5 out of 5 stars Year After Year   December 22, 2004
  11 out of 12 found this review helpful

I own an original copy and have used it year after year being it's not dated. When you are ready to get real with your recovery issues, even the hard ones, this one digs in the dirt. In short, she gets to the heart of the matter in a "real" way.

I have also found that the daily meditation's address something thats going on around me in some form. I don't have to like it! BUT, most of the days I do have to "own it" because I know it to be true. I need a calender of each meditation to stamp on my forehead to remind me daily.
Beattie is tuff and real but most of all positive and compassionate. I own many of her books and cherish each one.

I also like that I can use this book time and time again. Worth the buy.

5 out of 5 stars MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW   June 10, 2003
  15 out of 19 found this review helpful

Melody Beattie's book "The Language Of Letting Go" is a tender caring work of art.
Gently she speaks to the spirit inside of us and lets us know that it is ok to be ourselves.
Something most of us are not use to doing, something we need to be allowed to do.

Her words are those of one who has tasted of the emotions that she shares and her advise is like sweet honey to the reader.
Sometimes what we need is just someone to say, it's ok to be you! The author does this and more.
A very well written meditation book that will soothe many that read the words between the covers of this work.
Recommended!



5 out of 5 stars Tells you what it really means to let go!   January 13, 2003
  9 out of 9 found this review helpful

This book tells you what it really means to let go and what happens if you truly let go. Many times we think we have let go of something in our heads but we are just in denial. Our heart has not really let go. This book has helped me overcome some of the most painful experiences in my life. If you want to really understand what letting go means, I'd also recommend "The Ever-transcending Spirit" by Toru Sato. After you read this book by Toru, you will feel very free and understand how life is actually quite simple and extremely beautiful.

Hello All,

I bought this book on the advice of a 27yr veteran in Alanon. I've never regretted purchasing this book. The readings are insightful, and go hand in hand with another great read "The Courage To Change". I've yet to discover why Alanon has yet not recommended this book?! Trust me, this is one of the best daily readers you can get!

I like this book so much, that I've given SEVERAL away as gifts to those that I love dearly. To this date, I've NEVER received a single complaint, only compliments on the depth and wisdom, of the words written by Melody Beatie. So, if you want a great daily reader, then I HIGHLY recommend this book. On yet another note, I just purchased "More language Of Letting Go" so, as soon as I've read a bit of it, I'll post my comments here.

Ciao All!!
