No Matter What!: 9 Steps to Living the Life You Love

Mrs. Nichols shares her empowering testimony as which inspires you to get up and rise up.

I've owned this book for a couple of years now and realized I never wrote a review. Ms Nichols' book isn't your typical self-help book that tries to cheer lead you into a new take on your life. So many of those feel either patronizing or phony and they just didn't *talk* to that inner part of me that I was trying to so hard to reach and change. Nichols' *talked* to that inner me with stories of her own life that are were so genuine I just couldn't help but relate to.My life's history and circumstances are completely different from what Nichols grew up with, yet I felt like she was in the room listening and giving me some honest earthy wisdom to put to use. Her stories, how she tells them and what she learned from them, resonated strong and honest with me. Our lives are totally different, and yet the pain and challenges to our humanity were the same.Too many books of this type preach the usual "be positive, smile and you will be happy" message and to be honest, that just doesn't hit the right notes for me. Nichols' does say the same thing, but it's less than 1/4 of the book. The rest is how to bounce back when you get beaten up, how to take your scars and use them to get stronger. It also teaches you to look at yourself and what you're doing or not doing that makes you unhappy by example. In a way, Ms Nichols is like that wise Grandmother we all wish we had who could gently knock some sense and perspective in your head.I've owned this for a little over 2 years now, I reread it every 6 months or so and *still* get a "AHA!" from it. If I could I would give this woman the most embarrassing of hugs for the warmth, compassion and practical wisdom this book has given, and continues giving me.

I was flipping channels one day when I came across an episode of Larry King Live featuring a panel discussing women and our self-worth. Lisa Nichols was one of the panelists, and I found her to be knowledgeable and inspiring on the subject of self worth. The next day I bought her book and found it to be profound, a page turner and completely inspirational.Lisa was a contributor to the book,  The Secret  by Rhonda Byrne. While  The Secret  was great in introducing the concept of the Law of Attraction,  No Matter What!: 9 Steps to Living the Life You Love  gives more concrete insight into how to live the life you desire. Lisa reaches into her own personal reservoir of experiences--many of them adversities that she had to learn how to overcome. Out of these trying experiences, she formulated character-building strategies to help herself and others survive through life's challenges. Many of the strategies that she discusses are not groundbreaking, but she approaches these strategies in a thought provoking way. She teaches us how to turn situations into positive life lessons, essentially turning "lemons into lemonade." Another added benefit of this book is that at the end of every strategy which she calls "muscle," she provides reflective exercises that reiterates the lesson in each chapter. This book greatly helped me through a recent personal tragedy. A couple of days after I nearly completed reading the book, my cat, who I considered a close member of my family, passed away. Her passing was a heavy blow, but I know this book spoke to me and helped me get through my emotional distress.This isn't a one-time read type of book. I highly recommend reading it more than once--and working through the exercises so that its lessons are internalized. Its suggestions work well as daily habits, which if done as prescribed, can be life-changing.

I read this book in a couple of hours and had the stories swirling around in my head for many days. Lisa, you are such a strong, brave and truly inspiring woman. Never give up no matter what! The story of your fiance who almost killed you was really frightening and emphasises how much we need to listen to our inner voice. Thanks for being so open and brutally honest.

I first saw Lisa's dynamic speeches on YouTube so when I learned she'd written a book, I had to get it. This book is one of the best self-help type books I've ever read. She's a great storyteller and she tells her experience is such a genuine way-- I think anyone can relate to it, regardless of background. She gives practical advice in a conversational and approachable way that does not sound preachy. This book helped me assess who I am and what I'm attracting to my life. It'll be a good book to have and reference for many years to come.

This is a good book that causes you think about what you really want to attract into your life. Lisa tells her story so someone else won't have to go through this same ordeal or how to get out if your are in a crazy situation and don't know what to do. Then she gives step by step instruction on how to better your life. After listening to the audiobook you will also want to purchase the book for a ready reference when you need it. and you will not find this book in the half price book store I checked with them several times. This one is a keeper to learn all the concepts Lisa offers in this book.

I love THE SECRET!!! The book has changed my life. The book has taught me to see the world in a whole new way. While surfing through Amazon I came across this book, "NO MATTER WHAT". I promised myself that I am not going to buy any more self-help books after THE SECRET. Rather I would try to imbibe the teachings of the secret in my life. When I read the reviews of other customers I felt the urge to borrow the book from the public library. Reading the book was such an inspirational journey. Lisa is so frank and honest about her mistakes and how she rectified them, inspired me to order a copy of the audiobook from Amazon. I am enjoying the audiobook ever since. Her suggestions are so down-to-earth, easy to follow. I feel more motivated to follow her because her suggestions are NOT THEORETICAL, they are felt and lived by her. I love Lisa. Her life is an inspiration to me. Hope I could meet her in person some day. BUY THE BOOK, it will change you!!!!!

Lisa Nichols style of writing makes this book not only inspirational, but easy to read. The author reveals a lot about her own life and how she overcame her problems and obstacles in life. At the end of each chapter are inspired action steps and essential actions you can take and put into your own life to achieve the successful and fulfilling life you deserve.

Brought this after watching the secret, being UK I wasn't familiar with Lisa's work. The book is an excellent self help books, she thinks differently and expresses things clearly. Would recommend to anyone. Her you tube channel is also excellent

This book is incredible and has turned my life around. The way Lisa Nichols uses examples from her own life to explain her writings allows even someone in the most dire of situations believe that they have the power to turn their life around. The techniques described are effective and relatively simple to implement if you're willing to practice. I would definitely recommend this to a friend, in fact I have already bought this book for several of them!

Good read. Great instruction. I wouldnt say it was way better than other self-help books I've read. To be fair, I should add I never finished it but had it been a more interesting read, I probably would have.

Every time I read this it’s an eye openerEveryone needs this bookWould recommend highly
