Barack Obama is Hosting a New Book Podcast

“Great books have always helped me figure out who I am and what I believe.

The six books featured in this series have stayed with me throughout my life, and each one has something to teach us about the human experience.

For this podcast, I invited some friends to explore why they resonate, how they can shape our understanding of ourselves and each other, and why literature matters now more than ever.

I hope listeners will be inspired to discover or rediscover books that change the way they see themselves and the world.”
