Great book to establish structured spiritual practices. It almost felt like I was reading an instruction manual on harnessing my faith and centering myself. Definitely a good read - especially if you are exploring ways to approach ritual & religion outside the structure of a church or temple

This book changed my life.

Very good book. I was especially interested to find out why this book was specifically addressed to black women. I found that for the most part it's for all women. I was captured by each chapter and really didn't want to put it down but paced myself so that I could take it all in. I am going to go back to the chapter on forgiveness and do what she suggests. It can't hurt. Fabulous job on this one. Highly recommend as she has great insight and stories that we all can learn and take away from. Very good book.

A practical reminder of how we all live a spiritual life every day. This book was written by Iyanla Vanzant, who is a Yoruba priestess and an ordained minister in Christian New Thought. I found the book very easy to read, and her tone was informal and inspirational. She is basically a human just like the rest of us, who has had unique experiences throughout her life that have shaped her spiritual beliefs and general attitude.

I came away with renewed determination and vigour, and I admire Vanzant for her frank accounts of life in describing how other people can learn to help themselves to be happier and more fulfilled.

This a book to read for personal development and it is also a workbook, with techniques and exercises to apply to your own life, so you have to apply the ideas and then go back to the book and reread the specific chapter to see if you have understood the principles. It is abook to which I will refer often in a hope to master the changes I want to make in my life. I recommend it!

Whatever ails you starts and ends with you. It's a hard pill to swallow, but taking it requires one to look at oneself and examine why you are in the situation you are in? I also enjoyed the CD that comes wtih the book, and the book referred me to Byron Katie's "Loving What Is", because I love Katie's car analogy on what to do with your grown children. Sorry folks, I can't give it away: you have to read the bookS (capitol "S" intended) and enjoy the point yourselves! Happy reading and self-refle Whatever ails you starts and ends with you.

I just saw her on Tavis Smiley last night. I read "One Day My Soul Just Opened Up" about 10 years ago (a gift from a friend -- I finished most of it I think...) and would enjoy reading her again. Or maybe this is just like "The Secret," which was FLYING off the shelves when I worked at a big name chain bookstore in Indy. :) I just saw her on Tavis Smiley last night.

This book didn't teach me how to meditate, but I did find it empowering. I had to try some other methods to feel like I understood meditation. Now, my favorite form is practicing Tai Chi.

So many of us are unaware that we possess power within us. In this book, through her personal views, Iyanla shows us how to know it is there and how to "activate" it.

Edie Schumacher cowan –
Great book for starting a spiritual practice I have followed Iyanla for many years, before she was on Oprah even. This is the anniversary edition of her first book which I hadn’t read. I have personally struggled putting in place a spiritual practice but this book lays out the many ways and the reasons why of having one. Iyanla is a great teacher, using stories of her own experiences for greater understanding. I highly recommend this book to anyone.
marion jennette –
Fantastic Another brilliant read, really interesting book, Iyanla talks openly about her life. I always enjoy her honesty when she writes, inspirational and some good tools to support you on a spiritual journey.

I read this book years ago, and often return to it from time to time. Definitely something you should purchase and keep. Now that books are downloadable, this is definitely something to keep in your collection.

Interesting Read This book allowed me to learn about Ms. Vanzant and also opened my mind up about my own spirituality. It took me longer to read than I expected but overall was a good read.
