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.

I THINK I.V. IS AN EXCELLENT WRITER! ONE DAY JUST LOOKING THROGH THE BOOK LIST OF TEENAGE BOOKS I STUMBLED UPON A BOOK THAT CAUGHT MY EYE WHEN I TOLD MY MOM THE TITLE DON’T GIVE IT AWAY. THAT NIGHT WE WENT TO THE BOOK STORE AND PURCHASED THE BOOK. AS I STARTED TO READ,IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE A STRONG BLACK 12 YEAR OLD GIRL IT ALSO GAVE ME MORE SELF-CONFIDENCE.
I THINK THAT MS.VANZANT IS AN SUPER,SUPER WRITER NOT ONLY FOR TEENS BUT ALSO FOR ADULTS. WHEN I GOT TO THE PART ABOUT THE DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES TO EXPRESS YOUR CERTAIN FEELINGS IT GOT MORE AND MORE INTERESTING. I THINK GUYS SHOULD ALSO READ THIS BOOK FOR TWO REASONS, IT IS INSPIRATIONAL ANDIT CAN TURN YOUR LIFE AROUND. HOPE TO SEE ANOTHER BOOK FOR US TEENS IN YEAR 2000.

The book is focused on young women, however, more mature ones will also find it beneficial. The title is excellent, because the book is concerned about self and what one should keep. It is written in a workbook format that can be read in a short period of time. However, the thought provoking questions and exercises, take some time and allows one to view her life as is and how she would like it to be. The self-affirmations are excellent, because many people do not know what or how to say them.
The survival kits provide good practical ideas of what a person should do if she is going through a bad time or has negative feelings. The inserted graphics, developed for the young person, with or without text are colorful and interesting . Vanzant also makes several interesting points about the role the Creator should play in a young woman’s life. I feel that the book is valuable for any woman. I read it and then passed on to my God Child who is fifteen!

Just after I finished ‘Yesterday I Cried’ by Iyanla, I got this book by her–and it’s excellent. It will give a boost to your self-esteem no matter if you’re a teenager or already grown up.
Indeed you will feel precious after reading “Don’t give it away.” Another book along the same lines especially on the subject of Identity Crisis and Self-Esteem, and which is a phenomenal book if you haven’t read it yet, which has helped me so much and boosted my self-esteem with substance and truth is Dietmar Scherf’s “I Love Me: Avoiding & Overcoming Depression”–I highly recommend it and it’s available at Amazon.
