About this ebook

“The most powerful spiritual healer, fixer, teacher on the planet.” —Oprah Winfrey

What if your deepest pain held the key to your greatest healing?

In Yesterday, I Cried, New York Times bestselling author and spiritual teacher Iyanla Vanzant shares her powerful personal story—a journey marked by abuse, neglect, heartbreak, and loss. With unflinching honesty and raw emotion, she invites us to witness how life’s most painful moments can transform into profound lessons of resilience, self-love, and spiritual growth.

Through deeply personal reflections, Iyanla shows how crying—once seen as a sign of weakness—became her pathway to strength, clarity, and healing. Her story is not just her own, but one many will recognize: the struggle to rise above past wounds and reclaim inner peace.

This soul-stirring work is for anyone who’s ever felt broken by life, yet still hopes to find wholeness. If you’ve ever asked, “Why me?” or “How do I move forward?”—this book offers an honest, compassionate answer.

I must say I found this book to be as phenomenal as the writer herself. Ms Iyanla Vanzant did an amazing tribute of her life which also inspired me to sort through and work on some of my traumatic experiences I have avoided as I continued to transition from a girl to a lady. Thank you soooo much for allowing yourself to be unselfish with the world about your journey or experiences of your life. You helped me to get IT! I really didn't get it when my mother passed away in 2000. I recently buried my oldest son. so painful, but I get it. I have to go on because I am more than a daughter and wife and mother. I am a child of the Most High God and He loves me enough to place Joy in my Soul! I couldn't do life on this side without The Most High God! Thank you again 💓 💖. You are a Phenomenal Woman.🙏🏽 Yes, I recommend this book.
