Codependent No More: How to Stop Controlling Others and Start Caring for Yourself Audiobook

" This book was a great help. "

" I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS MORE THAN HER OTHER BOOKS, THIS IS THE ONE THAT PEOPLE MOST OFTEN REFER TO AND IS THE MOST WORTH READING. THIS IS BASED ON THE 12 STEP PROGRAM AND IS A GREAT STEP INTRODUCTION INTO THE CONCEPT OF CODEPENDENCY. I AM NOT SURE I FOUND THIS BOOK ESPECIALLY HELPFUL. I DID GET MORE OUT OF THE BOOK BOUNDARIES MENTIONED BY ANOTHER REVIEWER IN TERMS OF PERSONAL IMPROVEMENT. BUT, I AM GLAD THAT I LISTENED. "

" I think my expectations were higher on this book than what I was hearing. I gave it many chapters before giving up and looking for a different codependent approach for me. Boundaries was it! By Dr. Henry cloud and Dr. John Townsend! "

" Very helpful! "

" Great information, but glad it's over. "

" Codependent is my middle name so I was eager to read this book and learn how to control my co-dependency. Sadly I found the book poorly written, dated and riddled with references to god. "

" Despite constant typographical errors, I thought this book was very well written with good insight as to why some people behave the way they do. "

" Found this really helpful. I bet it could help you, too. In fact, I will loan you my copy. Even if you don't want it. Or I could buy it for you, even though I can't afford it. Don't walk away! I'll give you $20 if you read it. I know it will help you. You need help. Don't worry about me. I'm fine. Now. "

" This book will probably help a lot of people but it is mostly dedicated to people living with alcoholics. It shows a long list of examples but didn't give general explanations that could be useful. "

" Outstanding. Approach it with an open mind and heart. "

" very good in the field. A lot of New Age.....but again....anything by her is very uplifting and well done "

" This booked helped me a lot. I was dealing with a drug addicted mother who was very difficult to help...this book helped me realize that was on her not me! "

" Such a wonderful resource "

" This is the codependents bible. It was good for me to read it again. "

" Holy crap! This book should be one of those that comes with a warning label: "This will change your life." Excellent insight, written very lay-person friendly, to touches to the core of so many things that many of us struggle with on a daily basis. "

" This book helped me so much. It made me feel like I wasn't crazy or alone, and I was able to make real positive changes in my life thanks to it. So good! I'm ordering all of her books now. "

" Glad I reread it. Gets clearer every time. "

" A very insightful book! Easy to read, easy to understand, easy to incorporate what I learned from this book into my life. Quite beneficial!! "

" Loved this book. Only complaint: relies too heavily on 12-step programs. "

" For those of you who think you can save the world, save yourself first and read this. Read this while my daughter was in drug rehab. A must read!!! "

" What I learned in this book FREE'd me! "

" Honestly? Life changing. I'll buy you a copy. Read this. "

" Liked it a lot the first time around, (originally suggested by a therapist), reading it in spots again.. "

" This book is applicable to almost everyone I know. "

" This book helped me when I was 23 to begin to make sense of my life and why I chose to do the things I was doing. Finally.....a reason why I was so screwed up!!! "

" I find myself going back to this book at important junctures throughout my life. It's amazing how I seem to get more out of it everytime. I pick it up whenever I feel like I can handle hard personal reflection. The New Year seemed an appropriate time... "

" it doesn't sound like the book you should read but it is... "

" I found out that the word codependent doesn't mean what I thought it meant. A very helpful book for any parent. It helped me see the line between what is and what is not my responsibility when it comes to getting others to behave the way I think they should. "

" This was my 2nd time around for this book - this time on audio. Very good stuff in hear for those of use with these issues! "

" It turns out that trying to control other people kind of sucks. A great read for anyone who spends a good deal of time thinking that they can control other people's actions. "

" Book is flat out amazing, not only helped me realize a lot about myself, I was able to pass it on to other family members and helped them too' "

" Answered lots of questions about myself I had been asking for years.... "

" Pretty good nuggets of wisdom in here "

" This is a classic and a great place to start when learning about codependency. "

" This book was so boring; it took me 6 years to finish. "

" At first I hated it. Then I softened up a bit. By then end I was loving it. "

" One of the best books ever written. If you find yourself always doing for others and never doing for yourself, then this is a must read. It is definately one of the BEST self help books out there. "

" This was my 2nd time around for this book - this time on audio. Very good stuff in hear for those of use with these issues! "

" Read about half of it and got the gist. Good read for people who are too dependent on others. A bit repetitive. Aimed mostly at spouses of alcoholics. "

" Basically an advertisement for Twelve-Step programs, this book is loaded with marginally useful anecdotes and filler, but its simple advice does live up to its title. "

" eye-opening, and a little disheartening. I have a long road ahead. I finished this book and it was very good. It has a lot of wonderful information in there that helped me figure some things out. I loved it! "
