money Oprah Says Her 2023 Book Club Pick 'Bittersweet' Will ‘Transform’ Your Life — & It's on Sale For $14
Though the end of February is almost upon us, we’re still at the beginning of the year – the perfect time to change up unhealthy routines, take on new hobbies and change our perspective. In that spirit, our favorite booklover Oprah Winfrey has announced her newest Oprah’s Book Club pick: Bittersweet by Susan Cain.
“Bittersweetness is a tendency to states of longing, poignancy, and sorrow; an acute awareness of passing time; and a curiously piercing joy at the beauty of the world,” reads the book’s official synopsis. “It recognizes that light and dark, birth and death—bitter and sweet—are forever paired.”

For Winfrey, it appears that reading the book was quite life-changing. “It has the power to transform the way you see your life and even the world,” she said in her Feb 15 announcement. “I’ve started to look at my own life in the world differently.”
She also admitted that the book is quite different compared to her other selections in the past. “It’s a different kind of book for Oprah’s book club, one that tackles a really complicated issue for most of us,” she said, adding that the issue is, to put it simply, “how to be happy.”
