Bøger af Michelle Obama

I kender hende selvfølgelig allerede. Michelle Obama er en ganske særlig kvinde. Hun blev elsket for sin rolle som USAs førstedame, hvor hun viste, hvordan en præsidents hustru kan være med til at forandre verden. Det var fra denne position, den inspirerende kvinde etablerede sig som intelligent og passioneret fortaler for kvinder og piger – ikke blot i USA, men også i hele verden. Hun stod ved sin mands side gennem USAs krisetider, og hun formåede at bevare begge ben på jorden og hjertet på rette sted. Som det hele menneske, hun er, har hun vist verden sine dansetrin, sit sangtalent og sin humor, som er blevet udfoldet i samspil med journalister fra diverse tv-shows. I MIN HISTORIE inviterer hun læseren helt ind og byder på erindringer og betragtninger fra livet før Det Hvide Hus. Hun fortæller om sin barndom, om livet som karrierekvinde og om at finde balancen mellem moderskab og arbejde. Hendes fortælling leveres med den ærlighed og humor, der kendetegner den forbilledlige kvinde.

I denne inspirerende opfølger til sin anmelderroste selvbiografi, bestselleren Min historie, videregiver den tidligere amerikanske præsidentfrue Michelle Obama sine praktiske erfaringer og effektive strategier til at bevare håbet og holde balancen i den usikre verden, vi lever i. Måske findes der ingen nemme løsninger eller smarte svar på livets store udfordringer, men Michelle Obama tror på, at vi alle kan finde og støtte os til en række redskaber, der kan hjælpe os til bedre at håndtere forandringer og bevare roen i en turbulent tid.I Lyset i os alle ­­­– At finde håb og styrke i svære tider går hun i en åben og ærlig dialog med læserne og reflekterer over de spørgsmål, mange af os kæmper med: Hvordan opbygger vi holdbare og ærlige forhold? Hvordan kan vi finde styrke og fællesskab i vores forskelligheder? Hvilke redskaber kan vi bruge til at tackle følelser som tvivl eller hjælpeløshed? Hvad gør vi, når det hele føles for overvældende? Michelle Obama deler indsigtsfulde overvejelser om forandringer, udfordringer og styrker. Om sin tro på, at vi, når vi tænder lys for andre, samtidig kaster lys på rigdommen og potentialet i verden omkring os og opdager dybere sandheder og nye veje til fremskridt.Hun trækker på sine erfaringer som mor, datter, ægtefælle, ven og præsidentfrue og giver de strategier videre, hun selv bruger, når hun står over for forandringer og skal overvinde forhindringer. De praktiske erfaringer, som hjælper hende med at fortsætte med at ”blive til”. Hun uddyber, hvordan hun konkret arbejder med de metoder, der udvikler hende – som for eksempel at ”begynde med venlighed”, ”hæve niveauet” og at samle en gruppe venner og rådgivere omkring sig, som hun har tillid til. Med sin vanlige humor, åbenhed og medfølelse udforsker hun også emner som race, køn og synlighed og opmuntrer læserne til at arbejde sig igennem frygt, finde styrke i fællesskaber og være modige.”Hvis du kender din egen kilde til lys, bliver du også i stand til at bruge det. Ét lys nærer et andet,” skriver Michelle Obama.Lyset i os alle er en gavmild blanding af stærke historier og dybsindige råd, som kan sætte samtaler i gang og inspirere læserne til at granske deres egne liv og finde frem til, hvad der giver dem glæde –­ og skabe meningsfulde relationer i en usikker verden.Om forfatteren:Michelle Obama var præsidentfrue i USA fra 2009 til 2017.
