Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now Review: This book has a lot of good advice and much wisdom - One of the most memorable stories on this audio cassette (and in the book as well) is where Maya tells what her Mama (grandmother) would do when a known-whiner would come into their general store in Stamps, Arkansas. Mama would call for Maya, saying, "Sister, come over here." When the "whiner" came in, Mama would ask them "How are you doing?" and the whiner would launch into a lengthy complaint about the weather and work and other things. After this whiner left the store, Mama would turn to Maya and say "Sister, nobody likes to listen to someone who whines and complains..." and she'd tell Maya that there were lots of people - black and white, rich and poor - who went to bed last night and never woke up this morning, who'd give almost anything to have one more day of work or one more day in the summer's heat. And the summation - "Sister, if you don't like something, change it. And if you can't change it, change the way you think about it." This is a powerful book/audio tape. And it is narrated by Maya Angelou, which makes it even more of a treasure. I'd highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve the way they think about life. Review: Fantastic book - This is a collection of short but powerful pieces. It is well worth reading. I will most likely read it again and again over the years. Good wisdom from an amazing human being. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #39,591 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #92 in Essays (Books) #114 in Black & African American Biographies #348 in Women's Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,109) | | Dimensions | 4.17 x 0.36 x 6.82 inches | | Edition | Reissue | | ISBN-10 | 0553569074 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0553569070 | | Item Weight | 2.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | October 1, 1994 | | Publisher | Bantam | ## Images ![Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Fn+LJaieL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book has a lot of good advice and much wisdom *by R***N on June 2, 2000* One of the most memorable stories on this audio cassette (and in the book as well) is where Maya tells what her Mama (grandmother) would do when a known-whiner would come into their general store in Stamps, Arkansas.

It is well worth reading. I will most likely read it again and again over the years. Good wisdom from an amazing human being. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must *by W***S on April 12, 2017* Excellent!! I've recommended this to teachers and school counselors - in fact I've given my copy away to a teacher. Great to quick short stories that are a page or two but packed with though provoking tales. The power of a short story is incredible and students could really learn that for their college essays. I had it in my car to read while I waited for my kids so it was nice to have a few minutes pick up a book and read something very interesting and be done and not feel defeated because I only go through a couple pages in a chapter. I didn't mention much about Maya Angelou but she is a must have in your library! If you haven't read anything by her, start here!
