Playing it by Heart by Melody Beattie
Readers will learn what drives them into controlling behavior and victimhood--and what it takes to pull themselves out, to return to the healing, faith, and maturity that come with recovery.Since the publication of Melody Beattie's groundbreaking book Codependent No More, millions of people have confronted the demons of codependency. And yet, many in recovery find themselves slipping back into the old ways that brought them such grief.
In her book Playing It by Heart, Beattie helps readers understand what drives them back into the grasp of controlling behavior and victimhood--and what it takes to pull themselves out, to return to the healing, faith, and maturity that come with a commitment to recovery. Personal essays, inspiring anecdotes, and prescriptive reminders show readers how to stop acting out their painful obsessions. Marked by compassion and keen insight, Playing It by Heart explores the author's most intense personal lessons and shows readers that, despite setbacks, recovery is a lifelong opportunity for spiritual growth.
Melody Beattie's truly personal and immensely healing book, The Grief Club, will guide readers through life's most difficult situations. The Grief Club is a collection of stories linked by the human experience of loss in its many manifestations, including death, divorce, drug addiction, and the stormy yet compassionate process of recovery. It's a book that everyone should read and share. Codependent No More, published twenty years ago, established Melody Beattie as a pioneering voice in self-help books and endeared her to those seeking healthy relationships. Melody has continued to let readers into her life through a series of best-selling novels, each accented with her distinctive candor and intuitive wisdom.
