The Light We Carry
Overcoming in Uncertain Times
The practical follow-up to Becoming: the habits and mindsets Obama leans on to stay steady when everything feels unstable
Where Becoming told her story, this book offers the toolkit: the practices, mentors and habits of mind Obama relies on to steady herself through fear and change. She writes about friendship, code-switching, marriage and the small daily disciplines that hold a person together, aiming to give readers something usable rather than simply inspiring. It is warmer and more practical than its predecessor.
