Summary: The Real McCoy
Review: This is the one that started it all and changed the way we communicate, act and treat co-dependent relationships. The book was a breakthrough when it first came out, and it is still an invaluable resource and guidebook. Extremely helpful

Summary: If you are really ready for some change...
Review: Until recently, I didn't even know that I was in a completely codependent relationship. I was unhappy but I had no idea how to break out of it. Then I figured out that I was with the wrong person... I found a new person but after a while I figure out that it was the wrong person again. I was just changing my partners but my relationships were more or less the same. After reading this inspiring book, I finally realized that I had something to do with the problem. I stopped blaming other people and began looking into myself. It was then that my life really began to make a positive change. This book was the catalyst for this change. After a while, I read another superb book called, "The Ever-Transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato and I began seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. It provided me a purpose in life and the motivation to move on beyond my codependency and into a whole other level of human functioning. It is a tough thing to deal with your own issues inside but it is the only way out. There are no other doors so you might as well face that direction and move. Otherwise we just stay there forever in our misery. Though there is some comfort in the familiarity of that misery, I have decided that it is time for me to move on. If you feel that it is time for you to move on, then I suggest you read books like this. It certainly helped me so hopefully they will have something useful for you.
