“I’ve learned it’s okay to recognize that self-worth comes wrapped in vulnerability and that what we share as humans on this earth is the impulse to strive for better, always and no matter what,” the introduction read.

“We become bolder in brightness,” Obama continued. “If you know your light, you know yourself. You know your own story in an honest way. In my experience, this type of self-knowledge builds confidence, which in turn breeds calmness and an ability to maintain perspective, which leads, finally, to being able to connect meaningfully with others — and this to me is the bedrock of all things.”

Her book is set to be published by Random House. In a statement, the publishers said the publication would be released in 14 languages.

The initial printing of The Light We Carry will contain around 2.57 million copies.
