Paul Williams is the Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe winning songwriter behind some of the most beloved music in the last 50 years. From “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rainbow Connection” to “An Old Fashioned Love Song” and “Evergreen,” Paul’s songs have touched millions of people and become classics in the world of popular music. Yet, as Paul shares with Oprah in this intimate interview, there was a time when he was losing his way and felt like he was on the outside looking in at the life he had created. Tracey Jackson is a screenwriter and author who has written films like “The Guru” and “Confessions of a Shopaholic” and the book, “Between a Rock and a Hot Place: Why Fifty is Not the New Thirty.” In her search for a better life and more fulfilling work, Tracey discovered the practice of “Transcendental Meditation,” a simple yet powerful technique that changed her life forever.

In this insightful conversation, Oprah sits down with Paul and Tracey to discuss their personal experiences with "Transcendental Meditation." They reveal how they met, their harrowing journeys to rock bottom and how their battle scars gave them the courage to find a new path to happiness. Oprah describes this interview as "one of the most honest, open-hearted and authentic interviews I’ve ever done."
