On January 1, 2008, Robyn Okrant kicked off a yearlong experiment to live her life completely according to the advice of one of television’s most influential personalities, Oprah Winfrey. Committing whole-heartedly to Oprah’s lifestyle suggestions, this average, 35 year old woman looked to The Oprah Winfrey Show, O, The Oprah Magazine, and Oprah.com to provide the road map for her journey.
Month by month, LIVIING OPRAH chronicles this journey with results that were sometimes fulfilling, sometimes frustrating, but always thought-provoking and highly entertaining. Okrant moved in and out of her comfort zone and challenged her own preconceived ideas, all the while exploring just how much influence any one person, even Oprah, should have on others.
What happens when a thirty-five-year-old average American woman spends one year following every piece of Oprah Winfrey’s advice on how to "live your best life"? Robyn Okrant devoted 2008 to adhering to all of Oprah’s suggestions and guidance delivered via her television show, her Web site, and her magazine. LIVING OPRAH is a month-by-month account of that year.
Some of the challenges included enrollment in Oprah’s Best Life Challenge for physical fitness and weight control, living vegan, and participating in Oprah’s Book Club. After 365 days of LIVING OPRAH, Okrant reflects on the rewards won and lessons learned as well as the tolls exacted by the experiment.
