About this audiobook

In this updated edition, Gayle King introduces brand new notes from: Tracy Morgan, Heather Duckworth, Adam Rippon, François Clemmons, Tammy Duckworth, Alexis Ohanian, and Alex Honnold!

Gayle King shares her favorite inspiring letters from the popular CBS This Morning segment Note to Self, in which twenty-first century luminaries pen advice and encouragement to the young people they once were.

What do Congressman John Lewis, Dr. Ruth, and Kermit the Frog wish they could tell their younger selves? What about a gay NFL player or the most successful female racecar driver? In Note to Self, CBS This Morning cohost Gayle King shares some of the most memorable letters from the broadcast’s popular segment of the same name. Including essays from such varied figures as Vice President Joe Biden, Oprah, Russell Brand, Kesha, and Maya Angelou—as well as poignant words from a Newtown father and a military widow—Note to Self is a lovely reflection on the joys and challenges of growing up and a perfect gift for any occasion.

    there was so many things I love about this book! I love the contributor variency, the gut-wrenching vulnerability and honesty. It took a lot of Courage to write these letters and it gave me the confidence to try writing one of my own.

    A compilation of inspiring stories from those we admire. Their stories are real, vulnerable and create many moments for ourselves as they did for their younger selves.

    I loved this audio book , the best part was the audio book I listened to had all the words read by the writer and I felt more connected to hear the words come out the person who wrote them .
    If is a series of letter written to younger version of themselves and what they want to say to them .
    It was beautiful and personal and I do recommend it .

    it's really more like press releases than truthful letters to the past.

    A book that unifies us, hearing other people's stories and connecting with them made me realise not only how not so different we all are but how we all fight to make our dreams come true and to live an impact in our own way.

    This was SUCH an amazing compilation of notes to younger selves from some high profile names. I never knew half of these backgrounds and it's so refreshing to be reminded that the people you see in the lime light are people just like me and you, who have had their own trials and tribulations. Some of these stories moved me to tears. I am grateful for having come across this short story collection

    Loved this audio book. It’s amazing how we are so alike as human beings. Everything has struggles. The only difference is what we do with what life throws at us.

    It’s a perfect book to be inspired to keep at it (life and conquering). Loved being able to look into the window of world renown’s and take on a new quote that resonates.
