Publisher's summary

After a seven-year hiatus, internationally acclaimed Human Magnet Syndrome author Ross Rosenberg once again significantly impacts the mental health community with his unparalleled creation of "The Codependency Revolution: Fixing What Was Always Broken."

The Codependency Revolution exposes the shadow side of a field that has always been lost, never established credibility, and, without bad intentions, hurt far more people than it has helped. It provides compelling insights on a complex, frequently misunderstood topic while offering a historical explanation for why he is "fixing what has always been broken." Forty-three percent longer than its predecessor, it covers every aspect of codependency, thereby solidifying its position as the most comprehensive resource on this widely misunderstood subject. It is as warm, sincere, and enlightening as comprehensive.

Rosenberg's masterpiece work draws significant inspiration from his personal struggles with codependency and his decades-long dedication to providing specialized codependency therapy. The book is poised to have a profound, far-reaching influence worldwide. It will offer a lifeline to individuals grappling with codependency and empower and guide mental health practitioners with new insights and approaches. The Codependency Revolution is not just an extraordinary book but, more importantly, a catalyst for change.

Good try, but the original Human Magnet Syndrome was better

This book is a missed opportunity for Ross to reach a wide readership. It is basically a list of all the different types of codependent profiles, all the different type of narcissist profiles, and how “evil” and conspiratorial narcissists are- when this just paints an us and them picture which is unhelpful.

As someone who is on a long road to recovery from SLDD, this book should be revised to:
(1) highlight more stories and scenarios- instead of just listing items. Most of the book went in one ear and out the other, because it lacked storytelling (especially scenarios) to make concepts stick.
(2) highlight that there are pathways to family recovery other than divorce (provided that the narcissist is not a +5). If someone is struggling in a -4 and +4 relationship, with a narcissist who is repentant and genuinely willing to get help to be better and bring the relationship into a more balanced -2 to +2, same as the CoD is doing work, then there is hope. But it MUST to be driven by the CoD to avoid the narcissist hijacking it and going back to the old ways of control/gaslighting. If there is a new Sherriff in town then the CoD must stick to being the Sherriff. It requires a lot of mental discipline.
(3) highlight more obviously the damaging effect that both SLDD and PNARCsm have on children- and the importance of sorting out both of your issues ASAP to avoid damaging the next generation. You are both to blame equally. You both need to own 100% responsibility for 100% of the problem (ie 200% responsibility for the whole problem!).
(4) Ross should have talked more about his personal experiences or potentially those of his clients to put into context the inter generational nature of the two disorders. It takes two to tango. He covered more of this in his HMS book, which I preferred. His online video series (like 20hours or some the info of lectures) was very instructive and gave me a path forwards.
(5) All of your subscribers, readers and I’m sure your clients value your work, Ross. But as an SLDD yourself, the only way you can get your work accepted and published as a recognised disorder by the narcissists who control the DSM, is to stop making it about “my great work” and “no one else had thought of this”. While both of these statements are true, it won’t get it where we all need it- so try making it their idea! A bit more Dale Carnegie and a bit less “look at me, please praise me, oh great narcissist”!
(6) Remember, to be at the top of anything or any business/industry (except as maybe a scientist, engineer, inward facing or non leadership role) you need to be, or routinely act as at least a +3- by definition (with the most successful CEOs being +4 or +5) because it has to be about your achievement/dominance. This needs to be highlighted in the book- more focus on the scale system, as it’s really useful. Look at how SLDD and NARCs can get the most out of life.
(7) more work on how to spot narcissists quickly (eg a narcissist will always say “I put other people first” while a CoD will say “I can be a bit selfish”).
(8) make this book helpful to your readers as opposed to a dissertation.
