Rating: Summary: A must for everyone!!! Review: this book is a must for everyone...it has helped me tremendously and my life is much healthier and the guilt from things I shouldn't have felt guilty for is no longer a problem, almost to the point I wondered if there is a problem.

Rating: Summary: Transform your life with boundaries Review: Is your life chaotic? Do you feel everyone is taking a bite from you? Do you have no more to give? Are people walking all over you? You do not know how to say NO! You want to take responsibility for your life. If you feel tired and wiery because of the above reason(s), want to learn how to say no without having negative feelings and want to take responsibility for your life, you must read this book. This book has transformed my life tremendously. I would recommend it to anyone. It combines scripture and explaination so well that you will feel really empowered. This book has been a gift to me from God. I hope it will be for you too.
Rating: Summary: This book has transformed my life. Review: "Above all else guard your heart". Religious persuasions aside this book has transformed my life like no other book has done. It is the most influential, life-transforming book I have ever read. I decided to read a book on boundaries three years ago when I was almost physically abused at General Motors Holdens for not using boundaries. The guy said to me "YOU HAVE NO BOUNDARIES!!!" This book is still having enormous effects on everything I do even now, though now it is more of an unconscious competence. This book fundamentally teaches you where you end and another person begins. I have given away numerous copies. This could be your life saver!!!
Rating: Summary: A must read. Review: I wish I had this book 15 years ago. I could have learned how to communicate and figure out what's mine and not mine. Everyone could benefit by this book.
Rating: Summary: Excellent account of Psychological Boundaries Review: This is an excellent book explaining how relationships work and how we have the tendency to extend our ego boundaries beyond ourselves as individuals. When we get close to someone, we all have the tendency to begin treating them like parts of our own body (something that we have almost total control over). We forget to respect them as individuals with needs and desires that are not the same as our own. The book also tells us how to protect ourselves from others coming inside our own boundaries and become conscious and responsible of our own relationships. I recommend this book to anyone looking for improvement in their lives. And if you are ready to take the next step in your emotional and spiritual development, I'd recommend "Rhythm, Relationships, and Transcendence" by Toru Sato. If you are ready for it, it will astonish and inspire you. If you are not, it probably won't click for you.
Rating: Summary: Boundaries ROCKS! Review: If your life and those around you do not change for the very best after this book-You must not be breathing! Loved both Authors, it was light-hearted when it needed to be and solid all the way! I'll never be the same!!! i have recommended this book to hundreds of people and the feedback was astounding! Try it-If you're ready for a new life.
Rating: Summary: Excellent Resource Review: I wish that I could make all my family and friends read this book. Many of us are not raised understanding healthy boundaries. Cloud and Townsend do a marvelous job of outlining healthy boundaries and all types of relationships. Easy to read with great biblical references.
Rating: Summary: Boundaries/ How to Say YES ..When to say NO Review: Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend wrote a wonderful works on looking at you life and taking stock of it. Many times I found myself stopping and reflecting on my own past to see how the text related to me. I also understood some boundaries that I had set years ago without knowing it. The book tells of some consequences of boundaries and they fit my expeerience to a "T". Read this and learn more about yourself and find a great deal of peace in the knowing!
Rating: Summary: too loose or too tight Review: Some set boundaries too lose, others too tight. The authors attempt to focus on the biblical perspective for setting balance boundaries and the affect they have on effective Christian living. You will also want to review The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People for more on boundaries from a secular perspective. THE PRAYER OF HANNAH by Kenn Gividen is also recommended.
