Synopsis

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, bestselling 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

Goodreads review by Carrie

This book is dated and mistitled. Wouldn't you think you'd learn how to set boundaries based on the title? I did. No, this is a collection of stories of people who've dealt with co-dependency and alcoholism. It felt like one big advertisement on how AA and Al-Anon has worked for others. I don't have m......more

Goodreads review by Laura

I stopped reading about halfway through because each story or vignette is similar to the one before it. Once you've read a few there's no reason to read on. There are some inspiring stories from people who have used the power of detachment to stop enmeshment in other people's lives. However, there i......more

I think this is a good book for individuals new to learning about codependency and seeing similarities to other's situations in a simplied manner. Casey offers different stories of experience, strength, and hope that focuses heavily on dealing with a loved ones alcoholism. There a some nuggets of in......more
