Iyanla VanzantOne Day My Soul Just Opened Up: 40 Days and 40 Nights Toward Spiritual Strength and Personal Growth

This book has motivated and instructed me on how to develop my emotional and spiritual health. The instructions for this book are very clear: read one chapter each day and complete the exercise. The goal is to complete this self-awareness journey in "40 days and 40 nights", but I read at my own pace.Through this book, I was able to better understand my life experiences and gain a different perspective how to approach situations in the future. Your current life journey will determine how it will serve you. Overall, it was an excellent read and I highly recommend it to others.

I love this author and this book has saved me in some really dark days. Worth the investment.

I love the way the book is broken down day by day. Each day is a different emotional principle we've all experienced at some point in life. The questions at the end of each day are so thought provoking

one of the best books i have read on my healing journey a must have

I have brought this book for several of the women in my family I continue to give my own copy away and have to order another copy. This book to me is like my Bible, I find strength from reading each chapter that has the working definitions at the beginning of each chapter and answering the questions at the end of each of the chapters. I save my answers as a reference to where I was when I last read the chapter so when I answer the questions again, I can see I'm not where I use to be that I have grown. This book deals with life issues, it does not matter what you’re going through day to day there is a chapter that relates to it. The great thing is that the book will help you get through it, if you’re willing to be honest with yourself. I was once so in love with a man going through on again, off again relationship. I could not see in front of my face; the pain of loving him and being stuck on stupid was too much something had to give. After reading this book working the chapters it changed me for the better. I have not had any problems out of him in 5 years he can't love me enough or do enough for me. He changed to the point he goes to water aerobics classes with me twice a week this was a great shock for me, he’s not that type of man. The good thing is I never said a word to him about anything after reading this book. That's just one of the examples this book has helped me with. The point I want to share with you it covers all areas professionally as well for the better. When you work on the inside of you it will show on the outside.Newark, NJ

Iyanla is amazing. The daily workshops are easy but still give you daily food for thought. I'm not done with the book so I can't testify to my soul being opened up yet. I do find the words encouraging and uplifting, which in this day I believe we could all use a bit more of. I've also found the writing frank about unpleasantness which I think quite a few self-help books could use more of. You can't help yourself if you're still in denial. I like it, you should pick it up.

Great book. Help you tap into your inner self

Although the book was in great condition someone left their children’s photos in the book. I hate to throw the photo away.

For anyone who is fan one Self development

It's great to have a book like this in the toolkit when ready for some personal strengthening and improvements before moving on to the next stage of a journey. At times like these I find Iyanla Vanzant always has something to offer.The book should take a minimum of 40 days (and nights) to work through. It's not daunting, just read one commentary and journal each morning and evening. It's easy to follow and understand and contains content of great depth.

This book not only helps you to maintain peace within but also helps you to overcome your past.A must read for all those who have started their spiritual journey.
