The Language of Letting Go
Hazelden, 1990
Language of Letting Go is a collection of daily meditations. Originally written for people recovering from chemical dependency and codependency, this classic Beattie book quickly began to speak to people not in recovery.
“I wanted to write a book that talked about everything people in recovery needed to know, but nobody was talking about,” Beattie says. “I wanted to document some of the confusing lessons that accompany relationships, and validate the feelings that go with these lessons.”
What Beattie learned is that there’s magic in letting go.
Her readers say there’s magic in reading this book, too.
It’s uncanny, how each day’s reading is exactly what I need to hear that day is her readers most common response to this book, Beattie says.
I take it with me even when I travel. … After five years of reading the meditations each day, this book still speaks to me with new information. … This book got me through some of the worst days of my life but practicing the concepts in it brought me into the best years I’ve experienced. … I keep it on my bedside table and read it every day are other common responses to this favorite.
Language of Letting Go, now a companion for over two million people, is an essential for anyone’s library.
