The Language of Letting Go by Melody Beattie (1990, Paperback)

This book is a great daily devotional. It is very helpful for most of us that have codependent relationships. It reminds us each day the importance of taking time for ourselves. I have given it to my married children to remind them that they are important each and every day!

I ordered this book as it was used in a class that I attended after having some 'troubled' times. Some days it is as if the book speaks to me. I find it uplifting, inspirational and sometimes ever comforting as I know there are others in this world that are having the same issues as me. I even bought it for my sister-in-law in hopes it would help her deal with some of her issues.

I like having a daily meditaion to start my day. I have usd another but needed a change.... I have been going through a tough break up and this book has been very helpful.

I have owned about 20 copies of this book, which I continue to give to friend or someone in need. I highly recommend this tremendous written book, which has a theme for every day to read and work on. It relates to how we cope with LIFE. The ups the downs, family issues, job issues, people issues, how we have power in our decisions, in how look at life. Situations, good and bad are all a part of life. It's how we cope with it that makes all the difference in the world.

An empowering book, that gives the reader just enough for one day to work on themselves and make their life better and make one stronger :)

This daily meditation book is probably the most profound I've read. It addresses issues of setting limits with others and how to "let go" when the behavior of others is upsetting. As a mental health counselor, I recommend this book to all of my clients.

This is my second copy of this book. I gave the first one to someone else who needed it. I have read many devotional, inspirational and recovery books over the years. I love this one because there is a little nugget for each day. Not preachy or idealistic. Just encouraging, supportive, uplifting and helpful. I am usually amazed at the way the reading for the day is just what I need and have been struggling with. It takes just a minute or two to read in the morning and it often helps me through my entire day. I find myself reading from it and quoting it to others who need encouragement and just the right thing to get them over a hump in their emotional and spiritual life. In my opinion, this is a must have if you want to get past the issues in your life that have been tripping you up and stopping you from living a happy life.

This is a book with essays for each day about letting go of things beyond our control and taking charge of things that we can change. I first encountered this book in my support group and enjoyed it so much that I purchased a copy on eBay. I recently purchased another copy because I gave my original copy to my sister-in-law when I was there for a visit. There is an essay on denial that I read before each family gathering because it helps remind me to take care of myself and not try to "fix" everyone else.

I love this mediation because it shows me the TRUTH about the relationships in my life. I am grateful that with Melody's help, I am learning - very slowly - how to let go one day at a time.

I have read this book several times and given many copies as gifts. For someone who is interested in recovery from unhelpful ways of coping with life this book is wonderful. The best I can describe it is like a small spoon of medicine each day toward mental and emotional wellness. I like Melody Beattie's straightforward and honest approach to examining oneself and taking responsibility for making it better.

These daily pages include truth about rearranging your thoughts and actions to build a healthy life.
I love this book!

It is a little syrupy and seems to be directed toward women. So far only half on the daily meditations are "up my alley".

Item was exactly as described. Shipped promptly.
Fairly priced good condition. I do not have one hundred characters of reveiesw

This is a great book, on codependency,,,,,,,,,,It teaches you to love yourself, and draw boundaries,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Life gets easier and more serene...........

This is a valuable piece of information for those who are trying to find out who they are. I have found so many thoughts that I never even considered about myself. I find that I am thinking of boundaries and ways to live a much healthier, freer life. My relationships have gotten healthier and I have let go of toxic beliefs and relationships that just weren't working.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is wanting to grow in having a healthier mindset.

I was looking for the book, several copies exist, with a little different take.
I could not find this one in the book stores and found it here.

The Language of Letting Go teaches you how to stop controlling others...which most of the time you can't do anyway...and how to take more control and responsibility fro your own life.
Being Co-dependent for most of my life from a childhood that knew no bounderies, expectations and never having any security or stability...I had to learn to try and control my surroundings and hopefully everything that happened to me and those that might harm me. What happens as an adult is that it no longer works and we must realize that we cannot always be in control of what happens to us and how others will treat us. What this books teaches you is how to control how you treat others and accept the things you cannot control in your life. this book literally turned my life around and set me free! Do we ever get free from rotating old and useless behaviors...perhaps not...but we can learn to catch them faster and change them quickly with the information in this book! So if you find yourself in any co-dependent situations and behaviors...do yourself and your friends/family a favor...BUY THIS BOOK!

The book was in excellent condition and the price was very reasonable. As with most things on e-bay, I don't understand why shipping and handling is so costly.

I purchased this book because a friend recommended it. It is very inspirational and the layout of the book is easy to read. I like that you can read one each day throughout the year and start all over again come the new year. It is a book that you can read over and over to reinforce the inspiration and down right good old common sense.

Ten years ago or so I purchased this book through a co-dependents 12-step program. It has taken me through many a stressful time. When I see someone else suffering or having the characteristics of co-dependency I purchase a copy of this book, "The Language of Letting Go" for them. I'm thankful that it's available on EBay. I usually can get it for a lower price & sometimes the used ones are more fun because highlighted sections are interesting to look at.

purchased as a gift for a friend., love this book, have had my own copy of this book and found the daily meditations, great for personal growth and recovery.

Sensible. Makes sense. thought provoking with real life situations. Gives me something to think about and use with each reading.
