BECOMING: Meine Geschichte (German Edition) Kindle Edition

Die kraftvolle und inspirierende Autobiografie der ehemaligen First Lady der USA

Michelle Obama ist eine der überzeugendsten und beeindruckendsten Frauen der Gegenwart. Als erste afro-amerikanische First Lady der USA trug sie maßgeblich dazu bei, das gastfreundlichste und offenste Weiße Haus zu schaffen, das es je gab. Sie wurde zu einer energischen Fürsprecherin für die Rechte von Frauen und Mädchen in der ganzen Welt, setzte sich für einen dringend notwendigen gesellschaftlichen Wandel hin zu einem gesünderen und aktiveren Leben ein und stärkte außerdem ihrem Ehemann den Rücken, während dieser die USA durch einige der schmerzlichsten Momente des Landes führte. Ganz nebenbei zeigte sie uns noch ein paar lässige Dance-Moves, glänzte beim „Carpool Karaoke“ und schaffte es obendrein auch, zwei bodenständige Töchter zu erziehen – mitten im gnadenlosen Blitzlichtgewitter der Medien.

In diesem Buch erzählt sie nun erstmals ihre Geschichte – in ihren eigenen Worten und auf ihre ganz eigene Art. Sie nimmt uns mit in ihre Welt und berichtet von all den Erfahrungen, die sie zu der starken Frau gemacht haben, die sie heute ist. Warmherzig, weise und unverblümt erzählt sie von ihrer Kindheit an der Chicagoer South Side, von den Jahren als Anwältin und leitende Angestellte, von der nicht immer einfachen Zeit als berufstätige Mutter sowie von ihrem Leben an Baracks Seite und dem Leben ihrer Familie im Weißen Haus. Gnadenlos ehrlich und voller Esprit schreibt sie sowohl über große Erfolge als auch über bittere Enttäuschungen, den privaten wie den öffentlichen. Dieses Buch ist mehr als eine Autobiografie. Es enthält die ungewöhnlich intimen Erinnerungen einer Frau mit Herz und Substanz, deren Geschichte uns zeigt, wie wichtig es ist, seiner eigenen Stimme zu folgen.

    I enjoyed listening to this book. Hearing the First Lady speak her truths and being light to her side of the story was refreshing and educational. I learned so many things about her and what it was like to be the First Lady. I was often googling to see pictures from times she was talking about or nodding along remembering. I felt this book was well written and moving. Highly recommend.

    I'm enjoying the book so far. It's interesting to me. Yesterday I see it too visit the childhood home where she grew up. I also plan to visit the condo she and POTUS lined in as well as the house in kenwood/hyde park, as I do live rather close to both. I'm sure I've driven by both on several occasions.

    Amazing to see and read about someone from where I'm from , go on to the Greatness of Michelle Obama. She's from the Southside of Chicago, I'm from the Westside,

    I'll complete my review when I'm done listening.

    I have the book on Audible, but also plan to purchase hard copy.

    I am reviewing the German audio version of the book.
    The German speaker has a beautiful and clear voice. I am enjoying learning about Michelle Obama and improving my intermediate German at the same time.

    This book is an excellent piece of work. This book will enlighten the clueless and inform those who had an idea. Former FL Obama, once again, had displayed genuinity with intellect and class. As an added bonus, I recommend the audible.

    I loved her story. I am so glad the audible was her voice. It made me feel like she was a friend chatting with me or telling me a story.

    Reviewed in Germany on June 3, 2024
    Absolute Empfehlung für dieses Buch.
    Michele Obama gibt tiefe Einblicke in ihre Lebensgeschichte. Angefangen mit ihrer Kindheit über das Studium, den beruflichen Werdegang, das gemeinsame Leben als Familie mit einem (Barack Obama) Präsidenten der vereinigten Staaten von Amerika bis hin zum Auszug aus dem Weißen Haus. Der Leser erfährt von ihren Problemen/Schwierigkeiten als Mensch mit dunkler Hautfarbe. Sie hat sich nie entmutigen lassen, sondern hat ihr Leben angepackt und das auch sehr erfolgreich.
    Fazit: alles ist möglich, man muss es nur wollen!
    Das Buch ist sicherlich in einfache Sprache geschrieben, läßt sich aber sehr gut lesen.

    Reviewed in Germany on June 19, 2021
    Gutes Buch, sie erzählt sehr interessant ihre Geschichte. Wir erfahren viel über sie, Barak Obama u das Leben im weißen Haus.
    Leider zieht es sich zum Schluss ziemlich, als müsste sie noch unbedingt 50 Seiten dazu schreiben.
    Ist nicht so politisch geschrieben wie das Buch von Barak obama
