There isn’t a Melody Beattie book I don’t love, but this one is definitely my favorite. If you grew up in any kind of dysfunctional family (hint: parents expecting perfection counts) or a parent/sibling/close friend/boss/child struggled with an addiction or disorder or has a mental illness such as narcissism, this book will be salve on your ruffled feathers and give YOU your peace back. There are so many wonderful “activities” and helpful tools. There’s a string of self-help books I rotate (I listen to whichever one is up for about an hour a day while driving in the morning and waiting in my car) and find I slide this one in more often than the others. It may be the best self-help book on the planet. Lindsay Nixon                                                                                          rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Exactly what I needed! Why did it take me so long to read this book? I have heard about it over the years but never picked it up. I guess this was the time I was meant to read it. Let go and let God. My mantra…….. I feel like we are ALL codependent , I couldn’t help thinking of all the people I know that need to read this book. Ha that’s me being co depend at !!! Even bought one for my sister …… Now if she would just read it! It’s a process I know ……..

This is an amazing self-help book for anyone in a codependent situation, whether it be alcohol, drugs, trauma, gambling, etc, or even emotionally abusive relationships. I read it through once but I have to do it again because I know I didn’t take it all in, I was just so amazed to be reading a book seemingly written just for me. Now, obviously your average person wouldn’t need it and wouldn’t rate it a 5. But I will get lots from this, and I just know it will improve my life… Stephanie                                                                                               rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

A good read for anyone who has ever had a less-than-healthy relationship with a parent, child, friend, boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, spouse, etc. (basically most people) The core of codependency is about having a dysfunctional relationship with the self, and how we turn that outwards onto others. This book is a good first step to discovering the the dynamics, and making changes to healing.
