights. Sometimes it meandered and I’m not sure there was a real thesis to the book. It’s purely enjoyable from start to finish but don’t think it’s as tight and powerful as Becoming. She didn’t use all her best stories in the first book- there are some good ones here- but it did feel a bit like “why not write another book since the first was so successful.” I am so in awe of her i would still read another book. The more i know about her, the more impressed i am.

Her determination and hard work to get where she has become a leading woman in our country is impressive and exhilarating. She offers valid suggestions for making a good life for herself and her family as well as other people. I have learned a lot by reading this book.
