About this audiobook
"Fans of Oprah Winfrey's TV show, or more recently her two podcasts, will have this title on their playlist for months." — AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award winner
Everyone has a purpose. And, according to Oprah Winfrey, “Your real job in life is to figure out as soon as possible what that is, who you are meant to be, and begin to honor your calling in the best way possible.”
That journey starts right here.
In her latest audiobook, The Path Made Clear, Oprah shares what she sees as a guide for activating your deepest vision of yourself, offering the framework for creating not just a life of success, but one of significance. The audiobook’s ten chapters are organized to help you recognize the important milestones along the road to self-discovery, laying out what you really need in order to achieve personal contentment, and what life’s detours are there to teach us.
Oprah opens each chapter by sharing her own key lessons and the personal stories that helped set the course for her best life. She then brings together wisdom and insights from luminaries in a wide array of fields, inspiring listeners to consider what they’re meant to do in the world and how to pursue it with passion and focus. These renowned figures share the greatest lessons from their own journeys toward a life filled with purpose.
The Path Made Clear provides listeners with a valuable resource for achieving a life lived in service of your calling – whatever it may be.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It's a good book, but I don't believe life is that simple. Each situation is different and you have to deal with it accordingly, some situations are not as simple as you may think.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What a wonderful gift to give yourself if you're being called to self discovery. This book reaches down to the core of the place you've been afraid to go and unapologetically grabs your attention. It speaks the approval to look inside and begin to pay attention to that voice beckoning you to be you. Great Book! Very inspirational and encouraging.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Public opinion about Oprah Winfrey seems to be all over the place these days, but if you have ever enjoyed her once popular talk show (personally I’ve never seen it), this book will be a pretty good read. Full of inspiration and nostalgia, Winfrey showcases multiple stories and pieces of advice from a variety of popular figures that all explore the topic of “discovering your life's direction and purpose.”Oprah opens each chapter with her own stories & lessons, and then rest of the chapters are filled by quotes & snippets of interviews from Super Soul Sunday guests, luminaries in a wide array of fields with stunning photographs of nature as the backdrops. I would definitely recommend checking it out from the library first before buying it to see if this is the book is right for you.
