by Iyanla Vanzant

You know where you want to be, but you have no clue how to get there. You know exactly what you want in life, but what you want is nowhere in sight. Perhaps your vision is unclear, your purpose still undefined. On top of it all, your relationships, particularly your romantic relationships, are failing. If these scenarios feel familiar way down in the deepest part of your gut-- then you, my dear, are smack dab in the middle of the meantime. Your mother, bless her heart, and your father, with all of his good intentions, did not prepare you for the meantime. They did not because they could not. No one can prepare you or help you find what you are looking for. What you need is love, not romance. Love, not more money. Love, not a new car. Love is the only thing that can make the meantime worthwhile. Once you find love, true selflove, and unconditional love for everyone all the time, things will look, feel, and be a lot better. The question is: What do you do in the meantime? Every living being wants to experience the light of love. The problem is that our windows are dirty! The windows of our hearts and minds are streaked with past pains and hurts, past memories and disappointments. The windows are so clouded by fear, self-doubt, and inaccurate information that the light of love cannot shine through. In the meantime, we keep looking through the foggy window, trying to convince ourselves that what we see is the real thing. It's not, and we know it, but we can't seem to figure out what to do until the real thing comes along.

READER'S COMMENTS ON In the Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love You Want

eading this book was the best thing I've done for myself in years. As a man reeling from ANOTHER extremely painful breakup, I was desperate for anything to sooth the pain. Having read LOTS of self-help books, I can say with some justification that this is the most spiritual, calming, healing guide to relationships that I've ever encountered. Like a cold compress on a fevered brow, I could always find relief and peace by reading this book, even at 3:00 in the morning.

Recommended to me by a spiritually advanced friend, I found it to be the only thing that calmed me down, stopped my heart from racing, eliminated the panic attacks, and made me feel whole again. It provides a loving, gentle nudge in the direction of individual wholeness, completeness, and understanding of what we've all done wrong in relationships. More importantly, it shows us what we can do to PREVENT these disasters in the future. The key, of course, is self-love. Like a gentle mother guiding her unruly offspring, Ayanla lovingly puts us back on the right path without making us feel stupid, unworthy, or hopelessly inept at love. Her most powerful contribution is the concept that no matter how bad our partner and the relationship, it is ALWAYS ONLY ABOUT US!

This book provides a roadmap to relationship success, if only we make the time for ourselves to uncover our own issues and work to correct them. I've read the book three times in a row, including highlighting, underlining, and dog-earring the pages. This is like a User's Guide to love. Don't get caught without it. Please savor this book. Race through it the first time, if you must, but read it slowly again to really understand what she is trying to teach us. Vanzant should get the Nobel Prize for this one.~MileHigh

I've read some pretty good spiritual and self-help books over the past couple of years, and have gleaned some great information from them all. But this is so much more than that; it is a life changer. It's like sitting down on a warm park bench and having a conversation with a trusted, caring friend. In the Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love You Want is simply put, mind blowing and life altering.

I can't adequately describe exactly how, but the writer strikes the difficult balance of intertwining profound wisdom and interesting stories to keep the reader engaged. I devoured it in two days and that's only because I had the flu. Otherwise, I would have read it end-to-end without stopping. I will no doubt read it over and over again.

The message isn't always easy to swallow; I grappled with it at times myself despite the fact that I am about as open to change right now (to my own chagrin) as they come. It might be even harder to accept for those still stuck in thinking life and love can be controlled and/or owned. I read a review of a man who didn't like the book and cautioned not to let a significant other read it. That's okay, I understand that thinking and was there myself as little as a year ago. But I couldn't disagree more now, and I sent a copy to my ex-partner.

In the Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love You Want did more to expand my perspective -- and heart, than any counseling or book has done to date. It is THAT good. At the very least, you can't help but come away from it feeling more understood, supported, inspired and hopeful than before. Excellent book.~Meantime Girl

Probably one of the best books i have ever read. Changed my life. Bitter - divorced - 25 - i was struggling. READ THIS BOOK.~Forest

In the Meantime, etc., is a book that you can read once and say - "that was a good book." Then, you pick it up again, some time later and say "WOW!" This is right where I am at this time. Each word has new and special significance. When I first read this book, I thought it was about "relationships", good ones and not so good ones. I re-read it recently and realize it is more about the "biggest" love, the love I have for myself. It's like a guidebook, showing you the many paths you are faced with and how much it really doesn't matter which one you choose, it will be the one you need to. Thank you, Iyanla. Keep on writing and making music for the soul.~Sylvia

This book has opened my eyes, kicked me a few times, brought it all home with pure honesty. This book has changed my life, for the better and best! Thank you Ilyana, you are an angel.~Kat

I cannot even begin to explain how wonderful and insightful this book is. I recommend it to everyone I know--even if you're not having a life or love "crisis" there are insights and wisdoms in this book that can help everyone. I even took some of Vanzant's profound passages and wrote them on pretty paper and hung in next to the mirror in my bathroom--that way her knowledge of the soul can keep getting reinforced to me. You will not regret reading this book. ~R.H.

In the Meantime: Finding Yourself and the Love You Want by Iyanla is the most provocative and inspirational book I have ever come across. She makes things that have been issues or unexplained for so long so simple and comprehensive. She instills a sense of hope that what is happening, what you are going through is normal and it can be fixed and dealt with.

Her writing has made my past experiences so much more "meaningful" and explains so much about me and why I did what did and do what I do. The book has certainly inspired me and I now feel ready to face any challenge coming my way, keeping my intentions and expectations close to my heart on my way to the attic!!

A true inspiration!~Deborah
