Necesario en el momento en el que lo he leído. Esclarecedor. Si bien no perfecto, útil y acogedor.
vonhelmstein's review against another edition

At first look, I didn't seem like the target demographic for this book. And while I do wish there was an updated version that is more gender neutral, there is still plenty of worth to be found in this book for the men who love too much as well. This helped me recognize some patterns that existed in my own life and in my recently ended relationship which I thought were noble but were actually completely unhealthy. If you ever find yourself thinking "if just this one thing would change with my partner, this relationship would be great again," you will probably find some worth from this book.
As other reviewers have noted, this book also has a tight focus on people that grew up in abusive situations, or with parents who were alcoholics. I did not grow up in any of these situations, but I still recognize most of the characteristics of people who "love too much" in myself. I think the book can be useful even if you don't fall within that narrow focus.
All in all, it's given me a lot to think about and to bring up with my therapist and was ultimately helpful in my situation.

I feel like many woman would benefit from reading this because we have been conditioned to be selfless in relationships and even in our jobs, to the point of our own neglect. I think something that isn't discussed in the book that is very valid, is being brought up in a high demand/control religion where we are groomed to be selfless and helpers first, and that our worth is determined by how much we do for others. The suggestions in this book are mostly beneficial, but I don’t feel like affirmations have ever worked for me. Also, the concept of letting go to a higher power is not something I believe in anymore, so that will be a bit of a struggle for me. I do like that she accounts for that and says instead to just get out in nature. I will probably reread this someday when I need the reminder to honor myself first.

Sin duda alguna, este libro es un gran descubrimiento. Explica de forma muy sencilla y concisa determinadas pautas que toda mujer habrá notado en sus relaciones, no sólo amorosas, si no también familiares o amistosas. Te ayuda a abrir los ojos sobre relaciones tóxicas y te recuerda que la única vida que puedes manejar es la tuya propia.
Lo único que no me ha acabado de gustar es la cantidad de historias que cuenta, pues aunque es cierto que te ayuda a comprender de lo que está hablando, en algunos momentos se me hacia pesado.
En definitiva, un gran libro que hay que leer.
