Everyone has a purpose. And, according to Oprah Winfrey, “Your real job in life is to figure out as soon as possible what that is, who you are meant to be, and begin to honor your calling in the best way possible.”

That journey starts right here.

In her latest audiobook, The Path Made Clear, Oprah shares what she sees as a guide for activating your deepest vision of yourself, offering the framework for creating not just a life of success, but one of significance. The audiobook’s ten chapters are organized to help you recognize the important milestones along the road to self-discovery, laying out what you really need in order to achieve personal contentment, and what life’s detours are there to teach us.

Oprah opens each chapter by sharing her own key lessons and the personal stories that helped set the course for her best life. She then brings together wisdom and insights from luminaries in a wide array of fields, inspiring listeners to consider what they’re meant to do in the world and how to pursue it with passion and focus. These renowned figures share the greatest lessons from their own journeys toward a life filled with purpose.

The Path Made Clear provides listeners with a valuable resource for achieving a life lived in service of your calling—whatever it may be.

"If you're someone who can't get enough of Oprah's wisdom, this audiobook is for you." -BuzzFeed News

Great Life Lessons

Loved it. This book allowed me to open my mind to the simpliest things about life. Im about to listen to these lessons again.

Always inspiring

This book was not quite as powerful as I expected coming from Oprah. However, it is still a very inspiring. I was able to take away valuable information.

Good motivational stories, but little disconnected

The book is based on many inspirational stories and motivates listeners to be faithful and passionate about life's direction and purpose. I like it from the inspirational perspective, but I can't help but notice that Oprah is quite disconnected or distant from average day to day struggles of people. Although inspirational, all stories are from celebrities or successful people, Yes, they had their own share of struggles to get to the place where they are in life, but it seems less practical.

It’s a kind and sobering book.

It’s my second time listening to it- it’s a great reminder of purpose. We are all here to contribute something, and this audio book brings that truth to the surface. I will likely keep listening to it several times more!

Exactly what I needed

This book is very inspiring and exactly what I needed right now as I’m working on my purpose. Thank you Oprah!

Inspiring!

Great and inspiring book...thanks, Oprah & team! My path definitely seems much clearer now :)

Motivation to become a better person and find your purpose

If you want to find a way to improve your life please read this book. It helps you understand how to be a better person and how to find out who you are and where you want to be in life. The saying is true…surround yourself with people who will encourage you to become who you want to be. Or in other words…who you’re meant to be.

Wow!

Truly inspiring, life changing book. Oprah’ reading just adds to the beauty and magic of this book.
