Rating: Summary: A lifeline Review: I'll admit it -- I read this book through a crisis and a time of life that saw transitions everywhere. And while I'm still reeling from pain, and disbelief of the events that have happened to me in the past few years, I am already so much better from reading this book.When I find myself tempted by defeating behaviors, reading one passage reminds me why I don't want to continue down that road any longer. The funny thing is, I never saw myself as a codependent or as an addictive person. It doesn't matter what type of turmoil you're going through -- this book WILL remind you of a better way of life. It truly is a lifeline. I keep a copy at work and am discovering I'll need one at home to. If you struggle with any type of negativity, this book can help remind you that it's really going to be okay.
Rating: Summary: Everyone should own a copy of this book. It's a lifesaver. Review: I'm thankful every day for the friend who gave me this book when I became ill. I will certainly pass it on to all the people I care about, because no matter what is happening in your life, there's probably something of interest for you in this book. Melody Beattie is a gift!
Rating: Summary: This book is a constant companion... Review: I, too, have used this book over the years. It is my favorite recovery book as it not only has a topical index but I can let the book fall open to any meditation and it is just for me. It has helped me to celebrate my clean and sober life in a positive and upbeat fashion, for which I am very grateful. I have also shared passages with peers not yet in recovery and it has helped them, too. This fall I will be ordering the book as a Christmas gift for my employer.
Rating: Summary: Letting Go Review: It is wonderful to start the day with meditations aimed at guiding us through our recovery process. Melody's experiences are inspiring and uplifting.
Rating: Summary: MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW Review: Melody Beattie's book "The Language Of Letting Go" is a tender caring work of art. Gently she speaks to the spirit inside of us and lets us know that it is ok to be ourselves. Something most of us are not use to doing, something we need to be allowed to do. Her words are those of one who has tasted of the emotions that she shares and her advise is like sweet honey to the reader. Sometimes what we need is just someone to say, it's ok to be you! The author does this and more. A very well written meditation book that will soothe many that read the words between the covers of this work. Recommended!
Rating: Summary: Excuse this second hand review Review: My husband was going through a very difficult period last year. Being a librarian I have access to *lots* of self-help books, and brought him a wide variety to read. He says this one helped him the most.
Rating: Summary: AUTHOR REVIEW - FIVE STARS Review: The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie is an excellent tool for anyone who wants to work through the painful process of ending a relationship. I highly recommend this book! John D. Moore, MS, CADC --- Author of Confusing Love with Obsession
Rating: Summary: A must-read for all co-dependants Review: The Language of Letting Go is the most gentle, yet inspiring, meditation book I have found. The author provides page after page that nudges the reader to become his or her best self. I would recommend this book to anyone with issues of co-dependancy; read it religiously and the words will change your life.
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.
