Life changing! - By: Pippa Small, 17 May 2008 
I'm not sure if I found this book or it found me!! I came across it when I was at one of the lowest points in my life. I'm a fairly prolific reader but this is the first book that I have EVER read from cover to cover then went straight back to page one & started reading again. It completely changed my way of thinking about life & how we treat relationships of every kind. Life gets better every day. A must read for everyone.
Brilliant - By: Manifestor, 07 May 2008 I thought this book was simply brilliant. I definitely felt I had shifted into a new place after reading it. I was able to let past hurts & people go, in the knowledge that everything is simply just as it is supposed to be, & I'm in exactly the right place. I have also now bought the workbook. There are many interesting exercises in it, which help you appreciate & understand who you are. I highly recommend both.
Best book I ever read - By: C. Sherratt, 03 Feb 2007 I picked this book up in the hope that it would keep me occupied on holiday. It changed my life - don't be put off by the God stuff - this book will show you exactly who you are - it marks the beginning of the most exciting journey you have ventured to take.
You're doing it right! - By: , 16 Jul 2001 If you've ever wondered how you got into the mess you're in - or more importantly why you're there, read this book. From a state of despair, it lifted me up, it told me I was okay & doing everything perfectly for my own divine search & path. I picked up the book by "accident" & now will never be without it - God is helping me every step of the way, he gave me this book. If you are lost, read this book. If you feel alone, read this book. If you feel like you've messed it up again, read this book. Iyanla Vanzant has a trully amazing gift, it's the gift of truth & we alll have it.
Good, but not Great! - By: C. O'DONNELL, 28 Mar 2001 
I feel like a traitor amongst alll the people who LOVE this book, but I'm sorry I was not reallly one of them. It wasn't the message of the book I disliked - teaching you to learn from every relationship, to be honest with yourself & others, to learn to love yourself before you love anyone else - these are alll brilliant lessons to learn, but it was the style the book was written in that I couldn't get to grips with. The whole premise of the book is that our spirtual path or evolution is like a house - a basement level, first floor, second floor etc, OK fine, but the whole home metaphor gets a bit much after a while & the telling of stories as examples of lessons she is trying to teach are a good idea, but they never reallly seem realistic & sometimes the story is just left without you feeling you have reallly come to any conclusions about it. Maybe I missed the whole point, but this book would have been so much better if its message about growth was expanded more instead of alll the confusion of floors, attics, garbage, fridges etc as overused & heavy metaphors. I love Iyanla Vanzant on the Oprah show, & in fact liked the show about this very book, but somehow on the page it gets tiresome. Sorry :)
