“The Light We Carry” is Obama’s second New York Times bestseller. Her 2018 memoir, “Becoming,” also scored critical acclaim and sold millions of copies worldwide. In “The Light We Carry,” Obama opens up her “personal toolbox.”
“This book is meant to show you what I keep there and why, what I use professionally and personally to help me stay balanced and confident, what keeps me moving forward even during times of high anxiety and stress,” Obama explains in the introduction.
Since its release in November 2022, Obama has spun the book into an Audible podcast. “Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast,” which was recorded on her book tour, featured guests like Gayle King and David Letterman.
Obama also collaborated on a Netflix special with Oprah Winfrey. “The Light We Carry: Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey,” which debuts Tuesday, was also filmed during Obama’s book tour. “That will be televised, because when you’re with Oprah, you just televise it,” she told Fallon.
