Summary: By far the most phenomenal book I've ever read!
Review: Iyanla Vanzant is not only my favorite writer, but she is one of my greatest inspirations in life. I've read nearly all of her books, all of which were amazing. "One Day My Soul Just Opened Up" is especially life-changing because it takes you through exercises and short journal writing one day at a time. Regardless of how busy you are, Iyanla gives you the opportunity to truly begin a life of joy and purpose. The first time I read this, I was under a tremendous amount of stress, unbelievably busy, and so short on time that sleeping was a luxury--- still, I was able to take a few moments a day to read her words of wisdom and work with each principle throughout my day. If you ever buy another book in your life, buy "One Day My Soul Just Opened Up." It is truly, truly phenomenal, and I guarantee that it will change your life.

Summary: yuck
Review: i like the chick, i really do. i initially saw her on oprah, all dynamic and inspiring. but, i just couldn't get past the higher power references, which were like every other sentence. i was hoping for more soul work, more generic "insert-your-own- faith-or-lack-of" here attitude, and less god-related-to-soul references. if you are religious, you will love this book, and i would highly recommend it. if not, you may like her initial concept but be put off.
