Book description
Vencer en tiempos de incertidumbre. Después de Becoming. Mi historia, el libro de memorias aclamado por la crítica y número uno en ventas, llega esta inspiradora obra en la que Michelle Obama, ex primera dama de Estados Unidos, comparte conocimientos prácticos y estrategias eficaces para conservar la esperanza y la estabilidad en el mundo tan incierto en el que vivimos. Tal vez no existan soluciones perfectas o respuestas concisas a los grandes desafíos de la vida, pero Michelle Obama cree que podemos identificar un conjunto de herramientas y apoyarnos en ellas para navegar mejor las aguas del cambio y mantenernos firmes en medio de la inestabilidad. En Con luz propia, entabla un diálogo franco y honesto con el lector y se plantea las preguntas que nos acucian a muchos: ¿cómo construir relaciones duraderas y sinceras? ¿Cómo encontrar fuerzas y un espíritu comunitario en nuestras diferencias? ¿Qué herramientas debemos usar para combatir la baja autoestima y la sensación de impotencia? ¿Qué debemos hacer cuando empezamos a sentirnos sobrepasados? Michelle Obama ofrece al lector una serie de historias novedosas y reflexiones esclarecedoras sobre el cambio, los retos y el poder; incluida su convicción de que, cuando brillamos por los demás, podemos arrojar luz sobre la riqueza y el potencial del mundo que nos rodea; lo que nos permite descubrir verdades más trascendentales y nuevos caminos hacia el progreso. Partiendo de sus experiencias como madre, hija, cónyuge, amiga y primera dama, nos revela los hábitos y los principios que ha desarrollado para adaptarse con éxito al cambio y superar diversos obstáculos; la sabiduría adquirida que la ayuda a seguir escribiendo «su historia». Explica con detalle sus prácticas más beneficiosas, como «ser amable de entrada», «volar alto» y reunir ante una «mesa de cocina» a amigos y mentores de confianza. Con el sentido del humor, la franqueza y la compasión que la caracterizan explora también cuestiones relacionadas con la raza, el género y la visibilidad, animando al lector a vencer el miedo, buscar fuerza en la comunidad y vivir con denuedo. «Ser capaces de reconocer nuestra propia luz nos empodera para utilizarla», escribe Michelle Obama. Mediante una gratificante combinación de historias poderosas y consejos lúcidos que estimularán el diálogo, Con luz propia inspira al lector a examinar su vida, identificar sus fuentes de alegría y establecer conexiones significativas en un mundo turbulento. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION In an inspiring follow-up to her critically acclaimed, #1 bestselling 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.
