Let Go Now by Karen Casey

Meditations and Reflections to Help End Codependence

In 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

#1 New Release in Personality Disorders and Twelve-Step Programs

Do you ever feel like you might be giving other people too much power over your mood? Do you find yourself feeling immobilized by expectations and demands? The cure for facing codependence, says Karen Casey, is detachment.

Control your life by letting go. When we remove codependent behavior from our lives, we discover a life of balance and freedom. Whether you find yourself tempted to become enmeshed in other people's problems or rushing to their rescue, Casey reminds us to stop controlling behavior-that we cannot control anyone or anything beyond ourselves.

What is codependency and detachment? Inside, you'll find gems of insight for every stage of your codependence recovery journey. Through 200 recovery meditations and reflections, Casey explores how to set boundaries, control emotions, face attachment issues in adults, and more. Inspirational and easy to read, Let Go Now guides us away from taking care of others, and toward taking care of ourselves.

If you're looking for a codependent book or an attachment book-like Melody Beattie books, The Power of Letting Go Codependent No More, or The Language of Letting Go book-you'll love Let Go Now.

Let Go Now Reviews

Karen Casey teaches us how to row our boat (note: not other people's boats) gently down the stream. When we row gently, we don't yell who or what must be on the bank around the bend. We peacefully accept what comes and this makes us very merry. We quietly bless the people who are there, knowing that is exactly where they should be. We let go and allow the River to carry us home, certain that the River is our God-given will, our safety, our comfort, and our peace. Let Go Now is one of the most profoundly spiritual and helpful books I have read.
-Hugh Prather, author of Morning Notes and The Little Book of Letting Go

You just can't go wrong with Karen Casey. In Let Go Now she steers a course though the at-times confusing waters of detachment. She takes the reader though 200 little classes explaining what detachment is and what it is not. This book would help anyone trying to live a life as serene yet productive as possible in this often busy time.
-Earnie Larsen, author of Stage II Recovery: Life Beyond Addiction and From Anger to Forgiveness

A cornerstone concept of both Eastern philosophy and Twelve Step programs, detachment is often misunderstood and misapplied. In Let Go Now Karen Casey elegantly brings this time-honored term into everyday situations so that it can become a true, userfriendly tool for recovery. She not only tells us what detachment means, she shows us how to do it, one day at a time.
-Tian Dayton, PhD, author of Emotional Sobriety: From Relationship Trauma to Resilience and Balance

Casey has given us a wonderful guidebook for one of life's ongoing challenges-detachment-so essential to our spiritual health. No one with a caring heart would want to miss this essential read. Another winner for Karen Casey and thus for all of us!
-Marilyn J. Mason, PhD, author of Igniting the Spirit at Work and coauthor of Facing Shame: Families in Recovery

My measure of a book's worth: 1. Does it open a window in my mind? 2. Do I change? 3. Is my life improved? The answer? Yes on all counts for Let Go Now.
-Anne Katherine, author of Boundaries and Lick It!

Written in the form of 200 meditations, Casey's (Each Day a New Beginning; Change Your Mind and Your Life Will Follow) book is aimed at those enmeshed in other people's problems and/or deriving a sense of self-worth from others. She points out that while detachment is difficult, its practice paves the way for oneself and others to grow and move in new directions. Casey's reflections will ring true to readers, and she acts as a sister in the process of recovery and becoming whole.
-Deborah Bigelow, Library Journal
