Beckoning readers toward a spiritual territory beyond even that of her revolutionary best-seller Codependent No More, Melody Beattie conducts us through teeming Casablanca, war-torn Algeria, and the caverns of Egypt's great pyramids as she embarks on a new kind of journey of the soul. An enlightening blend of travel, adventure, and spiritual discovery, filled with new ideas for overcoming the pitfalls of guilt and self-doubt, Stop Being Mean to Yourself is a compassionate tour guide for the troubled and the heartsick, for those who seek a happier place in the world. A tale that is at once modern and timeless, rich with the promise of personal discovery, it is a book about learning the art of living and of loving others--and ourselves. As full of suspense and excitement as it is of hope and encouragement, it is as rewarding for its pure reading pleasure as for the wisdom it imparts.

梅洛迪-比蒂引导读者进入一个甚至超越她的革命性畅销书《不再依赖》的精神领域，她带领我们穿过繁华的卡萨布兰卡、饱受战争摧残的阿尔及利亚和埃及大金字塔的岩洞，开始了新的灵魂之旅。本书是旅行、冒险和精神发现的启蒙之作，充满了克服内疚和自我怀疑陷阱的新思想，是为那些烦恼和心痛的人，为那些寻求世界上更幸福的人提供的富有同情心的导游。这是一个既现代又永恒的故事，充满了个人发现的希望，它是一本关于学习生活的艺术和爱他人--以及爱自己的书。这本书既充满了悬念和刺激，又充满了希望和鼓励，它所带来的纯粹的阅读乐趣和它所传授的智慧一样值得赞赏。
