Oprah Winfrey is taking a self-help show on the road. The talk-show host and chief of the OWN television network will visit eight cities this fall for a two-day arena event called Oprah’s ‘‘The Life You Want Weekend”.
The 60-year-old will go onstage on a Friday night in each city. The next day, a circle of personalities she has featured on the OWN network and her talk show over the years will join in.
OWN personality Iyanla Vanzant, “Eat, Pray, Love” author Elizabeth Gilbert and Pastor Rob Bell are among the people who will join the tour for each weekend, with author Deepak Chopra an occasional guest.
Organisers said on Wednesday the first stop will be in Atlanta on the first weekend of September.
Although tickets to the show run on the high end starting at US$99 and peaking at US$999 for a chance to meet the self-help guru herself.
Oprah explained to The Hollywood Reporter: ‘‘It’s about living the life you want, because a great percentage of the population is living a life that their mother wanted, that their husband wanted, that they thought or heard they wanted.’’
Meanwhile, Oprah’s latest book project is a collection of magazine columns by a writer she knows quite well — Oprah Winfrey.
What I Know for Sure features the monthly essays that Winfrey has written for O, the Oprah Magazine over the past 14 years.
Flatiron Books, a new non-fiction imprint of Macmillan, announced on Wednesday that what I know for sure will come out September 2. It will be the imprint’s first release.
According to Flatiron, the book will be organised around such themes as joy, gratitude and possibility. Winfrey has said she named her column What I Know for Sure after film critic Gene Siskel asked her ‘‘What do you know for sure?’’ during an interview. She has called the columns a way of ‘‘taking stock’’ of her life.
Winfrey will write the book’s introduction. - Dailymail.
