I love books that help you understand yourself and others better, and this book definitely fits that bill. This book was not a fast read, but it was a valuable read. Vanzant intersperses true stories about herself and others to help make her points. There are some sections that are so dense with her nuggets of wisdom and profound explanations ... that these storytelling sections are quite welcomed. I honestly feel I could reread this book multiple times to continue processing all the takeaways... there is just so much to digest. However, her framework of four essential trusts helps glue everything together. In the mind of this reader, it seems the first "trust" (Trust in Self) is the most important, but they all are inextricably linked to each other. If you are ready to take a path of self-discovery and of better understanding others, I recommend this enlightening and insightful read.
A book to read if you want to revolutionize the way you think of trust and the components that make it up.
There were quite a few gems and useful takeaways, but a little too much repetition. Full review to come!

My goodness, this book came at the right time! I had never really paid much attention to Iyanla Vanzant even though I had heard of her show on OWN. It wasn't until I began watching Super Soul Sunday and saw the episode in which she appeared and spoke to Oprah about this book and her road to trust that I began listening.
This book was really incredible. It speaks to mastering the four most important trusts in our journeys through this world and how instrumental each is to us living a life that grows us to our greatest potential. I highly recommend this book -- everybody could use a little more trust, whether it is in themselves, God, others or the process of life.

In Trust Iyanla Vanzant covers more ground than I thought possible from a single word. Throughout the book she argues that in order to be functioning, successful, loved, and respected (my words, not hers), you must first have trust in four things: yourself, God, others, and life (that is, trust the process). Through anecdotes she shares how negative emotions like anger, resentment, frustration, and suspicion arise from a lack of trust that your needs will be met.
From section one when she says you can’t have self love without self trust through section four when she says to trust the process of life, Vanzant covers a ton of ground. She spends a good part of the book on learning how to trust the still small voice inside you. If you don’t trust yourself, you can’t trust anything or anyone else, so this is a good place for her to begin the book. Toward the end of the book, she even discusses some of the inherent trust issues that have led to so many black people in this country being shot by police offers.
I learned a lot about myself and about human behavior in general while reading this book. I highlighted a number of passages throughout and have already revisited them since finishing the book. I think this will be a book that I come back to again to read in snippets here and there as my own journey of trust evolves. Vanzant gave me a lot to think about regarding how I interact with this world. Until reading this book, I didn’t realize how much of our pain can be traced back to lack of trust.
I recommend this book for most people (which is not something that can be said about many books), especially for those who feel that something is misaligned in their own lives. You can read it cover to cover or dip in and out as you are ready. Either way, start at the beginning, because the book builds off of trust of self. After that, you can skip around.

If you dont trust others there is something in you that you dont trust.
For me at the end of the day I put my Trust totally in God and everything else will fall into place.
I do this and it has.
