by Oprah Winfrey, Bill Adler
Those who can’t get enough of Oprah might enjoy The Uncommon Wisdom of Oprah Winfrey: A Portrait in Her Own Words.
In this small-format volume, Bill Adler arranges chronologically, as well as by subject, hundreds of brief quotes by Oprah,
drawn from myriad sources, into a breezy "autobiographical depiction." She comments on her early years, her career moves,
and her weight problems, among other topics.

by Bob Greene, Oprah Winfrey
After trying every diet program imaginable--from Atkins to Optifast--media giant and self-confessed junk-food junkie Oprah
Winfrey met personal trainer and exercise physiologist Bob Greene. The rest is talk-show history. (Who can forget seeing
Oprah wheeling that wagon of fat onstage?) Instead of fad diets, fasts, and quick fixes, Greene taught Oprah how to eat
right and exercise regularly. He helped her lose more than 70 pounds and changed her life forever.
In Make the Connection, Greene tells you how to lose weight the Oprah way: with hard work that includes a sensible diet and
daily workouts. He gives 10 steps that he believes are the fastest and most effective ways to increase your metabolism and
decrease your weight. You’ll also learn why we eat, how to become self-aware, the purpose of body fat, and the physics
of body weight. To keep you motivated, Oprah shares her personal shape-up story and offers suggestions for sticking with the
program. Make the Connection is about more than shedding pounds. It is also about making a daily commitment to take care of
your body and feel better about yourself.

by Oprah Winfrey
Get Oprah’s two cents on everything from rocky romance and overcoming fear to spiritual growth and setting goals. Compiling
from numerous sources, author Janet Lowe (Warren Buffett Speaks, Bill Gates Speaks) pulls together an impressive collage of quotes
and anecdotes from one of the most influential women of the 20th century. Whether you’re looking for a nugget of wisdom on
relationships ("You know the old cliché, 'a good man is hard to find'? Well, it's true. And the smarter you get, the harder they
are to find") or a spiritual insight ("God blesses you better when you pray on your knees"), Oprah Winfrey Speaks is chock-full of
snappy snippets and sage advice. Although the book spans everything from Oprah’s upbringing to her future predictions, most of
the subjects are covered in a few pages or less, making it a better digest than diary.

by Oprah Winfrey, Ken Regan (Photographer)
For almost 10 years Oprah Winfrey has pursued her dream of bringing Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Beloved, to
the big screen. Now that dream has been realized, and the process is described in Journey to Beloved. The most extraordinary thing
about this production diary, and the essay that prefaces it, is the extent to which it reveals Oprah’s private struggles. As
director Jonathan Demme writes in the foreword, we all have an image of Oprah as a "Major Public Figure," and one might approach
this book, and even the movie, with preconceptions about her. These preconceptions evaporate immediately. She is filled with doubts
about her ability to play the central role of Sethe. Surrounded by more experienced moviemakers, from Demme to costar Danny Glover,
she worries that she lacks the skill and the strength to carry a project that is so important to her. Oprah obviously feels a deep
spiritual connection with the story she is committing to film. This connection, which is shared with the cast and crew of Beloved,
comes through clearly in every diary entry:
Tomorrow is the first day of dialogue. Am I ready? I think so. I bring the force and grace of history and pain with me, carrying the
Ancestors in my heart, hoping, but also knowing, they, too, carry me.... I ask God for grace, and the power of the spirits whose lives
went unnoticed, demeaned and diminished by slavery. Calling on you. Calling on you. I try to prepare in terms of logic, reasoning,
what would [Sethe] be thinking--chronologically--but I really believe I can call her up. Her and so many others. I’m counting on them.
Journey to Beloved is filled with wonderful, powerful, black-and-white production images by award-winning photographer Ken Regan. These,
and the text that they accompany, lift this book far above anything that could be called a movie tie-in. It is the moving record of a
journey from the birth of a dream to its fulfillment.
