About this listen

Audie Award, Personal Development, 2015

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 14 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, lost beloved pets and adopted new ones, 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 listeners will turn to again and again.

Perspective

What did you love best about What I Know for Sure?

How humble and honest Oprah is in this book. Oprah is so relatable in this book. She gives advice and experience for every age group. Its a great book and the take away is money is a tool that provides opportunities and options, and should not be the most important thing in life.

This is a great book!! A must read!!

I listened to this book. And also shared it. It helped me with a bud decision that I needed to make. It helped me tremendously. I had sent her a copy of a book of mine, entitled “My Grandfather’s book: A Hard Time to Remember.” Hoped maybe it would make a great addition to books featured in her magazine. But not giving up hope.

Inspiring & a survival tool

This book had a tremendous impact and has come into my life during my most challenging years, and that was not by chance ...is "what I know for sure". Thank you Oprah. This is a book is my arsenal of important reminders to keep at my side for the rest of my life.
