dsarbear's review
Honestly the more I read the more the information seemed a little reductionist and potentially harmful. I want to be better at setting boundaries, but not if that's what it looks like. I also felt like the author didn't take into account anyone who doesn't live a very specific lifestyle. There was a lot of what felt like victim blaming language (sorry if you're fat or poor, apparently). My therapist recommended this but I don't think I can in good conscious continue listening.

I remember feeling so acknowledged and seen the first time reading this, so I knew I’d need to come back to it. It is definitely a book that you can refer back to and take parts from over and over again, as it’s a great guide to setting boundaries and maintaining them in different parts of life 👏🏼 I know my material and time boundaries are the least well kept, so that will be something to work on with my friends 🥹 I also loved the line where it said ‘read for pleasure, not always to grow or learn something’, because I know I’m VERY guilty of getting in reading slumps solely because I feel I have to keep learning 😳
I am a huge fan of this book and would highly recommend it to ANYONE, whether you know all about being boundaried or whether it’s your first time hearing about the concept 🥰
