The author of the bestselling classic Codependent No More offers 365 daily meditations to inspire growth and renewal and to remind us that caring for the self is where healing begins, now updated and with new material.
The Language of Letting Go is a cherished work by Melody Beattie, a companion to her modern classic, Codependent No More, written for those on a journey of recovery and healing. Now updated for the first time since its publication over thirty years ago, this timeless collection of 365 daily meditations draws on Beattie's own life experiences and struggles with codependency. She offers a thought to guide us through the day, to help us set an intention, and to encourage us to take small, meaningful steps toward renewal, courage, and resilience. Every day affords an opportunity for growth, Beattie reminds us, and with this wise and compassionate book, she lights the way.
A pioneering voice in self-help literature and the recovery movement, Melody Beattie is the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Codependent No More, which has sold over 7 million copies worldwide. Her other bestselling books include The Language of Letting Go, Playing It by Heart, The Grief Club, and Beyond Codependency, among others. In 2009, Newsweek named Codependent No More one of the four most essential self-help books of all time. Beattie lives in Southern California and is at work on an inspirational memoir for Spiegel & Grau.
