review 1: Iyanla Vanzant talks about her life story. What she's been through, how she got herself through and out of it. Her struggles as a mother, an abused woman, a wife and a television personality, she talks about how she lost everything, including her daughter. She speaks about how she got in tune with herself and brought herself back from the brink and how she learned to love herself. An excellent read. Read: August 2014. review 2: The subtitle of this book is "How to get through what you're going through", so naturally I assumed that this would be a self-help book on dealing with your own struggle. Instead I found a story about the author's life and what I understand to be how she was processing her own struggles.I recently lost a very dear friend, but unlike th... moree author I do not have the luxury of retreating to my bed for months in order to heal. I found it rather puzzling that anyone who struggled so much financially would ignore all her financial responsibilities, however I do understand that grief has a way of making everything in your life less of a priority.So if you are looking for insight as to how to deal with your own challenges, this may not be the book for you. If you are familiar with the author's public life and would like to read her story, if you feel that you can glean wisdom from it, then perhaps you will connect with it more than I did. less
