In her bestselling follow-up to the worldwide phenomenon Becoming, Michelle Obama shares practical wisdom and insightful reflections to help us find inner strength; create and deepen relationships with others; and better protect and strengthen ourselves.

Drawing from her experiences as a mother, daughter, spouse, friend, and First Lady, she shares the tools, habits and principles that she has developed to successfully adapt to change, like "starting kind", "going high", and assembling a "kitchen table" of trusted friends and mentors.

Full of humour and candour, fresh stories and profound advice, The Light We Carry will inspire readers to remain hopeful and balanced in a turbulent world.
