Editorial Reviews
Review
“Melody Beattie is an American phenomenon. . . . She understands being overboard, which helps her throw best-selling lifelines to those still adrift.”—TIME
“Codependent No More gave words to the masses who never had a way to describe these types of relationships in their lives . . . For so many, Melody’s book was a resource to help free themselves from something they may not have even recognized in their own lives—and 35 years later, it still is.”—Jen Hatmaker

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book well written, but it’s also a little hard to understand
Very good book I’ve never finished it, but it’s been slightly helpful and it’s well written
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book.
I have to say this book has really helped me with raising my grandson and son who have ADHD. Made me realize what an enabler I was with my older son who has many issues.
5.0 out of 5 stars 100% worthwhile book
My best friend gave me her copy years ago when I needed change badly. It changed my whole perspective. I’ve since given that copy on to someone else and then continued to purchase this book many times to gift whenever someone needs it. This book is truly a life changer if you’re receptive to understanding why you’ve been stuck in the same pattern.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous Book
I love this book! When I read the first few pages, I felt as if Melody Beattie was directly talking to me. Then I realized, I AM CODEPENDENT! Thank you Melody for writing this book. I'm finally able to find my joy.
Disapointed
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } I was so excited to read it with all the positive reviews but it was a waste of my money and time, shallow book, and lacked realistic and practical help, she author even says she is not an expert on the topic and it only talks about how to deal as a codependent of someone dealing with alcoholism... waste of my money..
Ultimate self help book for the lost
A lifeline when you think all is lost. Melody Beattie speaks lovingly, compellingly and reassuringly through her book offering guidance and hope to anyone who has experienced dysfunctional family life. She helps you to literally regain balance and sanity when one's world may be growing progressively crazier and difficult to cope with.When you feel alone, frightened, overwhelmed and lost...when you feel locked into isolation and believe yourself beyond human help...this book reaches out and lovingly leads you upward out of the dark abyss into sunshine...helping you understand powerful truths at integral levels and helping you discover that there is life beyond the painful chaos that has come to be your life.
A "prescription" for codependency in a book
Recommended by a counselor. Although it does talk quite a bit about being a spouse of alcoholic, it doesn't take away from the pervasive theme of the book: if you're allowing others to affect you so deeply that you forget who you are - you're codependent. That's my take on codependency. I didn't particularly agree with some concepts of what it means to detach, some of them came across as selfish however I think if you're detaching with integrity, and not throwing others under the bus or lack consideration for doing the right thing then it's ok. This part of the book requires a bit of critical thinking to get through. Overall, I think it's an excellent book, easy to read and follow and is helpful in my journey. It is helping me to get back to my baseline of how I used to be, prior to certain events; it's actually making me feel very calm and compassionate toward myself. Good excercises too. It's thought provoking but not mentally draining. Not much repetition, new concepts in each chapter.
It saved me. Thank you Ms. Beattie.
A coworker recommended this book to me, after witnessing my turmoil of constantly being taken advantage of professoinally and personally. She said, it opened her eyes.With doubts, I bought this book. I had just a little bit too much from everyone. I wanted to stop feeling like a victim. I did not understand why people think of me as a bitch, even after I did so much for just everybody and none for myself.This book, saved me.While devoting a significant portion to discussing substance codependence and dysfunctional relationships (between lovers, friends, families and any human beings), it showed me the most important lesson that I learned: be true to yourself. If there is something you do not like, say no. Do not say yes because you expect a certain behavior from the other person. What he/she does, is irrelevant. What is it that you want to do? And more importantly, what is it, that you do not want to do?Recognize that, and learn to respond to it.I do not have anyone in my life who is dependent on alcohol or any substance. But I have experienced the same disappointment when someone you love fails to act responsibly. I used to be angry, sad, depressed and still feel them for many different reasons. Feelings are fine. I have learned, after reading this book, how to react to my feelings.I don't know whether I would have understood this book 10 years ago. But I do now. If you feel the pain I used to feel (and sometimes still do, because it is a long way to recovery), please read this book. Please feel better and say no to people who take advantage of you. Please love yourself enough to be codependent no more.
Lifechanging
Great book, absolutely life changing. Written in the 80's but I think where it says 'Alcoholic' you could substitute the word 'Addict" or 'Narcissist' and it means the same. Very enlightening book.
