Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself by Melody Beattie

emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

I read this in the 80s when it was first published, and reading it again decades later is stunning. Clearly I didn’t absorb its lessons then. Hope I can now!  “I believe taking care of ourselves is an art, and this art involves one fundamental idea that is foreign to many: giving ourselves what we need.” (127)
