The 365 quotes that begin each day's entry range from African proverbs to wisdom from Oprah Winfrey, Malcolm X, Terry McMillan, Bill Cosby, Rosa Parks, Spike Lee, Marian Wright Edelman, Alice Walker, and Martin Luther King, Jr., among hundreds of other diverse and accomplished people of African descent. And each day's entry covers a new topic: Love, Anger, Pride, Dieting, Stress, Stereotypes, Power, and Success are just a few! From the daily inspirations, author Eric V. Copage suggests meditations and specific actions that will help readers boost their spirits -- and achieve their dreams.

Daily Meditations & Affirmations
Read affirmations daily. It’s a good practice to read at the start or end of your day. Gifted this book to family and friends.
Nice...
This book is a nice book to have but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. This book list for each day of the year an assigned reading. I was more so looking for in depth readings, but I would suggest this book to anyone that wants to carry with them a daily thought for the day.
Universally Uplifting
This book provides soul fuel and encouragement to anyone, regardless of ethnicity or cultural background.

great buy for the money
Daily Reading
I have had this book since 1993 when the book was released (yes, I still own and read the original copy everyday). I just purchased this book for two young ladies, my daughter and my friend's daughter that is college bound. I love this book and it is a daily reminder that something special lives inside each of us.

So Great I Bought It Twice!
I love this book! I've had it in paperback for years. I purchased it again so I would have it with me daily wherever I go so I would always be able to read the devoition for the day. Great book! Very helpful with reaching goals, and keeping life in perspective.
