Don't Give It Away! . A Workbook of Self Awareness and Self Affirmations for Young Women

Editorial Review
You are special.
You are precious.

You are It!

Today, Iyanla Vanzant is a bestselling author with her own business and a loving family. But it wasn't so long ago that she was a teenager -- a sixteen-year-old mother and high school dropout on welfare. Iyanla knows that a young woman's journey can be lonely and hard. She remembers how difficult it is to put into words the way you feel, how it feels to want to be loved.

In Don't Give It Away!, Iyanla presents a workbook in which you can write your feelings and express your thoughts about the things that matter to you -- your family, your friends, your body, and your love life. Problems at home and at school are a natural part of every young woman's life, but understanding what to do with how you feel about your problems is the key to growing up. Iyanla Vanzant shows you that the love you seek is the love that you are.

Every Girl Should Have This Book

2001-12-11
Every Girl Should Have This Book. Full of messages for self-reflection, gathering strength and eliciting a girl's spirit to unfold into womanhood. Helps girls get be strong and grow into themselves in the midst of all tough passages of being young and female. Teaches inner strength, confidence and connection to something bigger when life may make a girl question herself or her experience. Soothing. And someone needs to write a version for boys with their developmental issues in mind.

Guaranteed to touch your life and soul. Thank you Iyanla.
