Debra Jay
Bantam, 2006
No more Letting Go
Excellent book.Allowed myself to change my position on Let it go and let God. The main point in this book is to acept that our love ones are sick and that they can't make decision on their own. We need to help them in the wright way.

The Secret of Letting Go 77 reviews
Guy Finley
Llewellyn Publications, 2007
Simply Brilliant
I have read hundreds if books in a similar vein over the past few decades, thought I'd heard it all...but Guy Finley has truly surprised this jaded New Yorker with his simple yet to-the-point ways of expressing these not-so-simple truths. Love his stories, his analogies, his metaphors, so much so that I have ordered all his other books for myself and friends. What a treat, just when you think ...

Melody Beattie

Taking Care of Ourselves
A decade or so ago a friend who was going through a rough patch in her life had a therapist who highly recommended this book of meditations. I happened to be in Barnes and Noble with her when she bought Melody Beattie's book, and after perusing a few of the passages, I bought one for myself. What a difference reading The Language of Letting Go made (and continues to make) in my life.
I've ...

Letting Go of the Words: Writing Web Content that Works (Interactive Technologies) (Interactive Technologies) ...20 reviews
Janice (Ginny) Redish
Morgan Kaufmann, 2007
One of the best books in the field
I'm a big fan of technical communication texts. This book is exceptional, and stands apart from others in many ways:
- Many technical communication texts repeat the same rote guidelines. Although this book does not ignore the "classic" rules (e.g., "Write in inverted pyramid style"; "Use space effectively"), many of the rules are unexpected or even contrarian (e.g., "Use a sans-serif font"; ...

Letting Go: A Parents' Guide to Understanding the College Years, Fourth Edition24 reviews
Karen Levin Coburn, Madge Lawrence Treeger
Harper Paperbacks, 2003
Helping you through
I have not read all of "Letting Go" and (as I have been overwhelmed preparing to send my child to college myself) I have not had time to. But the book has been a source of hope and perspective during the difficult time that surrounds this process of separation. I have dipped into the book as needed-- literally reading 5-page snippets that dealt with a particular issue I was facing. Knowing, for ...

The Language of Letting Go Journal: A Meditation Book and Journal for Daily Reflection4 reviews
Melody Beattie
Hazelden, 2003
Language of Letting go a wonderful journal
I just started using this book as a recomendation made by one of my college teachers last semester. By reading the daily pages, and journaling a little bit about each topic for each day I have been able to make some very profound discoveries about myself. It is helping me to not only better understand myself, and my situation, but it is allowing me to become more tolerant of others, and is ...

Letting Go of Anger: The Eleven Most Common Anger Styles And What to Do About Them4 reviews
Ronald T. Potter-Efron, Patricia S. Potter-Efron
New Harbinger Publications, 2006
What's Your Anger Style?
I was pleased to find out about this book from a review in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. It categorizes anger into anger styles and tells what to do about them. A quiz with 30 yes or no questions helps you figure out your style.
Many of us have learned unhealthy ways to deal with our own anger or that of others. The book advises letting go of our anger, and to clearly express our wants and ...

The Power of Letting Go: 10 Simple Steps to Reclaiming Your Life2 reviews
Pam Vredevelt
Multnomah Books, 2006
Practical steps to achieving freedom
The author shares her own personal life stories and those whom she has counseled in hopes of revealing steps to freedom from holding on too tightly to all sorts of issues, things and people. I felt like I was sitting in her office hearing her speak comforting, encouraging words to me. I would recommend this book to anyone who struggles with the pain and 'prison' of holding on too tightly.

Philip Roth
Vintage, 1997
My favorite all-time novel
Your favorite book isn't necessarily the greatest book you've ever read: it's just the one that speaks most directly and resonately for you. This is my all-time favotite, and I've read all of Roth. I love the characters, the structure, even the typeface and lay-out design. I first read this book in its old orange mass-market paperback edition way back in the late 80s, in celebration of my ...

"LETTING GO WITH LOVE- The Greiving Process"
In 1992 my husband passed away after a 9 month battle with cancer. The local Hospice gave me "Letting Go With Love". I read and re-read and carried the book everywhere with me to help me through some very bad times. Over the past 10 years I have given 21 of the books away (including my own original) and I beleive every person that looses someone close to them should be given this book as it ...

Letting Go: A Memoir2 reviews
William A. M.D. Gruber
AuthorHouse, 2003
A pretty good book
I am actually directly related to Mark Smetko--he is my uncle. This was a pretty good book. Knowing how our family actually lived through it, I think it was a little romanticized but for the most part quite realistic. The medical terms at the beginning added understanding and interest, and helped build up to the devastating shock when Dr. Gruber developed Hepatitis C and had to quit his job as ...

The positive role that shame plays is covered, but the focal issue is toxic shame. It is easy for the reader to identify with symptomatic consequences of shame as each source of shame is presented. It is ...

An excellent and intelligent meditation book for anyone
This book was given to me 15yrs ago by a friend and it is my favorite of the meditation books I read every day. Melody is so down to earth and spiritual so anyone can relate. I share this book with friends who are looking for comfort from divorce, overeating, substance abuse, relationship abuse-they all apply here. Very easy to read and gives solid daily advice.
Priceless and well done, ...
