"On January 1, 2008, a 35-year-old average woman embarked on a year-long journey with Oprah as her guide. Robyn Okrant decided to follow every piece of advice offered in Oprah's show, magazine, and website. Living Oprah is the account of what it's like to 'live Oprah'"--Provided by the publisher.

If reality tv is all the rage in the television world, then attempting one-year challenges is all the rage in book world. Robyn Okrant set out to try to follow Oprah's precepts, those presented on her show and in her magazine and online, for a year.
I heard about this last summer and have been waiting for the book ever since. I was not disappointed. Okrant is respectful of Oprah, and, though she finds many of Oprah's pronouncements overly enthusiastic, she also discovers many wise tidbits of advice.
(Happiness side note: Okrant's happiness level dropped abysmally as the year progressed, primarily from increased levels of stress in attempting to follow all of the Oprah manifestos.)
