Several times over the past few years, I’ve had one book consistently recommended to me: Boundaries, by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend. Honestly, I shrugged the suggestions off for a long time because frankly, it didn’t sound like a very interesting book and I didn’t see what would be so good about it.
In all honesty, I wish I had read it sooner. I just finished it last week, and it had so many good things to say about life and relationships with other people and how to reclaim control of my life by simply knowing when to say “yes” and “no.” The best things it had to say, I think, were in the segments on parenting and on knowing how to have healthy boundaries with yourself. Wow.
My only complaint about this particular book is that at times, it reads very much like a text book. It is packed with information and ideas, and it’s a little overwhelming if you’re using it as “wind down before bedtime” reading material, as I was. The ideas contained within, though, are well worth your time, and I know I’m taking a lot of them with me into my relationships and life.
