Review:

"This slender inspirational book is a candid self-portrait of a woman in transition. A longtime NBC anchorwoman, Shriver was thrown into a tailspin when asked to resign after her husband, Arnold Schwarzenegger, was elected governor of California; she writes, 'My career was gone, and with it went the person I'd been for twenty-five years.' With a combination of self-deprecation and chutzpah, Shriver describes herself as the consummate overachiever, a 'people-pleasing, legacy-carrying, perfection-seeking Good Girl,' now realizing that 'asking ourselves not just what we want to be but who we want to be is important at every stage in our lives, not just when we're starting out in the world. That's because, in a way, we're starting out fresh in the world every single day.' Reprinted in full in this book is the speech Shriver made at her nephew's high school graduation — a humorous meditation on fame, achievement and self-worth — that inspired the writing of this book. Shriver's earnest self-inquiry and her humility and readiness to regard herself as a 50-year-old work-in-progress make for a charming and genuinely inspiring read." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

Synopsis:

From the First Lady of California and bestselling author of "What's Heaven?" comes a lovely, inspiring book for readers on how to live a full life when faced with the challenges of figuring out just who they will be. Photos.

I saw Maria today on Oprah. I believe this is a very motivational book. She lost herself after marrying Arnold and lost her job on NBC, due to what they considered a conflict in interest. She shares honestly and openly. About who you are, not what you do or have accomplished.
