In the initial problem of O, The Oprah Magazine, Oprah wrote: ‘We are the causes of our very own effects . That is why I’ll never stop requesting the issue, ‘What do you know for certain?” In the fourteen years since Oprah wrote those words, she has retired The Oprah Winfrey Show (the highest-rated program of its kind ever sold), released her own tv network, become America’s just black billionaire, dropped beloved house animals and adopted fresh ones, watched close friends and colleagues come and go, about What I Know for certain celebrated milestone birthdays – and through it all, she’s continued to offer profound and inspiring terms of wisdom in her once a month O column, ‘What I UNDERSTAND For Sure’.

Now, for the very first time, these thoughtful gems have been revised, updated and gathered in What I Know For Sure, a lovely book packed with insight and revelation from Oprah Winfrey. Organized by theme, these essays offer a uncommon and powerful glimpse into the mind of one from the world’s most incredible women. Candid, moving, exhilarating, uplifting and dynamic, what Oprah shares in What I Know FOR CERTAIN shimmer with the type of intelligence and truth that readers will consider again and again.
