Discover Mrs. Obama’s advice in a fresh, interactive format! A publication date of Tuesday, December 3, 2024, has been set for OVERCOMING: A Workbook by Michelle Obama, former First Lady of the United States. The news was announced in an exclusive feature in The Root and was immediately celebrated afterwards on Mrs. Obama’s own Instagram account. Angela Johnson writes, “Our Forever First Lady, Michelle Obama, always gives us exactly what we need – even when we don’t know we need it.”
A stunningly designed workbook, OVERCOMING (Clarkson Potter) draws upon the practical life lessons and earned wisdom Mrs. Obama shared with readers in her #1 New York Times bestseller THE LIGHT WE CARRY, which to date has sold more than 1.85 million units across all formats in North America. Sharing Mrs. Obama’s timeless and inspiring advice with readers in a fresh, interactive, and instructional new format, OVERCOMING presents creative activities, reflective writing prompts, habit-tracking tools, and more to provide the ultimate guide to unlocking your small power, sharing your whole self, showing up in relationships, “going high,” and more.
“I’ve always found that it can be useful to break down a gigantic goal or an intimidating challenge into its component parts,” says Mrs. Obama. “This way, you are less likely to get overwhelmed or exhausted, or crash into feelings of futility. Learning to take smaller steps helps us understand what’s actually within our control so that we can prioritize our efforts, sustain our energy, and create new possibilities for ourselves and for those around us. That’s what I hope this workbook can help readers achieve—a sense of meaningful progress that nourishes their hope and energy.”
Filled with practical tools for navigating life’s challenges and fortifying oneself in the face of uncertainty, obstacles, and self-doubt, OVERCOMING is Obama’s call to pay attention to how you’re feeling, prioritize your wellness, and make a habit of rest and repair.

Filled with thoughtful activities and writing prompts, I hope this workbook can help you unlock your power. https://t.co/IZWLMRGTn5 #Overcoming pic.twitter.com/YfC0uIsqc1
