CBS THIS MORNING today revealed the cover of the show’s first book. Note to Self: Inspiring Words from Inspiring People features 26 notes from the Emmy-nominated series, where prominent figures write letters to their younger selves. The book includes an introduction from CBS THIS MORNING co-host Gayle King.

 

Since the series began six years ago, CBS THIS MORNING has featured more than 30 notes.

 

The book includes letters from former Vice President Joe Biden, Oprah Winfrey, astronaut Peggy Whitson and more.

 

Vice President Joe Biden: “Dear Joe, you’re only 12. Your stutter is debilitating. It embarrasses you, and the bullies are vicious. But listen to Mom when she says, ‘Bravery resides in every heart, and yours is fierce and clear.’”

 

Oprah Winfrey: “From where I sit now viewing your journey, there really are very few regrets. That means a life well-lived.”

 

Astronaut Peggy Whitson: “I’ll just say: Challenge yourself. You will learn that you are so much more capable than you might imagine or even dream. Sincerely, the Older You.”

 

The book will be published by Simon & Schuster, a division of CBS. It goes on sale in May.
