Living Through the Meantime : Learning to Break the Patterns of the Past and Begin the Healing Process

This book was not what I had expected. It is mainly a workbook...not much to read.

I bought this book because I thought it would help me sort out a lot of the issues that I was feeling emotionally and mentally from the things that have happened to me in the past. Iyanla starts off with a generalization of this prophecy. However, when you start this self help workbook, you get lost in the array of questions associated with your feelings, thoughts, and reasoning behind beliefs you've learned from childhood, or events that dramatically changed your way of innocent thinking. It then becomes hard to distinguish what your feeling from what happened. What makes it even more difficult is Iyanla provides suggestive statements that helps describe what it is your feeling and this confuses things more. By the time, I get through a chapter, I'm exhausted from figuring out what's top from bottom, that I really didn't aquire much. However, she offers a lot of love quotes and statements, that offer a quick fix to improve negative attitudes and beliefs. Great for memorizing and repeating through difficult times. Overall, I usually love Iyanla's books and activities, but this one....I really wished I hadn't purchased.

This is the perfect follow up for In the Meantime. On my journey to continue the healing process and grow this has been wonderful.

This was not my first book by her but this was the first one I didn't care for. I was very disapointed when I open the book. I was under the impression I would be able to work on my inner self. However, this book might work for others but not me. It ask me question that I was not able to answer. ex. Things about my mom. (mom died at early age) alot of the question I couldn't answer due to I don't know most of my family or know my family history. So I became very frustrated with the book an put it down and never looked at it again. I do feel if you have a strong connection or have been around your family enough you will be abe to work through the book. Good luck to other who might try
