An extraordinary truth about what is important in life.
I was so deeply moved to tears about every three pages. I read this book within a two-week period. Parts of it were too much to bear in one sitting.

The truths were so hard but oh so necessary. I found such comfort and renewed strength to get through my recent heartbreak. I am a very strong, highly-educated and intelligent woman. I turned to this book for help and that is exactly what I got. Love, comfort, understanding, and a shot of hope and acceptance. There will be light soon for me. It is a process that requires work and trust in myself and in God. I am personally not as religious as I was raised but I do believe in God and I have great faith in human kindness.

I am keeping this book close to my bedside in case I feel I have an unexpected need in the middle of the night when I am the most afraid and my fears surround me. Thank you for this book of wisdom and love. We are all human beings. We are so needy of what is so important in this life-love and kindness.

I admit that meantime experiences are awful and so painful. But to know that they are a necessary step to get somewhere so beautiful and peaceful, it must be worth it. Understanding what is happening in one's progression through life's journey will help make it an easier road to travel, with its richness and losses. My life is full of great passion for living and loving.

Now, I am working on moving to the third level of the house and eventually to the Attic. In the Meantime gave me the tools and now the rest is up to me. But I now know that I am not alone. I am not alone with the kind of feelings I have had and I am worthy of true love. We all are! A must read for anyone who is hurting in their life and can't seem to get a handle on it.

If you don't want to continue with the same patterns of behavior, read this book now. And, then, read it again. Thank You Iyanla for having the insight and determination to really help others. May you always be happy and stay high above the house-in the Attic. I hope to join you there soon!

OUTSTANDING!
I am a middle-aged, gay, male reader who found this book a few months after the painful end of a six-year, unrequited love affair. Throughout the book I kept encountering so many keen insights that I finally resorted to reading with a yellow highligher pen to mark the passages. Again and again Vanzant precisely describes things that ring so true for me and my struggles with relationships and self esteem, self love. I have read many self-help books over the years, but have never encountered one with so much understanding, compassion and truth about the human heart. This is one of the most helpful books I have ever read. I am tremendously impressed with the wisdom Vanzant has gleaned from her life's experiences. And she's funny, too. It's a great read.

Excellent
I have recently separated from my wife. I found this book to be very inspiring. I learned a great deal from this book and even more from "One Day my Soul Just Woke Up," by the same author. I recommend this book to anyone and everyone. Easy to understand an read.
