Publisher Description
In this New York Times bestseller, Gayle King collects her favorite inspiring letters from the popular CBS This Morning segment Note to Self, in which twenty-first century luminaries pen advice and encouragement to the young people they once were.
What do Congressman John Lewis, Dr. Ruth, and Kermit the Frog wish they could tell their younger selves? What about a gay NFL player or the most successful female race car driver?
In Note to Self, CBS This Morning cohost Gayle King shares some of the most memorable letters from the broadcast’s popular segment of the same name. With essays from such varied figures as Oprah, Vice President Joe Biden, Chelsea Handler, and Maya Angelou—as well as poignant words from a Newtown father and a military widow—Note to Self is a moving reflection on the joys and challenges of growing up and a perfect gift for any occasion.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Inspiration abounds in Gayle King’s sparkling collection of letters written by cultural icons to their past selves. Culled from her popular CBS This Morning segment, Note to Self features successful athletes, politicians, artists, and even Kermit the Frog sharing hard-won wisdom and revealing their deepest secrets: struggles with sexuality, career uncertainty, and crushing grief. For those in a rough emotional patch—or anyone simply in need of a quick mood-lifter—King’s anthology is a deeply comforting reminder that life can get better.
