Narrated by: Iyanla Vanzant

The most important relationship you will ever have is the relationship you have with yourself, teaches Iyanla Vanzant. It's the model for every other relationship you enter into.

In Giving to Yourself First, the best-selling author of In the Meantime reminds us that in order to genuinely love others, we need to love ourselves more.

Phenomenal read!

I love this book. It is self help, it is medicinal, and it is healing!

So relaxing & Helpful

This book has helped me to understand the importance of where my focus is. It has also shown me how to redirect my focus on that which matters first- myself. Thank you Iyanla & thank you a Jesus.

I am being thrown a life raft

I have been searching for something to help me over the hump, and this is it. I was cruising thru Audible looking for something that could touch me in a familiar , deeply, soulful way, and this is it. I not able to listen to high pitched. excited, selling type of voices. I was almost about to give up, and then Spirit just thru this in the mix. My grandfather was a preacher, my mother was a choir director, and the way Iyanla has the prayers, songs, and breathing meditation organized, makes all the since in the world to me. I am finding, much peace of mind, and joy from this Blessing, thank you Iyanla for this gift. Thank you heaven for the guidance.

Self First

This book is exactly what I needed to recognize I have been putting myself last for too long. It led to having a bad attitude and not having patience with people. I cannot be there for everyone until you are there for yourself first.

Learning to rest in thee.

This audible book is my battle cry for “doing the work”. Thank you Iyanla for sharing your gifts with us. I’m glad you didn’t stop talking. Blessings my sistah. Althea J
