““Becoming” is an autobiography detailing the highs and lows of Michelle Obama’s incredible
journey from humble beginnings in the less glamourous South Side of Chicago, to the
grandeur of the White House and life as America’s first African-American First Lady. It takes
the reader seamlessly through three distinct phases of her life, “Becoming me, becoming us
and becoming more.” It is not meant as an overt leadership text, but her memoirs are packed
with parallels for leading in everyday situations and not just for those in assigned leadership
roles. That book was written by Michelle Obama and it has published first time on 13 November 2018. It has sold 3 million exemplars and translated to 32 languages and in 10 months it has been the most prestige book on “Amazon.com”.”
“The memoir is divided into three sections: Becoming Me, Becoming Us, and Becoming More. The first part of the book is a detailed, often sociological examination of Chicago and its people and organizations. Its comprehensive study of gentrification, public education, race, and class highlights the fact that Obama studied sociology and African American studies at Princeton University. Becoming Us, the second portion, is a romp through her courtship with Barack Obama, starting a family with him, and her search for meaningful work. "As soon as I allowed myself to feel anything for Barack, the feelings came rushing — a toppling blast of lust, gratitude, fulfillment, and wonder," she writes, "as soon as I allowed myself to feel anything for Barack, the feelings came rushing — a toppling blast of lust, gratitude, fulfillment, and wonder." Becoming More, the final portion, explores their lives as public personalities. It includes her personal reflections on her legacy and accomplishments as first lady, as well as what it was like to live under such close scrutiny. She adds that she felt "haunted" by the ways she'd been insulted and by individuals who had formed judgments about her based on her pale skin during campaigning for her husband's reelection in 2012.
In terms of her effect on Barack Obama's programs and objectives, there's no evidence that she tried to sway choices or acted as an informal adviser. Instead, family time became precious, and international issues were put on the back burner in favor of middle school stories. He had his briefing books and she had hers after their family dinners.
To sum up, her book, which comes out a week after the midterm elections, will stoke debate among Democrats as they choose a standard-bearer for the general election in 2020. "I've never been a fan of politics, and my experience over the last ten years has done little to change that," she says of calls for her to run for government. The nastiness continues to irritate me."”
