    Excellent self help for anyone feeling a deep grief.

    Wonderfully and carefully written with spiritual references to back up the content. I would recommend it to anyone who feels they are expected to do it all alone; whatever it is. I will read it again and again suggesting it to others.

    Highly Recommended! A must-read!

    Boundaries, by Henry Cloud and John Townsend explained putting up boundaries, when to take them down, and how to respect boundaries of others. They used examples, which were very informative. I've heard good things about this book from others, too. I learned so much about myself and others. I've had problems setting and keeping boundaries in the past, but this book helped me understand and clarify them better, which has improved my life immensely. It's a book I just had to read and I'm the better person for it, too. I owe a huge thanks to the authors.

    Brilliant and insightful

    This is a must read for those of us who anguish over our responsibities to ourselves, families and the other relationships in our lives The Biblical references to me are helpful to place the demands of others and our own needs into perspective the book is extremely helpful without being at all"preachy"! This read will inspire me to get my life back on track, give me "permission" to take better emotional care of myself and to stop being the "enabler" I've morphed into over the years by owning all crisis situations others create and

    Very Insightful With Practical Solutions

    Deep down I knew I needed this book. I am not very religious and the biblical references throughout surprised me a bit. If you don't get hung up on the need to believe the scripture aspect and focus on the psychology behind what they are telling you, it is a fabulous audio book. The things they say make sense and they actually tell you how to correct the problem which is the best part. You will recognize yourself throughout the book (sometimes in surprise) and what they say tends to stay with you long after the reading. I recommend it to everyone. Often we don't realize that others are not always the problem. It helps to look in the mirror once in a while. It is already changing my life for the better.

    If you need to set boundaries, buy this book.

    This book helped me to set boundaries. It also helped me to see myself in the situations in which I needed to set boundaries. Sometimes, we can't see how our actions plays into the issue that we are in. Whether we verbalize our feelings or not, in both situations, we are contributing to our own hurts and disappointments.

    The authors does reference scriptures from the bible, which for me also helped. It allowed me to set boundaries based on my beliefs.

    If something is weighing on your heart and you need to set a boundary, buy this book. You will feel much better. I know I did.
