BOOK: MY ONE-YEAR EXPERIMENT TO WALK THE WALK OF THE QUEEN OF TALK: LIVING OPRAH by Robyn Okrant (2010)
My initial curiosity about this project was strong from the get go. How does one Live Oprah? What does that even entail? And while I was thinking it probably had the most to do with following her advice, I didn’t realize just how much there really was to follow.
Okrant takes this project seriously and delves deep into living her life according to Oprah from the TV program, websites, projects Oprah suggests and basically anything that comes with the “Oprah stamp” on it.
Each chapter is a month and there are breakdowns of how much she spends (time and money) and she lets the reader know exactly how she feels about each step. While it’s a trying year, what comes of it is something different than what’s expected. But isn’t that always the case?
