In this updated edition of the bestseller published ten years ago,
Oprah shares what she has come to know for sure in the last decade.
After film critic Gene Siskel asked her, "What do you know for sure?"
Oprah Winfrey began writing the "What I Know For Sure" column in O, The
Oprah Magazine. Saying that the question offered her a way to take
"stock of her life," Oprah has penned one column a month over the last
fourteen years, years in which she retired The Oprah Winfrey Show (the
highest-rated program of its kind in history), launched her own
television network, became America's only black billionaire, was
awarded an honorary degree from Harvard University and the Presidential
Medal of Freedom, watched friends and colleagues come and go, and
celebrated milestone birthdays. Throughout it all, she's continued to
offer her profound and inspiring words of wisdom in her "What I Know
For Sure" column in O, The Oprah Magazine.
Now, for the first time, these thoughtful gems have been revised,
updated, and collected in What I Know For Sure, a beautiful book packed
with insight and revelation from Oprah Winfrey. Organized by theme-joy,
resilience, connection, gratitude, possibility, awe, clarity, and
power-these essays offer a rare and powerful glimpse into the mind of
one of the world's most extraordinary women. Candid, moving,
exhilarating, uplifting, and dynamic, the words Oprah shares in What I
Know For Sure shimmer with the sort of wisdom and truth that readers
will turn to again and again.
Learn how to take risks, thrive and build your dream career.
'Sukhinder is one of Silicon Valley's most well-respected leaders.
Her unique style of authenticity, optimism and hustle will help
anyone unlock their career potential' - Eric Schmidt, former
chairman & CEO, Google Each one of us dreams of possibility -
in our careers and in our personal lives. But our pursuit of
possibility is hamstrung by 'The Myth of the Single Choice' that
has led us to believe that one large choice stands between us and
success, and that a single failure may topple us should we choose
'wrongly'. We let fear trump possibility: we become paralyzed.
Sukhinder Singh Cassidy is one of the most well-respected leaders
in Silicon Valley, but her path to success has been far from
linear. While she has started three companies including
theBoardlist, and has served as president of StubHub, she's also
encountered failed choices, misfires, and all other types of
pitfalls that she had to learn how to overcome and incorporate into
her new path forward. Drawing on her own experience and those of
other leaders, Sukhinder shows that when people thrive, it's
because their fear of missing out on an opportunity overtakes their
fear of failure, and compels them to take action. Better yet, they
keep acting, building a fundamental risk-taking muscle that under
weighs the importance of any single choice in favour of continually
'choosing'. Choose Possibility is a thrilling and insightful new
way to approach risk-taking and achieve lasting success. 'An
excellent guide to help anyone learn how to take risks in their own
careers and thrive' - Kai-Fu Lee, chairman & CEO, Sinovation
Ventures and author of bestseller AI Superpowers
The brain is an absolute marvel-the seat of our consciousness, the
pinnacle (so far) of evolutionary progress, and the engine of human
experience. But it's also messy, fallible, and about 50,000 years
out of date. We cling to superstitions, remember faces but not
names, miss things sitting right in front of us, and lie awake at
night while our brains endlessly replay our greatest fears. Idiot
Brain is for anyone who has ever wondered why their brain appears
to be sabotaging their life-and what on earth it is really up to. A
Library Journal Science Bestseller and a Finalist for the Goodreads
Choice Award in Science & Technology.

The #1 New York Times Bestseller From the bestselling author and
columnist behind The Atlantic's popular "How to Build a Life"
series, a guide to transforming the life changes we fear into a
source of strength. In the first half of life, ambitious strivers
embrace a simple formula for success in work and life: focus
single-mindedly, work tirelessly, sacrifice personally, and climb
the ladder relentlessly. It works. Until it doesn't. It turns out
the second half of life is governed by different rules. In middle
age, many strivers begin to find success coming harder and harder,
rewards less satisfying, and family relationships withering. In
response, they do what strivers always do: they double down on work
in an attempt to outrun decline and weakness, and deny the changes
that are becoming more and more obvious. The result is often anger,
fear, and disappointment at a time in life that they imagined would
be full of joy, fulfillment, and pride. It doesn't have to be that
way. In From Strength to Strength, happiness expert and bestselling
author Arthur C. Brooks reveals a path to beating the "striver's
curse." Drawing on science, classical philosophy, theology, and
history, he shares counterintuitive strategies for releasing old
habits and forming new life practices, showing you how to: - Kick
the habits of workaholism, success addiction, and
self-objectification - Meditate on death-in order to beat fear and
live well - Start a spiritual adventure - Embrace weakness in a way
that turns it into strength. Change in your life is inevitable, but
suffering is not. From Strength to Strength shows you how to accept
the gifts of the second half of life with grace, joy, and ever
deepening purpose.
