I en inspirerende oppfølger til den kritikerroste bestselgende selvbiografien Min historie gir USAs tidligere førstedame Michelle Obama praktiske råd og foreslår gode strategier for å bevare håpet og likevekten i dagens svært usikre verden. Det finnes kanskje ingen enkle løsninger eller fyndige svar på livets store utfordringer, men Michelle Obama mener at vi alle kan finne og støtte oss til et verktøysett som vil hjelpe oss med å håndtere endringer bedre og bevare likevekten midt i alle forandringene. I Lyset i oss alle går hun inn i en åpenhjertig og oppriktig dialog med leserne og diskuterer spørsmålene mange av oss strever med: Hvordan skal vi bygge opp varige og ærlige vennskap? Hvordan kan vi finne styrke og fellesskap til tross for meningsforskjellene våre? Hvilke verktøy bruker vi for å håndtere manglende selvtillit eller hjelpeløshet? Hva gjør vi når det begynner å føles som om alt blir for mye for oss? Michelle Obama gir leserne en rekke nye historier og innsiktsfulle refleksjoner over endring, utfordring og makt, deriblant sin tro på at når vi lyser opp livet for andre, kan vi kaste lys over rikdommen og potensialet i våre nærmeste omgivelser og finne frem til dypere sannheter og nye veier til fremskritt.

Hun beskriver de vanene hun setter aller størst pris på, som å «begynne vennlig», «heve seg over ting» og sette sammen et «kjøkkenbord» av betrodde venner og mentorer. Hun utforsker også temaer forbundet med rase, kjønn og synlighet med sin sedvanlige humor, oppriktighet og varme og oppfordrer leserne til å jobbe seg gjennom frykt, finne styrke i fellesskapet og leve frimodig. «Når vi klarer å finne vårt eget lys, får vi også styrke til å bruke det,» skriver Mich

Michelle Obama har levd et liv fylt med mening og store prestasjoner, og anses i dag som en av vår tids mest toneangivende kvinner. Som USAs førstedame, og den første afroamerikanske kvinnen som har hatt denne rollen, bidro hun til å gjøre Det hvite hus mer åpent og inkluderende, samtidig som hun inntok rollen som en innflytelsesrik forkjemper for jenter og kvinner i USA og i verden for øvrig, hun bidro til at familier nå søker å leve sunnere og mer aktive liv, og stod ved sin ektemanns side da han ledet USA gjennom mange av landets mest opprivende stunder. Underveis har hun vist oss noen uforglemmelige dansetrinn, triumfert i Carpool Karaoke og oppdratt to jordnære døtre under medias uforsonlige blikk.I sine memoarer, en bok med dype refleksjoner og fascinerende historier, inviterer Michelle Obama leserne med inn i sin verden. Hun skildrer opplevelsene som har formet henne, fra barndommen på sørsiden av Chicago, via årene som utøvende yrkeskvinne hvor hun måtte balansere kravene til morsrollen mot kravene fra arbeidsplassen, til tiden hun tilbragte på verdens mest kjente adresse. Med ærlighet og vidd beskriver hun sine seiere og sine skuffelser, både de offentlige og de private, hun gir oss hele sin historie slik hun har opplevd den - med egne ord og på egne betingelser. Min historie er en klok og åpenhjertig bok, og en uvanlig nær og intim betraktning fra en kvinne med sjel og substans, som konsekvent har overgått forventningene hun har blitt møtt med - og hvis historie har inspirert oss alle.
