Narrado por: Hoda Kotb

From New York Times bestselling author and beloved Today show coanchor Hoda Kotb, an “inspirational page-turner” (Daily News, New York) about people who find their life’s purpose in unexpected ways, often surprising themselves and their loved ones.

Are you where you belong? Many of us wonder. We float around in the half-empty glass, gaze out into the world of possibilities, and wonder if we should get off our raft and climb out. Maybe even today you asked yourself: Is it too late to do that thing that made me so happy when I was young? Could what matters most to me finally be the center of my life? Can I really trust this yearning voice in my head and longing in my heart?

In Where We Belong, Hoda Kotb explores the challenging journeys of people who found their true calling in life by following their passions, their gut, and their heart. The compelling stories include an investment banker who became a minister after years of working on Wall Street, a young woman from a blue-collar background whose passion took her to Harvard Medical School, a high-powered PR executive who was drawn to a unique close-knit community, and a once “no-kids” guy who now helps children all over the world. Hoda also interviews celebrities, such as producer Mark Burnett and actress/producer Roma Downey, comedienne Margaret Cho, and former boxer Laila Ali, all who’ve pursued their passions to fulfill their dreams. The stories told provide examples of perseverance, self-reflection, and new attitudes on life making Where We Belong a motivating guide to finding the right path for your personal journey.

The stories were great. I noted that those with faith in religion- and not those advertised as celebrities- got the most airtime. I did not know the author before buying - so this may be an obvious link for others.

Nice Little Read

Love Hoda Kotb because of her optimism and strength of character. I admired her grace and the manner in which she supported Kathie Lee Gifford during her time of deep mourning when Frank Gifford died so unexpectedly. So when I saw that Hoda had released this book I immediately purchased it.

I was disappointed. However I should have read about it's content first. It is a selection of five or so stories read beautifully by Hoda herself. These stories are about people, some who have a modicum of celebrity, all who have gone through major life changes. I would call this an 'Opray Life Aha' type of a book.

Not my 'cup of tea' but still really admire Ms. Kotb and look forward to her next book because maybe the next one will be more to my liking. I have no doubt whatsoever that many people will find this book a winner

Thanks Hoda

Thanks for the inspiration!!! I needed a reminder that I am exactly where I belong.

Am I Where I Belong? Great Question!

Am I where I belong? I don't know . . . And if that's that's true, then the real answer is probably not. This book encourages us to not only ask the question, but to realize it's never too late to move in the direction of our dreams. Absolutely loved the definition of vocation toward the end! That nugget alone was worth the read.

Somewhat boring and mundane

What did you like best about Where We Belong? What did you like least?

I liked that it showed us that we are where we belong on our life's journey and that we should embrace that, however, I think the stories could have been shorter, more concise.

Would you be willing to try another book from Hoda Kotb? Why or why not?

Probably not.

What three words best describe Hoda Kotb’s voice?

Somewhat monotone.

Could you see Where We Belong being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

NO

Where we belong

I was expecting more about Hoda's journey and strength gained along the journey. It was about others more than I would have expected. I would give it a 4, 1 out of 10.

I love Hoda but this was Boringggggg!!

Took months to finish listening. Boring. Not inspirational as hoped. Love Hoda but unfortunately this wasn't worthwhile.
