5.0 out of 5 stars Practical earthy wisdom anyone can benefit from
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2015

I've owned this book for a couple of years now and realized I never wrote a review. Ms Nichols' book isn't your typical self-help book that tries to cheer lead you into a new take on your life. So many of those feel either patronizing or phony and they just didn't *talk* to that inner part of me that I was trying to so hard to reach and change. Nichols' *talked* to that inner me with stories of her own life that are were so genuine I just couldn't help but relate to.

My life's history and circumstances are completely different from what Nichols grew up with, yet I felt like she was in the room listening and giving me some honest earthy wisdom to put to use. Her stories, how she tells them and what she learned from them, resonated strong and honest with me. Our lives are totally different, and yet the pain and challenges to our humanity were the same.

Too many books of this type preach the usual "be positive, smile and you will be happy" message and to be honest, that just doesn't hit the right notes for me. Nichols' does say the same thing, but it's less than 1/4 of the book. The rest is how to bounce back when you get beaten up, how to take your scars and use them to get stronger. It also teaches you to look at yourself and what you're doing or not doing that makes you unhappy by example. In a way, Ms Nichols is like that wise Grandmother we all wish we had who could gently knock some sense and perspective in your head.

I've owned this for a little over 2 years now, I reread it every 6 months or so and *still* get a "AHA!" from it. If I could I would give this woman the most embarrassing of hugs for the warmth, compassion and practical wisdom this book has given, and continues giving me.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS IS A KEEPER!

I'm only on the 4th chapter and I love this book. I can't say that about all the books that I have purchased. I read the reviews before purchasing it for my kindle app. I've been going through a rough patch and Lisa Nichols has some solid information. I know that I will read this book more than once so that I get as much out of it as I can. I'm already using some of the practices that she mentioned in current and prior chapters. If you do what she asks you to do in the book, you will start seeing the changes that you want to see. God bless.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK WILL HELP STOP THE MADNESS BEFORE IS STARTS. Very good read for all young ladies 14 years old to adults

This is a good book that causes you think about what you really want to attract into your life. Lisa tells her story so someone else won't have to go through this same ordeal or how to get out if your are in a crazy situation and don't know what to do. Then she gives step by step instruction on how to better your life. After listening to the audiobook you will also want to purchase the book for a ready reference when you need it. and you will not find this book in the half price book store I checked with them several times. This one is a keeper to learn all the concepts Lisa offers in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars So genuine!
Reviewed in the United States on May 27, 2019

I first saw Lisa's dynamic speeches on YouTube so when I learned she'd written a book, I had to get it. This book is one of the best self-help type books I've ever read. She's a great storyteller and she tells her experience is such a genuine way-- I think anyone can relate to it, regardless of background. She gives practical advice in a conversational and approachable way that does not sound preachy. This book helped me assess who I am and what I'm attracting to my life. It'll be a good book to have and reference for many years to come.

This is one of the best self-development books I have ever read. If you want to learn to forgive yourself and others, accept yourself and others, learn to take action -- just get your life in order, this is the workbook for you. I mean you've got to put the work in, but it will be well worth it. You will find yourself going back to it again and again. I LOVE this book and highly recommend it!

This is not only an excellent read, but an excellent book that aids in putting the concepts presented into action. The exercises are practical and dig deep into personal healing and setting yourself up for the dreams you want for your future. Lisa speaks and writes as if she's walking with you along your journey - I highly recommend.

I read this book in a couple of hours and had the stories swirling around in my head for many days. Lisa, you are such a strong, brave and truly inspiring woman. Never give up no matter what! The story of your fiance who almost killed you was really frightening and emphasises how much we need to listen to our inner voice. Thanks for being so open and brutally honest.

Lisa Nichols style of writing makes this book not only inspirational, but easy to read. The author reveals a lot about her own life and how she overcame her problems and obstacles in life. At the end of each chapter are inspired action steps and essential actions you can take and put into your own life to achieve the successful and fulfilling life you deserve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is incredible and has turned my life around. The way Lisa Nichols uses examples from her own life to explain her writings allows even someone in the most dire of situations believe that they have the power to turn their life around. The techniques described are effective and relatively simple to implement if you're willing to practice. I would definitely recommend this to a friend, in fact I have already bought this book for several of them!
