Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No, to Take Control of Your Life by Henry Cloud
5.0
4.5 stars
I listened to the audiobook while following along and taking notes on kindle.
The concepts in this book and how they explain the importance/effects of boundaries deserves 5 stars. I think it’s very important for everyone to learn about boundaries- not just how to set their own but also how to respect the boundaries of others. And this book can help with that.
On the other hand, I wish they presented more research to back up their ideas. I was able to recognize the value of the authors’ ideas because I’ve read other books on this subject. But without my background knowledge I would have dismissed their arguments because they are not presented with research- but through examples from the Bible. And even though the concepts are sound, using the Bible to back up your argument is going to limit the audience....which is a shame because there are a lot of valuable lessons in this book.
A must read for anyone that wants to further their knowledge on the importance of boundaries.
