Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself

arrived quick - I skim thru it periodically - my own fault for not committing to reading it.

Great book

My dog literally destroyed my copy my mental health provider gave me and I found the book here. Arrived in perfect flawless condition! Arrived earlier than anticipated and I couldn't ask for a better experience replacing a very meaningful book! Thank you so much!

This book helped me get free from a toxic, draining relationship many years ago. This purchase was a gift to someone entangled in toxicity.

Helpful and fascinating. I have only read 2/3rds of it at this point, though...

Can't say enough good things about this book! I knew I was codependent, but didn't realize how much so. Mrs. Beattie opened my eyes to my own behavior and what I tolerate in others. I've begun a new journey to health and I'm so thankful for those who have walked the path before me and so vulnerably shared their stories. Great book!

Replaced one that I had loaned out. Still enjoy and need the benefits from it again

It is an excellent book. I am a nurse and I have let some of my patients read this book. It is very empowering. Great book.

This book has helped me take a look at the man I didn’t like. As I looked, I fell in love and since that day, my life has gotten better and better. The material in the boom helped me help myself. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to have better relationships.

Good book

great condition

Although I was never affected by addiction or compulsive disorder (and I originally misunderstood to whom this book was adressed oops), I greatly benefited from reading it! The contents were surprisingly, if not shockingly, insightful and really applicative for me, a person with anxiously preoccupied attachment. This was the first book I read to start my healing journey and I found it to be a smooth and nurtruring introduction. Especially helpful were the contents on detachment, the illusion of control and setting personal boundries. The author's warm, yet direct way of expression practically called me to reflect on my life's choices. When I started journaling to some of the prompts listed at the end of each chapter, it became very apparent to me which changes had to be made in my life. Moreover, the examples, experiences and stories shared by the author really highlighted the messages conveyed throughout the book and helped me to relate to them personally. Ultimately, I really did learn a lot. The book is well-written and very interesting to read. Though, if used for self-help, I recommend reading 1-2 chapters at a time and then taking some time to refelct. Not only can the contents be quite confrontational but also, the learning process will likely benefit if breaks are used for process, journal if not even to take action. Hope this helps.

So much becomes clear when reading this book. Thoughtfully explained.
