Super Soul Special: Anne Lamott: Three Prayers for Challenging Times
Original Air Date: November 7th, 2018
New York Times best-selling author, public speaker and writing teacher Anne Lamott discusses what she says are the three types of prayers that can help anyone through challenging times. Anne says it's easy to thank God when life is going well, but when times get tough, she says feelings of anger or complete silence can also act as prayer. Anne believes as long you’re telling the truth of your heart, prayer can take on many forms. Anne talks about her book "Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and Repair." The book is a humorous and profoundly moving meditation on the search for meaning and how we can make the wounded parts of ourselves whole again, stitch by stitch. Anne also opens up about her own recovery from addiction and her ongoing commitment to appreciate the sacred in everyday life.

Super Soul Special: Dr. BJ Miller: How to Die
Original Air Date: November 12th, 2018
Dr. BJ Miller is a hospice and palliative care specialist who treats patients with life-altering and terminal illnesses at the University of California in San Francisco. Dr. Miller shares his revelations about a subject that is often taboo in our culture: the experience of death. He describes the moment after a person's death and explains why it is both sacred and unknowable. While a sophomore in college, Dr. Miller suffered a devastating electrical shock throughout his body. He lost half his arm and both his legs below the knee. He talks about how this earth-shattering experience proved to be a spiritual wake-up call and how it left him with an extraordinary sense of what it means to confront death. Dr. Miller discusses why he thinks it’s time for us to rethink the idea that “death is inherently horrible.” He also reveals what he's learned about regret by experiencing “vicarious deathbed moments” in his practice. Dr. Miller’s book is titled “A Beginner’s Guide to the End.”

Customer Reviews
Love these conversations!
Thank you for sharing these conversations Oprah! Especially loved the ones with Viola Davis and Gabor Maté
Thank you Oprah I’m No longer a victim but a survivor
A Canadian girl of 17, it was 1991 a new mother of identical twin boys now at home and desperately looking for advice on… oh well LIFE!! Now what 🤷🏼♀️. And there she was … on her very own talk show Oprah, A woman who didn't know it, but was going to become my savior. Through out the years. I learned so much from her. From fashion to human rights infractions and everything in between. I even felt the joy those deserving Studio audience members felt when she gave them new cars, including jumping up and down lol with excitement knowing what that car meant to them. Even when i went back to finish high school then collage to employment I didn’t miss a show, Went from tapes to disks lol. When life happened I’d find myself wondering. What advice would Oprah or Maya Angelo give me right now. Well It took awhile but the day my beautiful ten year old daughter ( my sons had moved out to start their wonderful adult lives the BEST SONS EVER) saw her father, my ex of 14 years,strangle me, (found out a few days later he had actually strangled me five times that night.I’ve realized I block it out) was the day we left and never looked back. It was two years running from shelter to shelter to stay safe and find a new town to call home. It was hard the worst was watching our daughter putting on a smile to try to help by saying “mom I’m ok, as long as I’m with you”😞 to this day I have stayed single to give her all the attention she deserves, she’s now 18 finishing high school, wanting to get into law enforcement to become a detective, she has a wonderful boyfriend of 3 years, who treats her so well. She sometimes struggles she went through a lot but she is Such an amazing young women who deserve the WORLD. when I’d look back and remembered the lessons I learned from Oprah over the years. I’d remember I didn’t have to be a victim but I could be a survivor but when I introduced myself I didn’t need to start out with I’m a survivor of DA but I could work hard go back to school and say… I’m a mother of three AMAZING children who now helps DA Victims become SURVIVORS.!! Thank you Oprah You change lives Never Forget that ♥️♥️♥️🇨🇦🌎
Marie Forleo
Usually love this channel, but the Marie a Forleo episode was ridiculous. She screeched and squealed and the story was so hokey. It reeked of her privilege and better than everyone attitude. So you almost didn’t make it to Barcelona? Waaah poor rich girl. Worst episode ever
