An inspiring and illuminating guide to true self care, from the sage teacher and breakout star of the critically acclaimed drama, Queen Sugar, from Executive Producers Oprah Winfrey and Ava DuVernay for OWN.

Featured on Essence Magazine's Culture List

In all your years of schooling, did you ever take a single class that explained how to navigate the hurt, drama, and fear that come with living? Tina Lifford sure didn’t. She learned the hard way―through experience as both a Hollywood actress and as the founder of the personal development network The Inner Fitness Project. Now, she brings together her own hard-won insights as well as those of her clients in this helpful and transformative guide. A blend of personal anecdotes and meaningful, practical―and most important, actionable―advice, The Little Book of Big Lies is the life skills class you need to nurture the inner you and move beyond the past.

In fourteen raw, personal stories, Tina teaches you how to change your self-perception―to see yourself in the best possible light, to love and honor what you see, and to forge a new sense of what’s possible in every aspect of your life. But make no mistake, The Little Book of Big Lies is not a “rah-rah” quick fix for fear and pain. Like physical fitness, building and maintaining emotional strength requires continued effort. This invaluable book is the foundation you need to start building inner health and well-being so you can thrive.

Tina guides you on a journey of self-discovery that will help you turn shame into self-acceptance, self-rejection into self-love, blame into freedom, and old hurt into power. Wise and powerful, The Little Book of Big Lies will completely change how you think and live.

Review

“In, The Little Book of Big Lies, Beloved Tina Lifford proves herself to be an "inner workout" coach.  So many things we accept as truth simply aren't. So many things that we accept without question, stunt our growth.  If you are ready to work through some lies that may be holding you back, give this little book a big read.” — Rev. Dr. Iyanla Vanzant, Spiritual Life Coach, Host, Iyanla Fix My Life

“This little book is overflowing with the wisdom, vitality, truth telling and magic that could only be called Tina Lifford.” — Eve Ensler author of The Vagina Monologues and The Apology

“From the moment I met Tina Lifford, I knew this beautiful woman had a gift. She is profoundly wise and has the most gentle, reassuring voice. As she takes us through her life lessons in The Little Book of Big Lies, she helps guide our path to a better understanding of ourselves. I’m now an Inner Fitness devotee, and you will be too after reading this gem-filled book.”  — Shaun Robinson, founder of the S.H.A.U.N. Foundation, producer, and author of Exactly As I Am

Lifford’s sage lessons will be an antidote to poisonous thoughts for those with battered self-esteem. — Publishers Weekly

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

No one escapes. We all have leftover childhood confusion and hurt. I call these experiences lies when they distort lessen our idea of who we really are. I feel about the hurtful lies we all live with the way I feel about a pair of shoes that hurt my feet: It’s time to pack them up and drop them off at the Goodwill. But before we can banish hurtful lies and misconceptions from our life, and make room for something new, we must learn to clearly see the lies that hide in our lives causing self-doubt, self-rejection and self-neglect. Once we can see the lies that push us around we can tell our Self (with a capital “S”) the truth: “I am more than any lie that has ever entered my life.”

This book is phenomenal. I tend to steer clear of your run of the mill “self help” books because they tend to be so chock full of common quips and lack depth and practicality. This book is a story. It is a glimpse into Tina’s life and experiences. It is a showing of hurdles we need to overcome for life long healing. Each chapter entails actionable strategies we can incorporate in our lives in order to grow into our esteemed, higher selves. I want to treat it again and have everyone I love read it. It’s therapy in book form.

I am so happy that I discovered this book!!

This was exactly what I needed right now, at this stage of my spiritual journey, awakening, and path to self love and healing…

I highly recommend this book if you are ready to let go of the lies that you’ve believed about yourself that come from childhood, painful experiences and the ego!

It has left me feeling empowered and worthy of the life that envision I can have. I took many notes and have shared them with other.

I am grateful for this inner fitness journey!!!

I listened to one of Tina’s interviews 4 times before deciding to purchase. I was unsure about purchasing the book initially but-wow! Captivating. This book is allowing me to unlock the truth to so many stories I’ve been told as well as ones I was unaware of. If you are looking to reach your highest potential, this book is without a doubt the one for you! I am an avid reader and have not come across one so personable yet so honest. It’s as if it were written for me. Every word quenches a thirst in your soul. Tina delivers the truth so carefully, with love, then gives you a hug. This is a book to refer to often. It will change your life. I highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonder full little/big huge book!
Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2019

What an incredibly valuable education in one small book. Author Tina Lifford breaks down our life challenges, things we learned early on in various ways that have turned out to be wonky in terms of giving us the lives we dream of and that we deserve, in order to live fulfilled and joyful, free from struggle and deeply peaceful. The last book of this type I read was by revered Buddhist teacher Pema Chodron, who writes beautifully and understandably, and I actually find The Little Book to be also beautifully written and it goes beyond to detail simple actions to begin while reading to interrupt ways we’ve been thinking and doing our whole lives “up until now.” I attended the same Spiritual Psychology program Tina refers to here and this feels like such a natural and powerful extension of this already powerful and lovely information. I’m saying this here and everywhere because I think you’ll thank me, and so will everyone you know when you tell them about your experience with this wonder full little/big, huge book.♥︎

The book had me intrigued from the beginning. Initially I thought she could have shared more of her experience and challenges with her inner fitness. But as I continued through the book layers were revealed to me. This book is awesome. I feel like it should have an accompanying journal, it is something to always reference. Tina did a beautiful job at revealing and transforming our minds. Inner fitness will be a continuous journey for me thanks to this book. It was graceful, delicate yet challenging.

I really enjoyed this book. I find that it's hard to tell it all and I got that perspective from reading this book. Another poster mentioned that he/she felt Ms. Lifford was "making it up as she went along". I believe that it is hard to tell the whole story, regardless of how many pages one can fill up with aspects of his/her life. Ms. Lifford discusses the lies we tell ourselves and then offers solutions on how to turn it around. She also offers an Inner Fitness Workout, which consists of 8 sessions, for a low fee (investing in yourself is always a WIN) but also a Wellness Wednesday session in which the community comes together and talks about working toward a thriving and infinite self. I think the book was great, Ms. Lifford is such a beautiful soul and i'm doing the work to become my thriving and infinite self. THANK YOU MS. TINA!! Love you!!

Tina Lifford shares, real-life experiences and tools that can change how you see, feel, explore, react, and move on to life issues and untruths. I've been on a journey seeking the tools and thinking habits I could use to help me overcome some untruths. After reading nearly 30 self-help books over the past 30 years, Tina Lifford, The Little Book of Big Lies book is what I consider as "THE BOOK" to read (absolutely at the top of the list of must-reads)

The first 21 pages changed the trajectory of my life; it connected all of my transformations into one beautiful reality. It unlocked and released the pages in my life story that held me hostage, only offering a peek at freedom; now, I live in my truth, and I'm no longer held hostage to the BIG LIES. Thank Ms. Tina Lifford. from LaTanya J.

This is one of the best books I've read in a while. I normally take a while to finish books because I get distracted and end up forgetting about it for a while, but this book made me want to keep reading because from start to finish it was filled with so many good points and definitely kept me fully engaged. I feel like I could read this again very soon and still get even more insight from it. She presents so many new ways to think about our life experiences and gain new perspective. I plan on gifting this book to some friends, its too good to not share with others!
