Carolyn Hax frequently references this title. Unfortunately, I find her application of the concepts in this book far more enlightening than the book itself. Very simplistic, but I'm also aware I'm not the target audience.

Bastante repetitivo y no me gustó el marco místico o espiritual que usa, pero me ayudó en un momento en el que estaba mal emocionalmente y me recordó la importancia de las palabras que usamos con nosotros mismos.

This was okay. It wasn't what I expected but it could be useful to others. Full of succinct and practical skills on active listening, setting boundaries, saying no - generally focused on communication and relationship skills. It's intended for adult children of alcoholics but could be leveraged by anyone who is looking to improve those skills, and it's a short book (audiobook was about 4 hours).
I didn't love the narrator (kind of stilted) and it was written in 1990 but feels more like the 1980s in terms of some of the example situations and relationships in the book so heads up on that if it'll bother you.

This book seems ridiculous, but it's great. Highly recommend for those who are, love, or work with ACoA.

Can seem basic at times... but it really is those basic skills that elude those who were raised in neglectful homes.
