Operah WInfrey says her New Book [Wisdom of Sundays] is life-changing

In every interview, Oprah Winfrey strives to have one reaction, “I’ve never thought of it that way.”

She’s walked away from many of her Super Soul Sunday interviews, featuring celebrity guests and influential thinkers, uttering that exact phrase. Now in her new book, “The Wisdom of Sundays: Life-changing Insights from Super Soul Conversations,” Winfrey shares selections from those conversations that have inspired her most -- in hopes of encouraging others to live a fuller life.

“My intention with the book is to offer on every page an opportunity to find a way to be closer to yourself, closer to the heart that you believe, closer to the name you refer to God as being, closer to bigger, closer to a better life," Winfrey told ABC News. "To find a way because I believe that there are all kinds of avenues, different paths leading to the same goal and the highest goal is the truest expression of yourself as a human being."

Winfrey also intentionally diversified who was featured in the book to give readers from different backgrounds a chance to connect. Influential speakers, writers and authors like Tony Robbins, Deepak Choprah, Shonda Rhimes, Arianna Huffington, and Elizabeth Lesser discuss spirituality, forgiveness, fulfillment and gratitude. The topics range, but the goal is simple, she says: “To understand why you’re here and what you’re to do while you’re here on the planet.”

“I start the day off with something that is spiritual that puts my mindset, my heart, my goals, in a space of purposeful meaningful living so you’re just not bombarded by all the news, chaos and junk of the day,” Winfrey said.

But spirituality takes work and order, Winfrey warned. “You have to be the designer of your life, if you’re not willing to do that then you don’t deserve the best life. If you’re not willing to give yourself the time to spiritually feed and nourish your own soul then you don’t deserve to live a purposeful soulful meaningful existence because it takes work. It takes support.”
