Oprah remembers her controversial 1997 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, which at the time brought Oprah the most hate mail she'd ever received. She also discusses a bedrock belief: Anyone pretending to be something that they're not will never become all that they were meant to be.

Lesson 10: Joy Rising (Flash Mob) Every Friday, Oprah wants to bring you a little bit of joy.

One of the biggest issues for Oprah—and so many of us—is holding on to the hurt or the pain of what happened years ago. In this class, see how five sisters entrenched in a bitter feud managed to move on. The sooner you can let go of the past, the sooner you can get on with the now.

Of all the lessons Oprah's learned in her life, this one may be at the very top of the list. As Maya Angelou explains, people know themselves much better than you do. That's why it's important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are.
