I'm really enjoying this book. It's a great introduction to boundaries, how to set them, and how to respect others boundaries. I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks they might have boundary problems, or are codependent, etc. It doesn't go too in depth because it tries to give you advice in all areas of your life. But there are other books by the same authors to help you build boundaries in specific parts of life. This book has definitely been helpful for me.
Currently 5/5 Stars.

This book is awesome. Meds are not the answer to one's struggles with depression and anxiety. We must find the root cause of these struggles. This book helped me to identify mine.

This book has some good ideas but they constantly talk about God and the Christian faith. If you're a Christian you might like this but I found it off-putting.

This is the kind of book you need to read multiple times - not because it's hard to follow, but quite the contrary. It makes so much sense and provides awesome techniques in terms of boundaries that rereading it will help instill the practice of boundaries even further. It discusses the different ways people try to manipulate you and overstep your boundaries in multiple arenas (i.e. family, relationships, work environment, etc.) and also ways to handle these situations.
It is a must read for everyone who has experienced issues in their relationships... so basically everyone would benefit from this well written, practical book!
