Excellent, Concise, Great Guide

Well done. Lots of information in clear, easy to understand presentation. Only 75-minute audiobook full of step by step guidelines. Not preachy. Matter of fact. Highly recommend.

Worth hearing again and again for good reason.

My 3rd or 4th listen. Refreshers help to decide how my personal boundaries are shifting toward self-love. I like the direction my life is taking and appreciate the ability to see how much I have improved, learned and healed. What I once thought was normal is so sad. I do not consider my years with someone whom likely is pathological, as wasted time. I know my story is mine to, one day, share and show others the way to self-love and a clear mind, likely with titles within Audible.com books.
The content is concise and relevant. Others' writings and ideas shared are well cited. I like that.
The reader exhibits nuances in her voice appropriately. She is not distracting from the content. Bold voice

Spot on!

Short, sweet, spot on and absolutely required reading!

I just learned that firm boundaries provide too much of a challenge for manipulators- generally prompting them to move on. Manipulators aren’t looking for a challenge, they are looking for a victim. Tired of being a victim? Learn about boundaries- and then get some.

Good but not what I expect!

A short version of boundaries and most of the literature related to your boundaries with partners. I wish it could be more broad... it gives a good perspective and good insight but it could’ve been a deeper look at it.

The audiobook is so great, I am going to buy the paperback too. I wish I had these tools 40 years ago.

Review

Adleyn's book is beautifully written. Everything she talks about makes complete sense. I wish I had read it before I entered a deeply wounding and abusive relationship.

makes you realise what you lost along the way

amazing made me realise so much boundaries are really important within every relationship that we have thank you so much

Fantastic Book

Wonderful in the way it describes the differences between boundaries and control; setting and defending boundaries. Easy listening.
I minuses one star of the story because affirmations should not include the word "NOT" because of drawing the mind to that very thing, that you are stating you don't want.
