As with all new books, I opened to see a page or two, and I couldn't put it down. In the beginning, authors describe what it's like to live with injured boundries, and all I could utter was 'I know, right?!!' To anyone who wants to learn how to take your power back and be in full charge of your life regardless of actions of others or circumstances life throws at you, I highly HIGHLY recommend this book. For years I have been searching for answers that are found on the pages of this book. Countless friends, coworkers, councelors, therapists, and other books don't hold a candle to this best seller. This is a life changer, and I am so grateful that a still small voice miraculously lead me to it. After decades of abuse and mental/emotional enslavement, my life was all about anticipating needs of everyone around me and fulfilling whatever others wanted. Now that my higher power has brought me out of my version of slavery two years ago, I guess I was ready to learn this. Read it, pass it on. If you are stressed beyond measure, timid, or live for others, this is the best investment in your well being other then learning from divine truth dot cm. I just know it will be a blessing. Say good bye to your old self :)

One of the best books you'll ever buy. And no, don't think it's not for you and that 'it's only for people who need it'. We ALL have boundary issues, and deal with people who have boundary issues. These issues are the main reason for all those relationship issues we have at home, and in the workplace (eg toxic workplaces anyone?). You'll 100% get something good out of it. There's wisdom in practically every page. For those that are not Christian, it has Bible verses (as wisdom references), but for those who don't prefer they can just read over them. You'll want refer back to this book again and again. It's that good.

This is an amazing book; every high school student should be taught this wonderful information to become secure in the understanding of what each person should be able to expect from others and to realize and to be able to easily and confidently express or silently assert their self-respect and the ability to set normal respectful boundaries atr their own individual comfort level. If you have missed this amazing understanding of self-power and how to quietly enforce it in your life, just read this book now! Please find this book and buy it in any condition, then read it. You can always sell it again or give it away. You will never regret having this information and excellent life protecting guidance.

Robert Frost inspired readers of his poetry to question an assertion made by a character who was not hesitant in extolling the virtue of boundaries between parcels of property. He believed that "good fences make good neighbors," though Frost gives readers cause to wonder about the full truth and/or the limitations of that claim for barriers/walls/fences... BOUNDARIES helps clarify the need for recognizable and understood lines of demarcation in human relationships in order not only to protect our individual interests, but also to provide guidelines for self discipline (and thus,promote our own development and well-being while also protecting the interests of others). We all need to know how/where/when to "draw the line" with maturity, compassion, and wisdom, and how to help others recognize and respect those lines of authority, autonomy, acceptance, approval whether in matters of family relationships and parenting or in financial affairs and management, to name a few. This highly practical and pleasantly readable book helps.
