ReviewsIn Newsweek magazine, Dr. Drew Pinsky named Melody Beattie's Codependent No More one of the four essential self-help books available today, calling it the "grandaddy of addiction tomes." "Melody Beattie is an American phenomenon....She understands being overboard, which helps her throw best-selling lifelines to those still adrift." --TIME

    Great Book

    Great book, for someone that wants to learn the tools to become stronger and more aware in dealing with people that use others for their own gain and end up leaving us damaged and feeling used. It also raises your self esteem and self worth, where you no longer need anyone's approval or acceptance, but yourself. Best investment you will ever make, if you read it and apply it to your everyday life, in dealing with people.

  • Most critical review

    Not as promised

    The book is good, but the cover is not as pictured and for being in "good" state, it is written all over, some pages only have 25-35 words not underlined or circled. I have bought lots of used books in the past - nothing like this. Should have bought it somewhere else

  • I am a big Melody Beattie fan. Great book and insights

    i just love Melody Beattie and have been following her for years. I read CoDependent No More many years ago but misplaced the book, so this is a replacement. And glad to get back into reading her insights and wonderful messages in this book as well as her experiences. Thank you Melody from one person in recovery to another.

  • Helpful to Those Consumed by Others Problems

    This book came quickly and arrived in good condition and was a very easy read. I read it over a weekend and was surprised how digestible the content was. Codependent No More was insightful in that it made me feel validated in ways I never have before by discussing different personal struggles while giving lists of typical behavior traits people with codependency exhibit and offered exercises to dive into my own experience with codependency. This book does well at not having a pity party and was a bit of a wake up call by discussing cycles of behavior I hadn't realized I participated in for years. It emphasizes an individual's responsibility in becoming (and continuing participation in being) codependent in a relationship and the aspects of closeness and intimacy that codependency ultimately will deprive a relationship of, such as raw honesty (vulnerability), boundaries, reflection, and self-esteem.

  • Co-Dependent No More.... and this book truly will help you get there.

    I ordered this book because I had previously read it from the library and consequently wanted a copy of my own. The content is so enlightening and self beneficial, it truly can be life changing. The copy I received was in perfect condition.... not even a pencil mark on it. This was great because my purpose of having my own copy was to be able to highlight and underline so many pertinent parts that applied to myself personally.

  • Great Book

    This book was exactly as described. I like reading used books better than the new ones. They have a softer feel to them. I would order from this shop owner again for sure!

  • Great read...

    It is definitely a great book. It will be the second time I’ve read it and owned a copy. If you are codependent or think you may be, you will benefit in many ways from reading this book.
