As with all new books, I opened to see a page or two, and I couldn't put it down. In the beginning, authors describe what it's like to live with injured boundries, and all I could utter was 'I know, right?!!' To anyone who wants to learn how to take your power back and be in full charge of your life regardless of actions of others or circumstances life throws at you, I highly HIGHLY recommend this book. For years I have been searching for answers that are found on the pages of this book. Countless friends, coworkers, councelors, therapists, and other books don't hold a candle to this best seller. This is a life changer, and I am so grateful that a still small voice miraculously lead me to it. After decades of abuse and mental/emotional enslavement, my life was all about anticipating needs of everyone around me and fulfilling whatever others wanted. Now that my higher power has brought me out of my version of slavery two years ago, I guess I was ready to learn this. Read it, pass it on. If you are stressed beyond measure, timid, or live for others, this is the best investment in your well being other then learning from divine truth dot cm. I just know it will be a blessing. Say good bye to your old self :)Read full review

The information is excellent; I didn't realize this particular copy was not the latest version. The copyright date is 1992 and I believe the latest edition is 2017. The later edition has information that would be useful on digital boundaries.

I find boundaries to help me explain what is expected and it helps others feel safe and on the same page. Would highly recommend it. Now, boundaries in dating and boundaries in marriage were books that I got less benefit from. I would also recommend these authors as they wrote some books on parent bonding. Most boundary issues stem from home and lack of consistency/trust. People are resilient and we can heal!

I first read this book a number of years ago, and it was a real wake-up call for me. Dr. Townsend is able to communicate a difficult issue in no-nonsense, clear, understandable language. This book has helped me understand what healthy boundaries are and how to set them, and I have used it to help others as I work with clients as a counselor. I highly recommend it for anyone, whether you think you have boundary issues or not! It can help you understand others as well as yourself.
I loved it a couple years ago, & now my new husband is devouring it & hopes to share much of its content with his very depressed 46 year old son - today.
