Summary: DO NOT waste your time in the "MEANTIME" !
Review: I was hoping this book would be more positive. I didn't find the examples of other couples unrelated to my current situation or worth reading about. Actually, I could care less about these fictitious people anyway !!!! I was hoping that the author wouldn't waste hundreds of pages telling me to "wait" and "hope for better things" while in the MEANTIME.....after reading this...I WILL NOT WAIT in the meantime BUT live my life being happy NOW not dwelling on a failed relationship...if this doesn't make any sense...exactly...either does the book!
don't waste your money !

Summary: All houses need constant cleaning and so does our heart
Review: I first heard about Yyanla Vanzant 4 years ago as I was feeling down and miserable. My love life was pretty much a mess. One day I turn the TV and Iyanla was the feature guest of Oprah. What an experience! I ran and bought In the Meantime and it was worth every cent. The cases presented by her are as real as life itself and all of us, I'm sure, can relate to those experiences and best of all: learn. Our hearts like houses need constant nurturing and caring and this book shows you how. Buy the book and keep it in your nightstand it is sure a great companion in life.

Summary: Bad writing spoils what could be a good book
Review: While the message of this book is as wonderful and uplifting as everyone else has mentioned, the author's editor should be fired. I found the writing style so distracting that I could barely finish the book. Anecdotes appear with seemingly no connection to the previous paragraph, the same thought is repeated a million different ways, and the organization of the book is terrible. Maybe Iyanla should stick to public speaking, because writing is not her forte. I'd go with another book that offers more practical advice and less rambling.

Thanks Iyanla!

Summary: Finding Yourself
Review: This book is not just for those who have lost the one they love. It is about learning about yourself and how to love yourself in order to bring out your best qualities so that you and your true love may find each other one day. It is spiritually uplifting and gives even those who have lost all hope of finding thier soul mate hope.

Summary: A Tower of Strength
Review: I have had this book for several years now and am freqently referring to it in difficult emotional times. I have recommended it to numerous friends, male and female who have also founf it extremely helpful. We are in agreement that the first 5 chapters are the most valuable and have re-read a number of pages when feeling directionless and without strength. I don't consider myself to be a particularly spiritual person and was thus surprised to find myself being supported by something quite alien to me, for which however I am extremely grateful. Truly an inspiration which I thank Iynala for immensely. Please can we have some workshops in the UK !!!!.

Summary: Life-changing and insightful book
Review: I read this book while trying to decide whether to stay in a painful relationship. Before I read this book, I was miserable about the direction my life was taking and felt powerless to change any of it. What I read made me realize that I do have choices, and also showed me the importance of finding love within myself first and foremost. What I found in this book made me feel peaceful for the first time in a long time, and taught me how to find joy in the struggles in my life. This will be a book that I read over and over when life gets rough, and I have no doubt that each time I will learn something new.

Summary: In the Meantime find something else to read...
Review: Now I finally know exactly why I've been avoiding Iyanla Vanzant's books. I started reading this book because I was hoping to find some assistance with a lacking relationship I'm dealing with. I flipped through the book in the bookstore and read a few paragraphs that related to me...so I bought it. Today I will be returning it. What I wanted to know was how to get my mind off of relationships gone wrong and myself right. This book offers no solid solutions, it only brushes over what needs to be done. I kept reading thinking, well maybe she'll help me sort through this mess in the next chapter--but she never did. I thought this book was about finding yourself and the love you want...but it's really about finding the money to pay for this book and trying to regain the time you wasted on reading it.
