It would be easy to assume that Michelle Obama doesn't struggle with self-doubt. However, the best-selling author of Becoming has revealed that, before the release of her book, she regularly doubted herself.

Writing in The Sunday Times, Obama revealed, "I’m proud of this book, truly, because of what it means to me. And hopefully, what it will mean to you." She continued, "I knew from the outset that if I was going to write a memoir, it had to include more than the shade of blue I chose for a china pattern or who was or wasn’t invited to a State Dinner. ... This isn’t to say any of this was easy. Particularly the experience of baring this truest version of myself for the entire world to accept or leave behind."
