My husband and I read a page a day in the morning for a couple of years. It's okay. I don't think I'd classify myself as codependent, but I enjoyed the affirmations anyway - they made good sense. And it's fun to read something with another and then discuss it. ( ) This is a nice collection of meditations, one for each day of the year. It is a good rehash of the bulk of what was said in [book: Codependent No More] and [book: A Codependent's Guide to the Twelve Steps]. A lot of the time it was actually far easier to read than both of those, in fact. Every idea was distilled down to its most basic - to be read in a couple of minutes while drinking coffee or tea, and then meditated on for the rest of the day. The book loses some impact when read cover to cover, but I actually found it occupying a nice spot in the back of my mind all the same. Did I take the time to think before I spoke today? Did I take the time to review the events of the day at least once and think of what I did well, and what I could improve tomorrow? Did I procrastinate? The book is really great, honestly. It could help just about anyone pause and reconsider their actions, then alter them a little it each day to make the world a better, more positive place. [author: Melody Beattie] has a very approachable writing voice, and that shines through even in this volume. I'm very glad I was recommended her last year, and I'm honestly a bit sad I've now read everything my library has to offer from her. All the same, I know I've learned a lot in my journey through her books. no reviews | add a review
