The Language of Letting Go

Rating:
Summary: This Book has been a Blessing for me.
Review: The Language of Letting Go was recommended to me by my husband's rehab counselor in 1994. I've read it cover-to-cover twice and have since bought at least 6 copies for friends and family. Don't start at the beginning. Flip through the book and let grace lead you to the inspirations and encouragement you need. I know recovering alcoholics who rave about this terrific handbook. If you're looking for a book to start you on your path to sanity or one that will nudge to along when the going is grey, this is it.

Summary: Very very insightful
Review: This book gives words of wisdom and meditations/affirmations for the co-dependent for each day of the calendar year. It's like having your very own therapist on your nightstand at your fingertips at all times. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because of the multiple references to God and your Higher Power. If you're into that, it's a 5-star book, if you're not, just improvise. The book's worth it.

If you have reached a point in your life where you`re unhappy with the results of your present strategies and feel it is time for a dramatic change this book will be a brilliant companion, giving you a boost of confidence and compassion for your Self.
I am looking forward to "more meditations" and continuing my daily little ritual.

Summary: Help for the Hopeless
Review: This book has been a life saver and sanity saver for me the past two years. Just when I'd think I was hopelessly disfunctional, I would pick up this book and read something uplifting, profound or comforting. It is based on great spiritual values, yet never crams any dogma douwn your throat. The book lets you explore spirituality in your own way, at your own pace. It should be required reading for everyone!

Summary: I love this book and all of her books.
Review: This book helped me get enough courage to leave an abusive relationship. I would open the book, and it seemed as though every page spoke to me personally. There is a gentleness in her writing that calms the troubled mind. I have purchased all of her books and highly recommend this one for gift giving.

Summary: One of the most helpful, wise books I have ever read
Review: This book is more than wonderful in it's wisdom, gentle strength, affirmation of self and deft perceptions. It has offered much sage, useful and worthwhile nuggets of pure lovliness and hope. I have started 2 different groups that use this book to discuss and make big changes in their life. Melodie Beattie certainly knows of what she speaks -- and her knowledge/wisdom resonates with many.

Summary: The Language of Letting Go
Review: This book of meditations gives you inspirational thoughts to begin your day with. A must read for anyone dealing with codependancy issues. In her words, Melody Beattie gives me a spoonful of wisdom every morning; a tonic to support me all day! For those busy people who don't have time: Slow down, relax, and take 5 minutes a day to do yourself some good!

Summary: Tells you what it really means to let go!
Review: This book tells you what it really means to let go and what happens if you truly let go. Many times we think we have let go of something in our heads but we are just in denial. Our heart has not really let go. This book has helped me overcome some of the most painful experiences in my life. If you want to really understand what letting go means, I'd also recommend "The Ever-transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. After you read this book by Toru, you will feel very free and understand how life is actually quite simple and extremely beautiful.

Summary: A Book to Live By
Review: This book was incredibly inspiring and helpful. It is the first self-help, take-control-of-your-life book that has ever really worked for me. I bought it at a time of turmoil when the deaths of several people close to me had me in a very *down* state of mind. I have also found it valuable in dealing with other people, not necessarily my own problems--of course, other people can be one's problems. Beattie manages to give us thoughts to live by in a non-religious yet spiritual context that is very appealing and very practical.
