“I believe being fully present is the sacred jewel in the crown of your life. The ability to slow down and savor the simple pleasures of the present moment is one of my greatest joys. When you are fully present, everything changes. You gain clarity, clear your mind of distractions, and find a new level of calm deep within your soul. As Eckhart Tolle once told me, the only thing you ever have is now. The past is over and the future is not yet here. Our most meaningful moments occur when we slow down, show up, and tune in to what’s right in front of us. Begin to embrace the idea of living in the now as a more awakened, vibrant, alive human being.” —Oprah

BOOKS YOU’LL WANT
Oprah and Mark Nepo explored themes from his work titled The Book of Awakening. He also discussed how being creative can help boost your authenticity and presence in the moment.
In our last live class on March 8, Oprah, Dr. Anita Phillips, and Claudia Rankine explored many of the themes discussed in Rankine’s work Just Us: An American Conversation. In the book, Rankine uses a range of essays, poems, and images to help us connect deeply and converse on topics that are often divisive, including white privilege.
In February, Oprah and Frank Bruni discussed the theme of vulnerability and how it relates to Bruni’s powerful memoir, The Beauty of Dusk: On Vision Lost and Found. Bruni recounts the medical and spiritual odyssey he embarked on following a stroke that left him blind in one eye and threatened to take away his sight entirely.
Back in January, Oprah and Martha Beck took a deeper look at the themes and topics covered in Martha’s book The Way of Integrity: Finding the Path to Your True Self. This suggested reading can help you dig deeper into those themes and better equip you to achieve your goals for this year and beyond.
