Book & Review Forums: Words That Matter from O, The Oprah Magazine

what is the point of this? am i missing something?

It seems that every subscription of this book is a quote and it does not go in any depth discussing the quote. What was the point of this book? I find it much more helpful if it discussed the quotes then just give a quote.

  • I also wanted to add one of the quotes: Connecting: Love, Sex, Friendship, and Family

    “If you’re telling yourself that you’re the greatest thing since the iPod but deep down inside you believe you are an eight-track player or the ‘chubby girl’ who couldn’t catch a man with a net and a pack of hunting dogs, then you’re heading for more nights alone than a cloistered nun.”
    —Phil McGraw, psychologist

    No explanation regarding what we should be doing! This sounds more like it is insulting the reader then helping. I thought the point of books written by Oprah is what it would enlighten and explain would you could do to live a better life. I don't know, this whole book has turned me off to anything Oprah.
