Few people other than Oprah can count Bono, Alicia Keys, Sen. Barack Obama, and award-winning authors Amy Bloom and Ann Patchett among her buddies. Oprah's rightfully tapped these friendships over the years for contributions to O, The Oprah Magazine, for Q & A's and ruminations that cover such topics as love, friendship, the creative process, and how to cultivate joy. In Live Your Best Life, the past several years' worth of articles have been own pared down into a collection of the most "rip and save-worthy" ones. A bit surprisingly, some of the more stick-in-your-head essays and profiles are by and about people who are far from household names, but who are putting their souls into work that's bettering themselves and world. Like Susan Buckley, who lost 75 pounds and kept it off for 11 years; or "everyday hero" Saranne Rothberg, who founded the nonprofit Comedy Cures, to bring humor to people who, like herself, have faced a cancer diagnosis. While the majority of the book's topics are woman-focused ("Oprah Talks to a Mother of 9"; "Getting Married: The Strategic Approach"), a good chunk of it ought to appeal to men, such as the interviews with Barack Obama and Nelson Mandela. Speaking of chunky, the book's hefty enough to induce wrist strain--as if the editors of O and Oprah meant it to be read only while propped on your lap, as you take a well-deserved break, stretched out on a comfy sofa.--Erica Jorgensen

Oprah is a dynamo. And in this delightfully supercilious compendium of interviews, advice, wit and wisdom, you'll find a way to finally give meaning to your life. I can honestly say that if it wasn't for Oprah, I don't know where I'd be in my life. I don't bother doing anything that she hasn't endorsed or given some time on her show. It's just not worth risking.

I also want to answer a lot of Oprah's critics out there: she just does not care what you say. And she's not, but even if she was a bit bossy, slightly fake, sychophantic to celebs and arrogant. She gets things done! She helps wayward souls find meaning in their miserable lives through her products. And do I detect more than a hint of jealousy from those detractors? Of course, they all wish they were as powerful as Oprah and could afford to do anything they wanted.

For one, I thank Oprah for all she's done for me, for my low self-esteem my poor writing skills and the world.

Book Description

A collection of stories, advice, and self-deprecating wit from former first lady and current "first mom" Barbara Bush.The wife of one president, the mother of another, and a direct descendant of our fourteenth president, Franklin Pierce, Barbara Bush has lived a life immersed in the world of politics. Yet she has captured the hearts of the American people by remaining down-to-earth, genuine, and by demonstrating a remarkable ability to poke fun at herself and the trappings of high office. Over the years Barbara Bush's wit and wisdom have amused, enlightened, and touched even the most jaded among us-Republicans and Democrats alike. With a mix of recollections from a political life, grandmotherly advice, and charming humor-on speaking to the National Association of Plastic Surgeons: "I was scared to death. I thought they were going to rush the stage!"First Mom demonstrates why the nation first fell in love with Barbara Bush, and why we continue to adore her today.The book also includes a special-edition DVD of the Aamp;E Biography "Barbara Bush: First Mom," which brings some of these delightful quotes and stories to life.

1 out of 5 stars Make Me Vomit.......2006-04-25

So it's her fault 'eh? That she raised a child with zero morals, zero ethics, and zero brains. I would not brag about it. And from what she has said in the press, she lacks true humor, compassion, and sympathy. Her son's job should be outsourced to India. The title alone makes me want to throw up.

1 out of 5 stars Nit Wit is more accurate.......2006-01-27

Anyone who has heard or read her shameful remarks at the Houston Astrodome after hurricane Katrina already has a pretty good idea of the "wisdom" of this lame brain.

If we can judge by the apples that have fallen from this tree, she would be better off applying an additional dose of fertilizer to herself than trying to foist this manure on innocent readers.

2 out of 5 stars stories Tugboat Babs tells the girls.......2005-11-05

It is fairly amazing to realize that Barbara Bush is related to three of our four worst presidents -- her husband, her spawn, and the drunk slavery fan Franklin Pierce. You can see elements of all of them in Babs and these agreeably filthy stories with amuse all but the most prudish readers.

3 out of 5 stars Descendent of Franklin Pierce??.......2004-10-14

How could Barbara Bush be a descendent of Franklin Pierce? Didn't all of his children die before reaching childbearing age?

    Penzler Pick, April 2002: The second novel by Baine Kerr is, like his first, Harmful Intent, a densely plotted thriller with the threads of the story meandering here and there, the author apparently in no hurry to get to the crux of his story. It is a device that, in the hands of a less talented writer, might frustrate the reader, but here it is a pleasure to go along for the ride during which a richly textured story infolds.

    It begins on December 25, 1993, in Laramie, Wyoming. June Mooney, the only female engineer at the train yard, has signed up for duty on Christmas Day because her daughter is with June's ex. Dale Stillwell, a loner, has also signed up for duty. In the middle of a raging blizzard, June is in the trailing cab of a locomotive, steering it through the yard while Dale hangs off the lead engine checking switches and giving the go ahead. As June's engine starts down a line to a spur, an outbound coal train stands in the cutoff. Dale is straining to see through the snow and, as he glimpses the cowcatchers of the coal train close in with 6 inches to spare, he clambers up the rungs of his engine, misses one, loses his hold, and slips between the trains. He is rolled and then dropped with two collapsed lungs, 11 broken bones, and a bolt jammed into his skull. June never saw a thing.

    This story is told by Elliott Stone, the court-appointed conservator for Dale Stillwell in the matter of Stillwell vs. The Western Pacific Railroad. As conservator, Elliott is making sure the financial settlement being hammered out between the lawyers for each side is fair. June is there, but now she's June Stillwell, having married Dale and devoted her life to nursing him. June reminds Elliott of his wife who, two years earlier, died unexpectedly. Elliott doesn't really want this job, but he is persuaded to take the case by Stillwell's doctor, Hans Leitner. Elliott owes Leitner a favor for getting him an appointment in The Hague to join the prosecutor's office at the United Nations criminal tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. The settlement is agreed upon and Elliott can leave for Europe but, as he leaves the courthouse, he overhears Dale Stillwell muttering over and over "I'm going to k-kill her!"

    Two years pass and Elliott returns to discover that June Stillwell is in the Colfax Center for Rehabilitation with other hopeless patients after being brutally attacked in her bed by person or persons unknown and with an object which nobody can identify.

    The stage is set. When a series of deaths occur at the Colfax Center, Elliott is in a unique position to connect the deaths at Colfax with European war crimes--and that connection is shocking. --Otto Penzler

    4 out of 5 stars Full of wit, but no surprises.......2003-07-30

    I loved reading about Helen and her interactions with the White House. Especially entertaining were her descriptions of the Gridiron dinners where she was often portraying first ladies in skits.

    This was a fast read, fun and entertaining. However, it came as no surprise that Nixon had a dark humor, Reagan was always full of hot air and President Jr. and Sr. need to work on their command of the English language. What was great about the book was that it allowed us in to see a very human side of the working White House. I felt a part of the briefings and press conferences.

    After reading the book, I could honestly say that I knew more about the personalities of each president. Just by the tidbits in this book, it seems as though Jimmy Carter and Gerry Ford were the most genuine. Bill Clinton was certainly the most entertaining and sadly, our current president, does not always make the best impression.

    Lighthearted and jovial, Helen entertains us for all 240 pages.

    4 out of 5 stars The Side of Important men Few Get to See.......2003-01-08

    Helen Thomas shares the lighter side of nine presidents and their wives with the people whom do not know them so well. She re-tells jokes and conversations held between herself and nine presidents in her time of being "dean of the White House Press Corps".
    She implies that not all presidents are alike. Every one of them is different. While the chapter on Kennedy was quite humorous, that of Reagan's was less humorous and more about how he handled the press. There are many examples of humor in chpt 1. On page 19 it tells of how on the way to one of the campaign trials, Kennedy had to wear a dark blue suit with brown shoes because black shoes were not packed. After finding out that nobody had an extra pair to lend him and he would have to attend like so, he took it very lightly. He laughed when made a joke out of and found it quite amusing himself.
    Helen Thomas also implies that no matter how serious the job of being president is, they are just regular human beings. Just because they are president does not mean they do not have characteristics of an average man. By giving each and every president a sense of humor with their own little edge added to it, we see that they are regular people who like to laugh and make others laugh here and there. It makes the president's more familiar and relatable to the average man. Everyone can appreciate a little humor and by showing this average man quality in every one of these nine presidents the people find them to be more real, more life-like. Humans are the only animals who can be humorous or have a sense of humor. Dogs cannot laugh at your jokes, and kangaroos do not tell them. Therefore when this trait is put in the spotlight as the defining traits of people whom appear to be larger than life, it humanizes them.
    The author's thesis can be argued. One could easily argue that the presidents are nothing like an average human being and they deserve to be held up to a high standard, and are to be considered the very highest of flawless humans. A big deal was made of President Clinton's flaw, therefore showing that as average people, we have much higher standards for presidents and do not see them as being capable of having characteristics of our friends. Therefore it can be argued that Presidents are not like the rest of us.It can also be argued that maybe the humor that is portrayed is a tool in trying to convince the people that they are their friends. Like the method of campaigning, "I am just like you", they might be trying to make themselves seem to have the same characteristics as the people, but in reality do not. It may be a ploy for support.
    I would recommend this book for the humor and the side of a president's life that we as people critiquing the government hardly ever see. The book was fast paced and very entertaining.

    2 out of 5 stars Was not very funny.......2003-01-08

    This book was a compilation of anecdotes from 40 years of working in the White House. Although I found some stories to be humorous, I enjoyed very little of the book. Although the cute stories humanize our nations presidents, knocking down their "God like" image, I believe that there was no reason behind writing this book besides the fact that she could.
    I found some stories interesting, and I even cracked a smile on a rare occasion, but for the most part, this was just a silly way for Ms. Thomas to get money for a whole lot of who cares. Maybe if I had grown up during the past 40 years she was referring to, I might appreciate it more, but for the younger reader, it offers very little in entertainment.

    3 out of 5 stars Not a lot of wit and barely any wisdom.......2002-12-31

    Much to my chagrin, most of the "memories" within the book are NOT those of Helen Thomas. She compiled various anecdotes from various members of the White House staff and the press corps and threw them together with no overall sense of cohesion (save the chapter division by president).

    I have a beautifully autographed copy of the book and cherish it because I know Helen Thomas has been capable of a lot more "wit and wisdom" in her many years as a journalist than what this book reflects. If you are looking for an endearing memoir of Helen`s time in the White House, this isn`t it. One does not get a feel for how Mrs. Thomas` job has affected her (aside from her usual cantankerous quips which are readily available from other sources), and the "writing" can`t be evaluated as it is simply a bunch of secondary source material strung together by lengthy quotations. In a word, disappointing.

    4 out of 5 stars I liked it.......2002-12-09

    What was going on and said in the White House from where she was standing definitely made for some interesting stories. Well written and intimate.

      5 out of 5 stars MOM: THE GUIDING HAND BEHIND ALL THAT FAME & FORTUNE.......1996-05-18

      MOTHER KNEW BEST is a perfect gift book for mom (Mother's Day, graduation, birthday, anniversaries) because it so compellingly illustrates the profound effect a mother has on a child. From Elvis Presley to Mother Teresa, Colin Powell to Milton Berle, the people about whom the Hornfischers write are carefully chosen -- and unfailingly inspirational.

      Book Description

      For Society's Baby Carriers, Caretakers, And Civilizes… Quips, comfort, and tried-and-true advice await you as you travel along with Barbara Jenkins and contemplate the superb collection of quotations she has gathered from women across the globe. On Careers - The technology takeover in the future will be intimidating unless we remember machines don't laugh, cry, love, nurture, or give birth. Women do. On Spiritual Quests - Life is more than the clothes a woman wears, food she eats, car she drives, career she builds, children she bears, or house she lives in. When a woman searches for God and opens her heart's door, a miraculous thing happens.

      5 out of 5 stars A Surprising Treat.......2000-03-30

      This book is a great find. It's quick reading and you can skip around because the topic of each chapter stands on it's own.

      It's a compilation of quotes from women the author met traveling throughout the U.S. At first, I thought the prespective might be outdated since her journey took place many years ago. However, she has more recenlty updated the book.

      The author covers a good range of topics and resources that I believe will touch on the priorities of most women today. Women from every walk of life and age are quoted and they have alot to share.

      A close friend shared this book with me; now I want my own copy to keep on hand for daily reference. I've found the wisdom offered in this book has been soothing during tough times and inspiring during the better times. It's become a treasured guide for me. Don't miss it!
