Editorial Reviews
From AudioFile
In a lyrical and gritty narrative, Beatty tells us how she acquired her wisdom about codependency, self-destructiveness and the addictive personality. It's not a pretty picture, but it serves the purpose of prodding listeners to stay with their own discomfort and to let it inform their lives. She also teaches us that we can have relationships with people who respect God's order for them, rather than trying to control or subvert them. The grace and reality of Beatty's narrative, and a nicely balanced reading, will provide a lot of encouragement to listeners.

Product Description
"Beattie understands being overboard, which helps her throw best-selling lifelines to those still adrift."
----TIME

Since the publication of Melody Beattie's groundbreaking book Codependent No More, millions of people have confronted the demons of codependency. And yet, many in recovery find themselves slipping back into the old ways that brought them such grief.

In her newest book, Beattie helps readers understand what drives them back into the grasp of controlling behavior and victimhood--and what it takes to pull themselves out, to return to the healing, faith, and maturity that come with a commitment to recovery.

Personal essays, inspiring anecdotes, and prescriptive reminders show readers how to stop acting out their painful obsessions. Marked by compassion and keen insight, Playing It by Heart explores the author's most intense personal lessons and shows readers that, despite setbacks, recovery is a lifelong opportunity for spiritual growth.

In her many best-selling books, including Stop Being Mean to Yourself, Codependent No More, and The Language of Letting Go, Melody Beattie draws on the wisdom of Twelve Step healing, Christianity, and Eastern religions.
