When is The Light We Carry coming out?

Michelle Obama’s highly anticipated new book is slated for release on November 15, 2022.

According to their book’s official website, The Light We Carry aims to “share practical wisdom and powerful strategies for staying hopeful and balanced in today’s highly uncertain world.”

The Princeton and Harvard Law graduate took to Instagram on July 21, 2022 to announce the book, in which she talks about marriage, parenting, mental health and more.

“Like so many of you, I’ve spent a lot of time over the last few years thinking about how to center myself in a world filled with uncertainty,” she wrote in the post.

“This reflection process has actually got me started writing again – and today I couldn’t be more excited to tell you about my new book, The Light We Carry, which is due out on May 15th.

“This book is a collection of stories and practices that have helped me organize all of the challenges and questions that keep us up at night: How do I know I’m good enough? How do I bring my whole self to the table? How can I overcome my fears?”

“I never thought I would be the author of one book, let alone two. But I have found that writing this book has been a way for me to gather my thoughts and find more clarity during this time. So I hope this book means as much to you as it does to me.”

Michelle will also embark on a six-city tour starting the day her book is published, she revealed to Good Morning America in September.

She is expected to visit Washington, DC, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles – where her two daughters, Malia and Sasha, currently live.
