A fascinating, funny and thought-provoking account of one woman's quest to live her 'best life' according to Oprah's advice for a year.
My One-Year Experiment to Walk the Walk of the Queen of talk 'Shhh ... listen carefully. ?If you're very quiet, you can hear ?the echoes of screaming triggered by the ?surprise announcement that today's audience ?is being treated to Oprah's "Favorite things" for ?summer ... I shudder to think what I might end up ?adding to my to-do list by the end of the hour.' On January 1, 2008, Robyn Okrant kicked off a year-?long experiment to find out what would happen if an average ?35-year-old woman put her life in the hands of television's ?most influential personality, Oprah Winfrey. Using the Oprah ?Winfrey Show, O, the Oprah Magazine and Oprah.com as a ?roadmap for her journey, her rule was whatever Oprah says, ?she does. From her wardrobe to her marriage, diet, spiritual ?life, finances, home and beyond, the author redesigned her ?entire life according to Winfrey's 'best life' advice. Why Oprah? Hers is the quintessential rags-to-riches story, ?and her 'Live Your Best Life' theme inspires millions to strive for ?happier, more productive lives. And of all the cultural influences ?on women, Oprah is one of the most prevalent and powerful. Funny, fascinating and thought-provoking, LIVING OPRAH ?chronicles the author's odyssey as she moves in and ?out of her comfort zone - sometimes exhilarated, sometimes exhausted and often bemused - ?while exploring just how much influence ?any one person, even Oprah, ?should have on others.
