Rating: Summary: Today, I¿m Laughing and Enjoying My Life¿ Review: Once again Iyanla does it again. This is one book I will definitely keep to read over at another time frame in my life to reflect on how I have grown. Thanks, Iyanla for sharing your life with many others and teaching me to celebrate and love myself before anything else to complete my life to the fullest. This book is about healing and through that healing acknowledging the power to be healed and using that power.
Rating: Summary: Would have been an interesting and moving story... Review: If only Iyanla Vanzant could actually write a coherent sentence. I could have been brought to tears reading the book, but I couldn't get past the "tenth grade" style of writing that seems to persist in all her works.
Rating: Summary: PERFECT Review: I think that the book is perfect. The reality of the true circumstances really touch home. I know that some of you long time fans seem to be disappointed in "yesterday I cried" due to the repetitive content that you all have seemed accustomed to. But there are many more people in the world who have not previously been exposed to her. And personally her story and healing power is new to me. Let everyone else catch up to the blessings that you all have been receiving. Those who are complaining obviously missed the lessons anyway. This book is amazing. "singing my life with her song, killing me softly".....
Rating: Summary: Read!If your finding that spiritual growth requires work. Review: Iyanla Vanzant is one noble sistah! In Yesterday I cried, her willingness to be vulnerable (to air her "dirty laundry"), for her growth and ours, reflects a type of courage that I've never before observed in a Black female contemporary writer.Yesterday I Cried confronts our shame. Our healing process, as Black people, has been stifled by our shame. Our shame requires us to cry in silence or pretend that we are well when we are not. How can we heal when we refuse to admit that we are wounded? Thank you Iyanla for daring to go there in Yesterday I Cried. I am extremely grateful that you push through your issues to teach and nurture us. You have encouraged us to cry out loud and in public when we need to. Openly acknowledging our hurt liberates our confined pain and waves a flag to those who may be able to assist us, as we heal.
Rating: Summary: Author Joel Rothschild says this is wondeful and important ! Review: Once again, Iyanla is changing our world. This book along with her other books will lighten your load and improve your life. I am one of the longest living AIDs survivor's in the world. I have been inspired by her work. My own book Signals has been endorsed by Iyanla so I guess it's mutual respect and love. I really do love this book.
Rating: Summary: Helps Heal you pain and drive out skeletons! Review: This book is a little disjointed, but message is loud and clear. Get the past pain resolved so you can move on and we all can! Regardless of our despair and traumatic lives, there is hope.
Rating: Summary: Powerful Review: This book was powerful. Iylana expressed her inner soul and I could feel the pain as she wrote every word. Moving!!!!!
Rating: Summary: For those who think it is impossible to do the impossible!! Review: Iyanla's message of hope evokes inspiration to all who are graced by her words. Her testimony of her life's experiences has opened my life to a greater sense of purpose. I have always suspected, but never knew for sure, the power that resides within my will. Now, with confirmation of her experiences, I draw upon her strength to build my own. Yesterday, I cried, too. But now, my tears are no longer in vain. A masterful journey into self discovery and empowerment for all to experience. Kudos, Iyanla!
Rating: Summary: An Excuse Filled, Poor Me Book Review: I sincerely fell sad about the events of Rhonda's early life, but feel that the major lesson she learned is how to make sure she always has a man. The name Iyanla (Good Mother) is an ugly joke because this woman was far from a good mother. The lesson that she missed is that the most important job she has ever had was to be a good mother to her own children and by her own admission, she failed.
Rating: Summary: An exceptional book Review: The author draws the reader into each chapter of the book. She teaches powerful principles step-by-step, and often in a passionate manner. It's easy to relate this and that to each reader's own life, and that's exactly what the experience was for me. Another book that I highly recommend, and which has helped me tremendously, especially in the chapter of Loving Yourself, as my self-esteem was boosted, is Dietmar Scherf's "I Love Me: Avoiding and Overcoming Depression" which also available at Amazon.
