Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend this book to friend and have already recommended it to a few people. It present a clear, concise model for healthy, mature, adult relationships which is refreshing, even revolutionary. It opens up a world where the romantic ideal of being completely intertwined with one 'soul mate' is turned on its head and what emerges instead is the possibility for continuous growth both independently and interdependently; the book reminds us of our capacity to change and learn new ways of communicating and of seeing ourselves and those around us. It reminds us of the beauty of every human relationship and reminds us of our tendency to take people for granted. Although it focuses on more on intimate relationships, I have found it applies equally to friendships.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Codependency - "Loves Me, Loves Me Not"?
The list of typical codependent behaviours early on the book was a welcome wake up call to the fact that my future relationships do not need to be the way my past relationships have been.
Have you listened to any of John Malone’s other performances? How does this one compare?
I have also listened to 'Stop worrying and start living' which I found very helpful and 'Mindful eating'. The narration is good on all of them.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes, and I have listened to it more than once. It contains so much helpful information that I am planning to listen and make notes.
Any additional comments?
Thank you Simeon!
