    About this ebook

    Daily lessons and meditations on how to detach from other people’s expectations and discover a life of balance and freedom

    Do you ever feel like you give other people too much power over what you think and feel? Does how your mate or child or employer treat you make or break your day? Do you find yourself feeling immobilized by other people’s expectations and demands? These are the classic indicators of codependence. And the only solution to codependence is detachment. This seeming paradox—embracing (bringing near you) detachment (separation)—holds the key to your inner peace and that of those around you.

    Through 200 meditations, Karen Casey teaches you how to let go of the illusion that you can control anyone or anything beyond yourself. You’ll learn how to find your own balance point and how to get to it whenever you find yourself tempted to become enmeshed in other people’s problems or to rescue them.

    "200 short, straightforward daily lessons illustrating the many forms that detachment can take in one’s life. Casey’s latest is an easy reference guide for those seeking recovery or peace." —Publishers Weekly

      Finally! I've been looking for a book that defines what detachment is. This book does and gives many examples of why we should detach and what the benefits are. Very well written.
