Whoopi Goldberg’s non-fiction books reflect the range of her interests and public persona. Whoopi’s Big Book of Manners (2006) was aimed at children but addressed themes of courtesy and social behavior. Is It Just Me?: Or Is It Nuts Out There? (2010) was a more adult-oriented commentary on American life and culture, written in the direct, comedic style associated with Goldberg’s public appearances.
Later books continued in a similar vein. If Someone Says “You Complete Me,” RUN! (2015) addressed relationships and self-sufficiency, while The Unqualified Hostess (2019) covered entertaining and hospitality with characteristic irreverence. Two Old Broads (2022), co-written with Dr. Sheila Weller, addressed aging and women’s experiences in midlife. Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother, and Me (2024) is a more personal memoir focusing on her family.
Across these books, Goldberg writes with the frankness and humor of her television work, making her non-fiction accessible to readers who follow her as a cultural commentator rather than primarily as a fiction reader.
