Publisher's summary

Learn how to value your own opinion over those of others. Codependency books are perfect for those of us who live as if what other people think matters more than what we think. This thinking leads to constantly trying to please or even to change others. Codependent behaviors can have negative effects on us and those around us, even leading to a dysfunctional family. It can be difficult to say no to those we love.

A codependency book on improving your life through boundaries and peace. Karen Casey, best-selling author of Let Go Now and Each Day a New Beginning, has had her own experience with codependent behavior, and she is here to share what she has learned along the way. Through her own stories and the stories of those she has met through Al Anon meetings and elsewhere, she shows you how to detach from unhealthy codependency, create more positive relationships and, ultimately, lead a less stressful life.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

  • Recognize and acknowledge your own attachments and codependency
  • Set boundaries, find peace, and engage in healthy detachment
  • Nurture positive relationships with the people in your life - both new and old

Advert for Al-anon

This book is basically just recommending that everyone join Al-anon. it tells other people's stories of success and that they used al-anon to heal and learn important principles in healing. I think it is great that all the success stories are doing better. I was more interested in a slef-help book than a 4+ hour advertisement for al-anon.

Al anon /AA propaganda

More stories of people in al-anon and AA, than actual advice. If you are looking for practical tips besides just “go to AA meetings”, this isn’t the book for you.

P.U.

This is not a good book for me. it gives a lot of anecdotes, but turns right around and misses the point in my opinion.

Not impressed

Based on the great reviews, I was genuinely disappointed. It was more focused on telling the stories of people who were alcoholics or related to/partners of alcoholics (each chapter was a persons story) instead of practical tips to incorporate in your life to practice detachment.

Mostly about alcoholics

I was hoping to find a book about codependency and not mostly about alcoholism. Mine is not tied to that and therefore this was mostly useless to Me.
