Product Description
For anyone on a journey of self-discovery, here is the ultimate handbook for living well. O's Guide to Life, the new second volume of The Best of O, The Oprah Magazine book series, gathers the most empowering, energizing, and entertaining articles of the magazine's last two years. Filled with advice from experts such as Dr. Phil, Suze Orman, Martha Beck, and Oprah, the book addresses three major aspects of life. "Your Personal Best" focuses on emotional and physical well-being: maintaining health, building confidence, finding a sense of purpose and balance.

And, "Living in the World" urges the reader to make life more meaningful by helping and reaching out to others. This is a resource that readers will keep returning to for answers and inspiration.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Presentation, December 19, 2007

By	A. Lucas (GA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I purchased this as a gift for my mom, but couldn't resist taking a peek inside before wrapping it up. The book is lovely, cover to cover. Chock full of bright pictures and catchy articles to draw you in, but still maintaining clean lines to facilitate a good read - quick or extended, an easy choice with the way the book is divided. That's why I think it's a perfect gift for someone on the go - the book is easy to pick up and put down when time allows, so as not to intimidate the reader who may prefer to take in pages in one sitting, rather than chapters. I recommend it for anyone who likes the show, or needs a variety of positive reading material all bound in one cover!

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book, December 31, 2007

By	T. Judd (North Carolina) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I Love Oprah and even tried her magazine for a while - but it was too much pressure to read it every month with job, kids, bills, etc. The book is beautiful inside and out - so well organized and filled with the very best articles from the magazine (minus the ads). I can review at my leisure and have a high quality book to adorn my bedside table.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy "Best Of", April 25, 2008

By	Smauge (Sydney Aus) - See all my reviews

The tiltle of this book is very acurate - it really is a guide to life. Not everyone will enjoy this but if you are an avid watcher of Oprah, or, more appropriately, a regular reader of O Magazine, chances are you're gonna love this. Divided into different sections so it is easier to find what you are looking for, this makes a great read whether you are flipping through the pages or reading cover to cover.
