Overcoming: A Workbook

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The inspirational, interactive companion to the #1 Sunday Times bestseller, The Light We Carry.

Based on Michelle Obama's bestselling and critically acclaimed book The Light We Carry, Overcoming: A Workbook offers readers a practical toolkit for navigating life's challenges, as well as imaginative prompts and activities designed to guide readers in reflective and active practices for fortifying oneself in the face of uncertainty, obstacles, and self-doubt.

Bringing former First Lady Michelle Obama's timeless advice to readers in a fresh, interactive, and instructional new format, Overcoming: A Workbook presents creative activities, reflective writing prompts, habit tracking tools, and more to provide the ultimate guide to unlocking your small power, sharing your whole self, showing up in relationships, and of course, "going high." With her signature candor and warmth, Michelle Obama draws on her experiences to offer readers the tools and principles she has leaned on to overcome difficulties in all areas of life.

This beautiful and interactive workbook is Obama's call to "pay attention to how you're feeling. Notice what's being signaled by both your body and your mind," as well as her reminder to us all that "it's okay to pace yourself, get a little rest, and speak of your struggles out loud. It's okay to prioritise your wellness, to make a habit of rest and repair."
