Like a sucker punch...but a good one.
Amanda Stern isn't pretty and that's exactly why I love this book. She doesn't cover her narrator's co-dependency, depression, anger, rage (all the fantastic range of emotions) with cheapened exposition, precious images and sing-song prose. Rather, her prose is sharp, short and powerful and the dialogue or sometimes the lack thereof between the unnamed narrator and the "Alcoholic" really tells it ...

Worth the $16
I lived with my (now ex-)best friend in an apartment for two years during college and found out during that time that something is not right with her. She constantly either talks about herself or talks down about others and is always looking for attention. She actually admitted that she would rather people be mean to her than ignore her (I stopped talking to her after getting sick of her ...

This book is ostensibly about how to create a healthy, strong, loving relationship from an unhealthy, weak, destructive relationship. It is based on good solid research, combined with extended experience in couples counseling. It has some really amazing information in it. It will fight your ignorance about love.

Surviving, not thriving? There's hope for you..yes, you!
I bought "The Language of Letting Go" when facing major loss, thinking it was a book about handling grief. It was one of the best mistakes I ever made. I am more grateful for this single volume than for my entire library of 3,000 other books, and daily experience more benefit. Melody Beattie's book of meditations is a guidebook for life. It's about holding on to what is meaningful, and letting ...

Realistic and Powerful
One reading after another, I found myself saying, "Yes, that's how I feel," or "That has happened to me too." I felt understood and also challenged and encouraged. Taking care of myself physically, emotionally, and spiritually is important even in the middle of the draining and unpredictable situations involved in loving someone who abuses drugs or alcohol. Finding the end of my abilities in the ...

This book explains it all.
I have had trouble with a friend whom I expect has a problem with sex addiction and that is why I purchased this book. So far, I have read only the first 30 pages and already I can see that I have the right book. I can see all the behaviors and their explanations laid out right in front of me. I think this book is just the right tool to help me understand the problems that confront me.

An important new way of thinking about recovery
The yogic techniques Williams describes in "The Spiritual Recovery Manual" are practical and surprisingly down-to-earth, presented in a way that tends to resonate with everyday experience. These subtle mental and physiological roots of recovery provide valuable models for recovery not available in traditional, "Western" addiction/dependency literature. I admit that when I picked up the book, I ...
