<p>From Oprah Winfrey to Shonda Rhimes: The five books by these authors are real must-reads for anyone who hasn&#39;t read them yet.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Whether on holiday on the beach, at home on the balcony or in front of the fireplace in winter: <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/summer-book-list-novels-memoirs-reading-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reading</a> is a wonderful leisure activity to relax and recharge your energy reserves. Simply immerse yourself briefly in another world and do nothing other than follow the words and lines... This is real quality time for all reading fans.</span> <b>It's a good thing that the world is full of great books. Because books not only bring joy, but can also inspire us, give us courage and teach us something about life.</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">This top five is exactly about books like this. These are books by strong women who share the messages they care about with the world and thereby enrich it.</span></p>

<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">These are the books by female authors that are on our reading list</span></h3>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Michelle Obama, Becoming - My Story</span></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Becoming, Michelle Obama's autobiography, provides <strong>surprisingly honest and personal insights into the history and career of the former First Lady.</strong> Thoughts about life, finding her own path, and memories of her childhood are woven together to create a book that encourages women to believe in themselves and follow their hearts.</span></p>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Edith Eger, The Gift - 12 lessons for a better life</span></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dr. Edith Eger is an American psychologist with Hungarian roots. As the daughter of Hungarian Jews, she ended up in Auschwitz at the time of the Holocaust - and survived. <strong>In her book The Gift, 12 Lessons for a Better Life, she encourages others to never give up hope, even in the face of life's greatest challenges.</strong> Her message: Every day, every moment is a gift and it is up to us to recognise this.</span></p>

Sometimes all you need is a few inspiring words to gain a new perspective.

<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oprah Winfrey, What I've Learned from Life</span></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The name Oprah Winfrey stands for itself. The American presenter and entrepreneur is an idol for women around the world. <strong>Her book What I have learned from life is a collection of texts and reflections on specific topics: from gratitude to joy or clarity.</strong> For years, Oprah wrote the column What I Know for Sure - this book was based on that. Not a book that only revolves around one topic, but rather one that stimulates reflection and new insights: <strong>life is in our hands, we just have to be willing to recognise that.</strong></span></p>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sheryl Sandberg, Lean In - Women and the Will to Success</span></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Women in key leadership positions are still far too rare. Sheryl Sandberg is the former COO of Meta Platforms and is therefore a role model for women who have big goals in business and leadership. That is exactly <strong>the intention of the book: to encourage women to follow their dreams and show how they can achieve their goals.</strong></span></p>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shonda Rhimes, The Yes Experiment</span></h4>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Shona Rhimes is world-renowned as an incredibly talented and successful producer and screenwriter. Grey's Anatomy and <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/culture/everything-we-know-about-bridgerton-season-3-cast-plot-details-trailer-netflix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bridgerton</a> - to name just two top series that are under their belt. In her private life, however, Shonda is reserved and introverted, which is why she says no to a lot of things . One day, after an aha moment, she decides to do an experiment: just say yes to everything that she would otherwise always say no to. <strong>The book tells of the experiences and insights she gained from leaving her comfort zone.</strong></span></p>
