I found the book to be very helpful to me and my family. We are in an important position of church leadership and we constantly seem to be setting, re-setting or removing boundaries in our lives. The most helpful part of the book (for me) is the fact that it includes real-life examples of people who have boundary issues. It also gives practical advice on how to resolve conflicts in relationships.

I truly believe that this book is essential for people who desire to have healthy relationships. This book is so practical that it will help you with relationships issues in your home, job, extended family, etc. I highly recommend this book for everyone who is in the midst of relationship difficulties.

Everyday of my life, someone tells me that I'm too nice to people. And, they're right. I take a lot of people, and I have always had a lot of trouble saying no to someone. My husband thought that I should read this book, so he bought it for me. After reading this book, it taught me that I can't always say yes and let people take advantage of me. Granted, a lot of people were angry with me, because they were so used to taking advantage of me, they figured I'd continue to be a push-over for them. I feel like a better person, especially since now I know how to stand up for myself. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is in the same shoe that I was once in. It's insightful, and it'll change you for the best. No one has the right to make you feel inferior without your permission, always remember that.

As someone who was in an abusive relationship for a few years, I have a lot of troubles setting boundaries. After awhile you learn that you say yes, or you get hurt. Since I'm now out of the relationship, I am once again learning to set boundaries, and say no sometimes. This book is a great step along the road to this. I no longer have a panic attack at the idea of saying no!

I have a problem. I let people walk all over me. I never learned how to say no to people, or how to set boundaries. Thankfully, Henry Cloud’s book BOUNDARIES is for people like me.

BOUNDARIES taught me that everything is not okay if I’m spending all my energy making the people around me happy. I need to take the time to make me happy too. If I don’t, then the relationships I’m forging aren’t real relationships.

People need boundaries. We need boundaries set by other people and we need boundaries that are set for ourselves. If you want, you can look at the world and every interaction within it being made up of an exchange of boundaries. If you find yourself unable to tell when to say us and you don’t know how to say no, then reading BOUNDARIES is for you.
