It is amazing to me how many people exhibit signs of at least some codependency, whether it is the need to stay in a relationship, the inability to say "no" for fear of offending someone, the need for acclimations due to low self-esteem, or the need to have that cup of coffee in the morning because you think it is what makes you happy through your day. This combination of books is a great read to help anyone see the signs of codependence and help alleviate or illuminate them. The first book discusses codependency in a person's life and how to remove it. It also discusses how to ensure that you don't create codependency in your children. The Second book goes through various "symptoms" of lack of self-esteem, including shyness, worry, and insecurity. It has various ways to work through shyness, the physical effect of worry (the author also included a snippet of how worry directly affected her), and how to change your perception to "radical acceptance" or embracing life and what it has to offer. The author also included some exercises to help build self-esteem. Great find!!
