— Empowerment book features Iyanla’s life-saving trust prescriptions —
Bookcover and author, Iyanla Vanzant
New York, NY — You just can’t trust anyone!” seems to be a constant refrain in the modern world. Indeed, learning to trust is one of life’s most difficult lessons. “That’s because trust is not a verb,” says legendary life coach Iyanla Vanzant, “it’s a noun. Trust is a state of mind and a state of being.”
“When we learn to trust others, it supports and eases the difficulty of life’s most challenging experiences. Trusting others gives you something to hold on to when it feels as if change is sucking the life out of you,” Iyanla says.
Too often our fear of whether or not we can really trust an individual or an institution and what they represent erodes our confidence and undermines our relationships. When trust is broken or there is a betrayal, it can bring us face-to-face with our shadow, revealing that someone has failed to live up to our expectations and thus “outs” our hidden beliefs. “You never get what you ask for; you always get what you expect,” says Iyanla. When someone betrays our trust it reveals the high price paid for such deep disconnection.
The pragmatic trust-building prescriptions featured in the book demonstrate how communication, consistency, and cooperation can remedy trust-destroying behaviors, revitalize us with increased authenticity, greater resilience, and renewed peace in every part of our lives.
