Rating: Summary: The title of this book REALLY says it all! Review: I had expected from this book on setting Bondaries in relationships, at least an example of exactly how one does that. Not once does the author give step by step examples or instructions on how to set a boundary. I believe in the entire 234 pages (before I got to the appendix on using psychic abilities??? No idea why that's in there!) he only used 3 ambiguous case stories which rarely proved a point or educated.The most annoying intrusion into my book-buyer's boundary of not being advertised & spammed to in a book I've paid for, was on almost everyone of those 234 pages, he plugs ALL of his other books. Instead of explaining his point he would say "refer to chapter whatever of his other book(s) #1-#5). In one chapter he actually used a big topic heading only to write below, for this topic see such & such of my other books! So he expects me to buy ALL of his books in order to read THIS book. He also repeats himself over & over, which seems like he is trying to fill blank space just to meet a quota since none of the repititions were needed to prove a point & instead felt intrusive & unnecessary to the point of irritation. As one other reviewer said already, he also hasn't decided who his audience is & tries to write to both at once, failing to reach anyone by alienating the reader. I gave this book a 3 because the ideas the author expressed were useful & mostly on target and applicable. His theories deserve attention & expansion, and this book will at least be helpful in illuminating the need for healthy boundaries.
Rating: Summary: Great insights about relationships Review: I read many books in psychology and self-help. I have B.A. in psychology and recently wrote my own self-help book, soon available (How to love yourself when no one else does). From all the books I read, this is one of the books I love to have in my library collection. It teaches you awareness about boundaries. It really helped me to be aware of my self, my own needs and responsibilities. This person knows a lot, and really changed my life, and will help me changed lives of my own patience. I recommend this book for people. The style in which it is written is not easy, but it shows that this author is very knowledgeable and knows his stuff. This book is worth your money and time!

Rating: Summary: Great insights about relationships Review: I thought that this book has some very very important insights about relationships. I learned quite a bit about myself and my relationships just from reading this book. I would recommend it to anyone who is seriously interested in improving their relationships. If you want to know even more about your relationships and how to improve them, I'd recommend another book called The Ever-transcending Spirit by Toru Sato. It is theoretically outstanding and has many practical applications.
Rating: Summary: "In the head..." Review: Whitfield seems to spend his time gathering and dispensing (via word regurgitation) his information. While it is useful, it's far from friendly reading. Move on...
