I found this book helped me to start on the journey of finding myself, not being ashamed of where I had been. It has helped me on my journey of finding myself and drawing closer to God.

Still reading this Wonderful book, and it is having a profound experience on my life. I'm sure it has for many others, as well. Thank you Iyanla Vanzant

It was a very inspiring and spiritual book. Only after 3 weeks I meet a wonderful friend and we got married six months afterward. We have been married for 3 years now and constantly learning how to grow in love with each other. The book teaches that the meantime is a continual process it doesn't stop, therefore everyone needs the skills in order to overcome and learn how to enjoy the meantime.

The most rewarding book I have ever read. Really put me at ease with who I was, and encouraged me to continue to be the person that I am.

After reading this book, for the first time I can say that I am happy being single. I no longer get up in the morning and "wish" I had someone. This book helped me to be happy and content to be love, and stop "trying" to find someone.

I underlined many paragraphs from the book that were really profound for me, and I go back to the book often for a little pick me up...

"In the Meantime" showed me how important I was to myself. References to "Cleaning Products" and "Floors" were easy to follow and I was easily able to put them into perspective in my life. This book helped me turn my life around by giving me the support and guidance I needed - professionally, personally, romantically. I highly recommend it.

I did not think the book was well written and I believe it encourages people to be too self-centered. However, it has a few good points, such as: "You can't grab what is good for you if you are holding on to what is bad for you." and "fluctuation is not the same as change." In toto, it is worth reading.
