SUMMARY:February Book Club Meeting: The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncer
 tain Times By Michelle Obama
DESCRIPTION:#1 NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER - ONE OF TIME'S
  100 MUST-READ BOOKS OF 2022 - In an inspiring follow-up to her criticall
 y acclaimed\, #1 bestselling memoir Becoming\, former First Lady Michell
 e Obama shares practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopefu
 l and balanced in today's highly uncertain world.\n\nThere may be no tidy 
 solutions or pithy answers to life's big challenges\, but Michelle Obama b
 elieves that we can all locate and lean on a set of tools to help us bette
 r navigate change and remain steady within flux. In The Light We Carry\,
  she opens a frank and honest dialogue with readers\, considering the que
 stions many of us wrestle with: How do we build enduring and honest relati
 onships? How can we discover strength and community inside our differences
 ? What tools do we use to address feelings of self-doubt or helplessness? 
 What do we do when it all starts to feel like too much?\n\nMichelle Obama 
 offers readers a series of fresh stories and insightful reflections on cha
 nge\, challenge\, and power\, including her belief that when we light up f
 or others\, we can illuminate the richness and potential of the world arou
 nd us\, discovering deeper truths and new pathways for progress. Drawing f
 rom her experiences as a mother\, daughter\, spouse\, friend\, and First L
 ady\, she shares the habits and principles she has developed to successful
 ly adapt to change and overcome various obstacles--the earned wisdom that 
 helps her continue to "become." She details her most valuable practices\, 
 like "starting kind\," "going high\," and assembling a "kitchen table" of 
 trusted friends and mentors. With trademark humor\, candor\, and compassio
 n\, she also explores issues connected to race\, gender\, and visibility\,
  encouraging readers to work through fear\, find strength in community\, a
 nd live with boldness.\n\n"When we are able to recognize our own light\, w
 e become empowered to use it\," writes Michelle Obama. A rewarding blend o
 f powerful stories and profound advice that will ignite conversation\, Th
 e Light We Carry inspires readers to examine their own lives\, identify t
 heir sources of gladness\, and connect meaningfully in a turbulent world.
