About the Author

Melody Beattie is one of America’s most beloved self-help authors and a household name in addiction and recovery circles. Her international bestselling book, Codependent No More, introduced the world to the term “codependency” in 1986. Millions of readers have trusted Melody’s words of wisdom and guidance because she knows firsthand what they’re going through. In her lifetime, she has survived abandonment, kidnapping, sexual abuse, drug and alcohol addiction, divorce, and the death of a child. “Beattie understands being overboard, which helps her throw bestselling lifelines to those still adrift,” said Time Magazine.

Now, in her newest book, Making Miracles in Forty Days, she fully explores the secret power behind learning to be grateful for everything in your life – every experience, every emotion, and every encounter. Making Miracles is wonderfully simple, yet completely transformative idea that will change the way you interact with your world, and as a result will change the way the world interacts with you. The Miracles Melody speaks of are not random acts of magic, but arise as a direct result of the actions one takes while following her simple advice.

Making Miracles is a step-by-step guide to harness the power that you forgot you had to find out where you want to go in life, and how to get there. The real miracle of Melody’s idea isn’t that you can magically get what you want, it is learning how a few simple changes can help you create a stronger, better life more in tune with the world around you and all the blessings it holds.
