New Releases by Michelle Obama

Beautifully illustrated with more than 200 photographs, including never-before-seen images, The Look is a stunning journey through Michelle Obama’s style evolution, in her own words for the first time. In this celebration of style, from the moment she entered the public eye during her husband’s U.S. Senate campaign through her time as the first Black First Lady and today as one of this country’s most influential figures, Michelle Obama shares how she uses the beauty and intrigue of fashion to draw attention to her message. Featuring the voices of Meredith Koop, Obama’s trusted stylist, as well as her makeup artist Carl Ray, hairstylists Yene Damtew, Johnny Wright, and Njeri Radway, and many of the designers who have dressed Obama for notable events, The Look brings readers behind the scenes not only to reveal how her most memorable looks came together but also to tell a powerful story about how we present ourselves. Obama’s intimate and candid stories illuminate how her approach to dressing has evolved throughout her life—from the colorful sheath dresses, cardigans, and brooches she wore during her time as First Lady to the bold suits, denim, and braids of her post-White House life and all the active looks and beautiful gowns in between. In The Look, Michelle Obama explores the joy and the purpose of fashion and beauty and how—when wielded with grace and care—they can uplift and affirm the values one holds most dear. Confidence, she concludes, cannot be put on. But when you’re wearing something that’s intentional or beloved, clothing can make you feel like the best version of yourself.

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 prioritize your wellness, to make a habit of rest and repair.

#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER • In an inspiring follow-up to her acclaimed memoir Becoming, former First Lady Michelle Obama shares practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopeful and balanced in today’s highly uncertain world. There may be no tidy solutions or pithy answers to life’s big challenges, but Michelle Obama believes that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us better navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry, she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers, considering the questions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relationships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much? Michelle Obama offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on change, challenge, and power, including her belief that when we light up for others, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world around us, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress. Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successfully adapt to change and overcome various obstacles—the earned wisdom that helps her continue to “become.” She details her most valuable practices, like “starting kind,” “going high,” and assembling a “kitchen table” of trusted friends and mentors. With trademark humor, candor, and compassion, she also explores issues connected to race, gender, and visibility, encouraging readers to work through fear, find strength in community, and live with boldness. “When we are able to recognize our own light, we become empowered to use it,” writes Michelle Obama. A rewarding blend of powerful stories and profound advice that will ignite conversation, The Light We Carry inspires readers to examine their own lives, identify their sources of gladness, and connect meaningfully in a turbulent world.

”Michelle Obama är en skicklig berättare... en tänkvärd och lyhörd bok.” BTJ ”Författarinnan är en läromästare i eftertankens konst och i denna konstart är hon charmerande och tilldragande.” Fagersta-Posten I den inspirerande uppföljaren till hennes kritikerrosade memoarer ”Min historia” delar den tidigare presidenthustrun Michelle Obama med sig av praktiska råd och strategier för att känna hopp och lugn i en alltmer osäker värld. Det finns inga snabba lösningar eller enkla svar till livets problem, men Michelle Obama tror att vi alla kan hitta verktygen för att bättre kunna navigera genom förändring och osäkerhet. I ”Ljuset vi bär” startar hon en ärlig och rak dialog med läsaren och tar upp de frågor många av oss brottas med: Hur bygger vi långvariga och ärliga relationer? Hur kan vi bygga gemenskap och styrka genom våra olikheter? Vilka verktyg har vi för att hantera självtvivel och känslor av hjälplöshet? Vad gör vi när allt blir för mycket? I den här boken erbjuder Michelle Obama läsaren nya berättelser och insiktsfulla reflektioner om förändring, utmaning och styrka, inklusive hennes tro på hur vi lyser upp andra – hur vi kan kasta ljus på mångfalden och potentialen i världen runtomkring oss, och upptäcka nya sanningar och vägar till framgång. Utifrån sina erfarenheter som mor, dotter, maka, vän och First Lady delar hon med sig av de vanor och metoder hon har utvecklat för att framgångsrikt anpassa sig till förändringar och övervinna olika hinder – och som hjälper henne att fortsätta utvecklas. Hon berättar detaljerat om sina mest uppskattade vanor som att ”go high”, ”starting kind” och vikten av att samla på sig ”a kitchen table” av nära vänner och mentorer. Men sin karaktäristiska humor, öppenhet och medkänsla utforskar hon frågor kring etnicitet, kön och vikten av att synas, och uppmuntrar läsaren att överkomma rädsla, finna styrka i gemenskap och leva djärvt.

« Depuis le jardin, j’entendais les conversations des adultes dans la cuisine voisine, le rire de mes parents, naturel et sonore. Je voyais mon frère transpirer à grosses gouttes, jouant avec une bande de garçons au coin de la rue. Tout le monde paraissait à sa place, sauf moi. Quand je repense aujourd’hui à l’inconfort de cet instant, j’y reconnais la difficulté plus universelle de faire coïncider qui vous êtes avec le lieu d’où vous venez et celui que vous voulez atteindre. Et je me rends compte que j’étais encore loin, très loin, d’avoir trouvé ma voix. » - MICHELLE OBAMA Ce témoignage destiné à la nouvelle génération est un récit sincère et passionnant de la vie de Michelle Obama, où elle guide par l''exemple.

Die kraftvolle und inspirierende Autobiografie der ehemaligen First Lady der USA Michelle Obama ist eine der überzeugendsten und beeindruckendsten Frauen der Gegenwart. Als erste afro-amerikanische First Lady der USA trug sie maßgeblich dazu bei, das gastfreundlichste und offenste Weiße Haus zu schaffen, das es je gab. Sie wurde zu einer energischen Fürsprecherin für die Rechte von Frauen und Mädchen in der ganzen Welt, setzte sich für einen dringend notwendigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel hin zu einem gesünderen und aktiveren Leben ein und stärkte außerdem ihrem Ehemann den Rücken, während dieser die USA durch einige der schmerzlichsten Momente des Landes führte. Ganz nebenbei zeigte sie uns noch ein paar lässige Dance-Moves, glänzte beim „Carpool Karaoke“ und schaffte es obendrein auch, zwei bodenständige Töchter zu erziehen – mitten im gnadenlosen Blitzlichtgewitter der Medien. In diesem Buch erzählt sie nun erstmals ihre Geschichte – in ihren eigenen Worten und auf ihre ganz eigene Art. Sie nimmt uns mit in ihre Welt und berichtet von all den Erfahrungen, die sie zu der starken Frau gemacht haben, die sie heute ist. Warmherzig, weise und unverblümt erzählt sie von ihrer Kindheit an der Chicagoer South Side, von den Jahren als Anwältin und leitende Angestellte, von der nicht immer einfachen Zeit als berufstätige Mutter sowie von ihrem Leben an Baracks Seite und dem Leben ihrer Familie im Weißen Haus. Gnadenlos ehrlich und voller Esprit schreibt sie sowohl über große Erfolge als auch über bittere Enttäuschungen, den privaten wie den öffentlichen. Dieses Buch ist mehr als eine Autobiografie. Es enthält die ungewöhnlich intimen Erinnerungen einer Frau mit Herz und Substanz, deren Geschichte uns zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, seiner eigenen Stimme zu folgen.

Michelle Obama er en af vor tids mest ikoniske og spændende kvinder. Som USA’s førstedame – og den første afroamerikanske førstedame – var hun med til at skabe det mest imødekommende og rummelige Hvide Hus i historien, samtidig med at hun etablerede sig som en stærk fortaler for kvinder og piger i USA og rundtomkring i verden. Hun har været med til på afgørende vis at ændre den måde, familier stræber efter et sundere og mere aktivt liv, og hun stod ved sin mands side, da han førte Amerika gennem nogle af de mest dramatiske øjeblikke. Undervejs viste hun os et par dansetrin, sejrede i Carpool Karaoke og opdragede to døtre med begge ben på jorden på trods af en ubarmhjertig mediebevågenhed. Erindringerne er fascinerende historiefortælling og rummer også dybe refleksioner. Michelle Obama inviterer læserne ind i sin verden og i de oplevelser, der har formet hende – fra barndommen i Chicagos South Side til hendes år som en erhvervsleder, der skulle finde balancen mellem moderskab og arbejde, og endelig hendes år på verdens mest berømte adresse. Med ærlighed og humor beskriver hun sine sejre og sine skuffelser, både de offentlige og de private, og fortæller hele sin historie, som hun har oplevet den. Det er varmt, klogt og åbenhjertigt. MIN HISTORIE er en usædvanlig personlig beretning fra en kvinde med sjæl og substans, der utrætteligt har overgået alle forventninger – og hvis historie inspirerer andre til at gøre det samme. Michelle Obama (f.1964) er uddannet advokat fra Princeton university og Harvard Law School. Gift med Barack Obama.
