Iyanla Vanzant: Finding Your Life Assignment

"We think we know the whole story; we think the chapter we're in is it. But characters have yet to come on stage, the director may be changing and the set will be altered. If you don't like what's going on, you're the producer--rewrite the script!" These are the words of Iyanla Vanzant, who believes we all have a divine nature and wants to help you uncover yours. Providing the tools to simplify your life, deal effectively with anger, develop discipline and cultivate better relationships, Vanzant challenges you to grab hold of the reins of your life to get where you want to go. Inspirational, compassionate and possessed of a richly empowering voice, Vanzant says there is more to life than fleeting moments of pleasure, and shows the way to that state of permanent internal well-being called joy.

A Yoruba priestess and ordained minister, Vanzant is the founder and executive director of the Inner Visions Spiritual Life Maintenance Network, and a best-selling author whose latest books include In the Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love You Want (Simon & Schuster 1998) and One Day My Soul Just Opened Up: 40 Days and 40 Nights Toward Spiritual Strength (Fireside 1998).
