She evokes her impoverished childhood in the Deep South, her heralded rise as America's most successful talk show host, her experience as a movie actress and Academy Award nominee, and her life as a single, enormously wealthy black woman in a white, male-dominated world. She talks, too, in her always candid and intimate way, about her passions, her hurts, and her ambitions. She describes the affairs with men that left her weeping and the joy she has found in her love for Stedman Graham. And she talks about the travail she suffered fighting her weight problems and her triumph in overcoming them. Filled with hundreds of quotations, The Uncommon Wisdom of Oprah Winfrey plumbs such sensitive subjects as the abuse she suffered from relatives when she was a child, her experimentation with drugs, her feelings about the enormous success of her show, how she relates to her family, and the causes and charities that drive her.

Oprah opens each chapter by sharing her own key lessons and the personal stories that helped set the course for her best life. She then brings together wisdom and insights from luminaries in a wide array of fields, inspiring readers to consider what they’re meant to do in the world and how to pursue it with passion and focus.

"O que eu sei de verdade é: sua jornada começa com a decisão de se levantar, sair e viver plenamente." – Oprah Winfrey Entre os talentos de Oprah Winfrey está sua capacidade de compreender a natureza humana como poucos e, ao mesmo tempo, colocar essa sabedoria em palavras. Desde que foi questionada sobre as coisas de que tinha certeza na vida, ela passou a escrever uma coluna mensal em sua revista com reflexões sobre relacionamentos amorosos, família, autoestima, medos, fracassos e superação. Nesse livro, você irá encontrar uma seleção, feita pela própria autora, das melhores crônicas lançadas ao longo dos 14 anos de existência da coluna. Em textos curtos, Oprah oferece mensagens profundas que vão ajudá-lo a fazer as pazes com seu corpo, a construir relacionamentos mais harmoniosos e a mudar sua maneira de encarar os problemas. Ao fim da leitura, você se sentirá inspirado a se tornar uma pessoa melhor e extrair o máximo do que a vida tem a oferecer.

Neste best-seller do New York Times, Oprah Winfrey se junta a professor de Harvard para oferecer ao leitor uma estratégia científica e objetiva na busca da felicidade Você pode ser mais feliz. É fácil acreditar nisso quando as coisas vão bem, mas, à medida que nossos problemas se acumulam e se tornam mais complexos, certos obstáculos podem fazer com que a felicidade pareça um objetivo impossível. Em tempos assim, tudo o que resta é esperar e torcer para que as coisas melhorem, certo? Errado. Em Construa a vida que você quer, Arthur C. Brooks, o renomado professor de Harvard, e Oprah Winfrey, uma das maiores comunicadoras do mundo, convidam o leitor a dar os primeiros passos rumo a uma felicidade maior, mais sólida e que independe de circunstâncias positivas ou negativas. Baseando-se em dados científicos e em décadas de observação do conceito de “felicidade” por inúmeros ângulos, Arthur e Oprah mostram que ter uma vida mais feliz é um movimento de dentro para fora, capaz de cessar o desejo — e a esperança vã — de que o mundo mude a nosso favor. Com perspicácia, compaixão e esperança, os autores compartilham ferramentas de autogestão emocional e recomendam práticas embasadas em pesquisas para gerenciar os quatro pilares da felicidade: família, amizade, trabalho e fé. Seus ensinamentos são exemplificados com relatos de suas próprias vidas e carreiras, mas também com o testemunho de pessoas — nem tão — comuns: gente que aprendeu a ser feliz mesmo em face das maiores dificuldades.

 „Ezen új információk ismeretében helyreállíthatjuk az önértékelésünket, és megváltoztathatjuk a körülményekre, a különböző helyzetekre és kapcsolatokra adott reakcióinkat. Azaz, más szavakkal, mindez az életünk újjáépítésének kulcsa.” Oprah Winfrey Az életünk korai szakaszában átélt tapasztalataink hosszú távú hatással vannak az életünkre – a Mi történt veled? tudományos és lelki szempontból is alaposan körbejárja azon viselkedési mintákat, amelyeket sokan oly nehezen tudunk értelmezni. E KÖNYV ELOLVASÁSA UTÁN MÁSKÉPP LÁTJUK MAJD AZ ÉLETÜNKET. Feltettük-e már önmagunknak valaha azt a kérdést, hogy „Ezt most miért csináltam?”, illetve „Miért nem vagyok képes irányítani a saját viselkedésemet?”? Reakcióinkat látva a környezetünk elítélhet minket, és azt gondolhatja, „Mi a baj ezzel az emberrel?”. Saját érzéseinket megkérdőjelezve könnyen előfordulhat, hogy magunkat hibáztatjuk mindenért, ezzel teljesíthetetlen elvárások elé állítva mind magunkat, mind pedig másokat. Itt az ideje, hogy egészen másképp tegyük fel a kérdést. Mély és személyes beszélgetéseik során Oprah Winfrey, illetve a neves pszichiáter, dr. Bruce Perry, az agy és a trauma szakértője úttörő jelentőségű és nagy erejű változásra hív, amely mindössze azzal az egyszerű gondolati átkapcsolással megvalósítható, ha a „Mi a baj veled?” helyett ezt a kérdést tesszük fel: „Mi történt veled?” Oprah saját múltbéli történeteire és tapasztalataira támaszkodva elénk tárja, milyen sebezhetővé válhatunk a fiatalkorban átélt traumák és ártalmak hatására. A könyvön végigvonuló beszélgetésük során Oprah és dr. Perry az emberek, a különböző viselkedési formák és önmagunk megértésének témájára helyezi a hangsúlyt. Az általuk képviselt látásmód finom, ám nagy erejű változást jelent a trauma korábbi megközelítéséhez képest, és lehetővé teszi számunkra, hogy megértsük a múltunkat, és ezzel új ösvényt vágjunk a jövőnk felé – illetve hatékony módszerek segítségével utat nyissunk az ellenálló képességnek és a gyógyulásnak.

Of all the events in Oprah Winfrey's life, none has affected her powerfully as playing the part of Sethe, the former slave who must come to terms with a haunting past, in Jonathan Demme's film of Toni Morrison's Pulizer Prize-winning novel - coming from Touchstone Pictures in Fall 1998. Oprah fell in love with the book when it was first published in 1988, and instantly became determined to deliver this powerful story to film herself. But making the movie was something even more profound than she might have imagined, and JOURNEY TO THE BELOVED is her own emotional account of that experience. With Oprah's heartfelt words and the evocative images of Ken Regan, JOURNEY TO THE BELOVED is an elegant book that will interest fans of Oprah, of Toni Morrison, and of fine filmmaking. Accompanying Oprah's personal journals and thoughts about the Beloved experience is a foreword by Jonathan Demme and a chorus of voices, from Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise, and Beah Richards. The result is a tribute to a courageous work of art, expressed as only Oprah can express it.
