Length: 2 hrs and 19 mins

Publisher's Summary

Is it the job you hate but need in order to pay the rent? Is it that relationship that you gave your all to only to end up with a broken heart...again? Perhaps it's your children, a family member, or a life-long friend doing you in, dragging you down, pushing you to the brink. If you are an honorary member of the Black Woman's Suffering Society, you have probably been told that it's all your fault. Or that struggling and suffering is your lot in life. Iyanla Vanzant says, "No!" Life is an act of faith and suffering is optional! Those everyday challenges, obstacles, and dilemmas are what Iyanla calls "valleys". As bad as they may seem, there is a purpose or, as Iyanla says, "There is so much value in the valley".

If you've ever been disappointed, betrayed, rejected, abandoned, or just plain old scared to let go, then you've been or may still be in a valley. Iyanla knows; she's been there, and on a bad day, she's still there, but now she shares the way out with you.

Powerful read!!

Thank You!

No matter where I am in my life when discord strikes I return to this guide to get out of the valley. I thank the Father for Iyanla. She has been my angel for a very long time... (Smile)

Good book but way too short.

This is a great book. It gives great insight but leaves you wanting more. it doesn't get deeply into the story enough and it finishes too quickly, it feels rushed as if she didn't have time to finish it.

This book will help you through tough times

I recommend this book for any Sista who is going through something or needs direction in Life. Iyanla Vanzant put a lot of great wisdom and insight into this book

Must Read for Black Women

This book is a staple and I am grateful for it. AWESOME read! I enjoyed the teachings thoroughly

She breaks you down and makes shallow attempts build you up

I heard the first few chapters of this and I really believe this book should be important reading for black women. Her descriptions in the beginning about black women and what they go through is problematic. She comes of as being real and telling the truth but it’s awful. There are a ton of books that are genuinely about your self awareness and growth and this is not it.

Inspiring

Another inspiring work from Iyanla! I really enjoyed this book. Very important life lessons about learning from every life experience.

Positive

This book will pick you up when you are feeling your lowest and take you to new heights.

Brilliant

Short but brilliant. One of her best books on what to do when we are going through a tough period “the valley”. I have gone back to it time and time again. I need her to write new books.

Life changing...

...mind changing... self changing. Magical. Thank you Iyanla, I appreciate you, the wisdom you have worked hard to develop and the love within you through which you share yourself and your wisdom with others. 💞

brilliant and excellent

I loved listening to this book it was structured well. I enjoyed every minute of it, it was good how the book reflected on live examples of really experiences of what black women go through.

Brilliant a must read for black men and women

Insightful and inspiring the principles the principles shared are thought provoking and life changing if you apply them. A book to be re read at different stages of your life

Super inspirational and substance for your soul

I have the hard copy of this title so I was a little disappointed some of the content had been removed from the audio, especially the meditations. However the key principles are there! This should be a mandatory read for every black female and it's definately worth purchasing.

easy to listen to. This is my goto book when I need spiritual guidance and inspiration.
