Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No To Take Control of Your Life
Summary
This New York Times bestselling and award-winning book helps listeners set healthy boundaries in order to be the loving people God created and now offers a whole new chapter.
Are you in control of your life?
Christians often focus so much on being loving and giving that they forget their own limits and limitations. Have you ever found yourself wondering: Can I set limits and still be a loving person? How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries?
In this Gold Medallion Award-winning book and New York Times bestseller, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend give you biblically based answers to these and other tough questions and show you how to set healthy boundaries with your parents, spouses, children, friends, coworkers, and even yourself. This updated and expanded edition specifically addresses boundaries in the digital age, online dating, single parenting, and the workplace.
Boundaries are personal property lines that define who you are and who you are not, and influence all areas of your life – physically, mentally, emotionally, spiritually.
Unpacking ten laws of boundaries, Drs. Cloud and Townsend show you how to bring new health to your relationships. You’ll discover firsthand how sound boundaries give you the freedom to walk as the loving, giving, fulfilled individual God created you to be.

Reviews
This book was very good. It was very enlightening. I would recommend this book to everyone.
This audiobook was so helpful to me that o had to purchase a physical copy. Henry and John make great points based on biblical and practical experiences collected from the lives of many of their clients. They remind us who our father is and who we are to him, what and who we are responsible for, and what and who we are not responsible for. This book is a fit for everyone who seeks to improve their relationships with themselves, with others and especially with God.
One of the most powerful and useful book that I ever seen. Life changing! Thank you
Like a big chunky chewy juicy steak that you need to chew a lot. A whole lot. Crammed with needed advice for me and my life.
A must read for every person. This book will teach you how to govern your life and improve all your relationships.
Brilliant! Thank you for such a practical, biblical and life changing book.
A must read for believers & life changing book
That book is a blessing. I find so many answers that I’ve been looking for... thank you.
Couldn't get past the horrible narrating so I had to stop listening
Definitely will re-read, God's willing, later. This has helped me to learn so much more about who I am, why I respond the way I do and how to interact with others. I am not a social person but this has helped me to understand social interaction and create boundaries which I can feel comfortable in
Great pointers ruined by religious dogma.
Amazing, hit the soul, body & mind it is exactly what I've needed to hear for way too long. Why have I never found this till now? At the beginning of the year I prayed to God asking what I need to work on the word boundaries came up so I searched the internet and found different versions of these best of all they are Christian authors. God bless you tremendously for writing this you dealt well with issues from marriage, parenting to church relationships & work & more. This book will get read over and over until changes happen. Amazing book you will not be dissappointed everyboduly needs to learn when to appropriately draw the line and not to feel guilty doing it whether its with your child, spouse or mamma... Great job done. I recommend this to the world whether you are Christian or not.
Helped me a lot with my struggles, opened my eyes and gave me motivation for the future !
