Love Is a Choice Workbook: Recovery for Codependent Relationships

Really disappointed. 'Some writing' turned out to be most of the book. What use is a workbook that has so much writing in it already? This book is below acceptable, but was advertised as good. I'm fine with some writing, highlighting, wear and tear, but I have never gotten a book that has had so much use.

I was surprised at the very fast delivery and very happy with the great price! The book was in great condition just like I was told it would be! Thanks so much!

"Love is a Choice" is getting to the root of an issue that much of self-help theory is aimed at (or should be aimed at )resolving - codependency. The authors claim that at least 100 million people are suffering from codependency. If so (and I certainly believe them) then this book is sorely needed. We are seeing an expanded perspective of the meaning of codependency. "Love is a Choice" is useful because it is a workbook format, and for making progress with codepenency issues, a workbook is likely necessary. The authors' definition of codependency is "living in the myth that you can make yourself happy by trying to control people and events outside yourself. A sense of control, or the lack of it, is central to everything you do and think." In my view this is appropo. We can be codependent in relationship to people, situations, and things; however, in my perspective when we learn how to have healthy relationships with the people in our lives, our relationships with the other two (situations/things) also work themselves out because we are putting people first. My suggestion: get going on this work!

This workbook has really helped me think through my relationship patterns. It is very clear and concise, and is an excellent supplement to the book without being repetitive. I highly recommend it....

Awesome workbook! Hard work and difficult things to look at in your past and in your life, but very helpful in dealing with codependency and boundary issues. I highly recommend this for those wanting to work on codependency issues.....probably best to work through with a counselor or fellow struggler.

Take your first steps toward real freedom from codependency. This book show you what codependency is and then gives you a ten step process to help with recovery. Great book
