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.

Annoying and smug
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
If it had been written and read by someone with a bit of humility in stead of miss " I like to meditate in my beach house in Hawaii " . Wouldn't we all miss Winfrey
What was most disappointing about Oprah Winfrey’s story?
That she appears to think she is a chosen one. And God has choose her to lecture us mere mortals . At one point her partner tells her " don't worry God has brought you this far, he won't leave you" to assure her she won't die in a plane crash. Are we to assume that other people who die in a plane crash or otherwise have been "left" by God while he attends to more important people?
What three words best describe Oprah Winfrey’s voice?
Smug smug smug
Any additional comments?
I think this book is aimed at and for Americans . I don't think Scots appreciate or understand the idolisation of this author

I'm not so sure
The premise for the book is a good one and there is no doubt that Oprah's voice and writing style are inimitable and enjoyable to listen to. I'm just not entirely sure how well this translates. Oprah has clearly worked hard for her success and there is certainly much that she says for sure that rings true. However I personally felt that Oprah's considerable wealth and power undermines the sentiment of the book. Her life of privilege seems a million miles from someone like me. The jury is out.

what I know for sure
Well I know for sure that Oprah sure knows a thing or two about being true to who you are and walking in your complete self. Worth a read and a good standby in your book collection. Listen on audio, even better.

Life Changing and Life Affirming
Any additional comments?
This book is nothing short of brilliant. I have never really followed Oprah nor read her magazine "O" - but this book, made up of 14 years worth of her column from her magazine has opened my mind to looking more into what Oprah has to offer. I will listen to this book over and over again. It is excellently narrated by Oprah herself. I have also ordered the book in hard copy for five of my friends. Highly recommended.
