Making The Wisdom of Sundays
The challenge for this book was finding artwork that could do the Super Soul Sunday conversations justice without feeling corny or old hat. To do that we turned to Los Angeles-based photographer Melissa Gidney who was invited to tour Oprah’s private property in California, where Super Soul Sunday is filmed, to take some stunning original shots. We also wanted to imbue the book with a keepsake kind of feel which included a fabric-wrapped cover and uncoated paper stock meant to inspire the reader to live a life full of love, forgiveness, gratitude, and intention.
The result was another #1 New York Times bestseller and a book that has inspired thousands of people around the world to think and live more mindfully.
We also created a deluxe edition of The Wisdom of Sundays, accompanied by The Wisdom Journal, which readers can use to collect their own aha moments. Both the journal and the book are packaged together in a beautiful slipcase.
