Book Description

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.
