The Light We Carry: Overcoming in Uncertain Times is a nonfiction book written by Michelle Obama and published on November 15, 2022, by Crown Publishing. According to the Associated Press, the author "shares the contents of her 'personal toolbox' - the habits and practices, attitudes and beliefs, and even physical objects that she uses to overcome her feelings of fear, helplessness and self-doubt."

In February 2023, it was announced that a podcast series by Obama based on topics in the book and the live book tour called Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast was released on March 7 by Audible. [5]
