The Obamas are some of my favorite role models. They really seem to have figured out how to live: maximizing their effectiveness, while staying close to their values and having fun along the way. I’m a little embarassed that I listened to this audio book, but I did enjoy it. It’s full of firsthand accounts of Michelle’s perspective on events I remember. She’s diplomatic, though, and doesn’t trash talk anybody. That’s part of what I like so much about her. It was also interesting to learn more about her early years. And I’m always interested to learn how very successful people manage lifestyle stuff like diet, exercise, even clothing choices. (She intentionally avoided having a „look“, changing it up all the time so there was no outfit that looked „so Michelle Obama“.) It’s mostly relatively light, but an enjoyable listen if you are an Obama fan.
