Did Tuchy pick Oprah because he is a fan?, Or Did Tuchy pick Oprah for other reasons?

Oprah was picked for other reasons.

First
Oprah has a large following, we all know that.

Second                                                                                                              Oprah has helped millions of people in one way or another.

Third

Oprah has produced many quotes that are filled with wisdom; that can  inspire, motivate, and heal.

Tuchy's objective was to take Oprah's words and personalize them for people. This was done by creating affirmations for people to use. A question or comment is posed that encourages the reader to ponder and integrate the thoughts into her thinking.  Finally a suggested action was given to encourage the reader to make Oprah's words an important and powerful part of her life.

The Bottom-line is to use Oprah's words to further help people in their struggles in life

Some examples from then Book  “Oprah In Her Own Words”

Oprah Winfrey--“Before you agree to do anything that might add even the smallest amount of stress to your life, ask yourself: What is my true st intention? Give yourself time to let a ‘yes’ resound within you.  When it's right, I guarantee that your entire body will feel it.”
