Publisher's Summary

Candid, moving, exhilarating, uplifting, frequently humorous, and passionately read by the author, the words Oprah shares in What I Know For Sure shimmer with the sort of truth that listeners will revisit again and again.

As a creative force, student of the human heart and soul, and champion of living the life you want, Oprah Winfrey stands alone. Over the years, she has made history with a legendary talk show (the highest-rated program of its kind), launched her own television network, become the USA's only African-American billionaire, and been awarded both an honorary degree by Harvard University and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. From all her experiences, she has gleaned life lessons – which, for fourteen years, she's shared in O, The Oprah Magazine's widely popular 'What I Know For Sure' column, a monthly source of inspiration and revelation.

Now, for the first time, these thoughtful gems have been revised, updated, and collected in What I Know For Sure, a beautiful audiobook, packed with insight and revelation from Oprah Winfrey. Passionately read by the author and organized by theme – joy, resilience, connection, gratitude, possibility, awe, clarity, and power – these essays offer a rare, powerful and intimate glimpse into the heart and mind of one of the world's most extraordinary women, while providing listeners a guide to becoming their best selves.

Fantastic!

A great book!! Captivated me right through! Interesting, funny, sad, relatable (apart from the private jets) and the sound of her voice throughout was like a warm cosy hug! Grab a cuppa tea, get comfy and enjoy 😊

Brilliant

I loved the insightful nature of this book form A-Z . I will be revisiting this book often. I love the fact that Oprah was narrating the book as it added that extra visual element. It felt like we were having a conversation. I just wish it was longer.

One of the best books I have ever listened to

I have read and listened to hundreds of books, many of which I have absolutely loved and raved about to others. This however is the first book I have ever reviewed. It was profound and honest, and beautifully read by Oprah. It completely exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend listening.

My new favourite book of all time

This book is on my nightstand now, on my Kindle and on Audio! I listen to chapter 11 almost daily. You can pick it up at any page and get value from it. Love this book.
