Not for women only!,
By
This review is from: Boundaries (Paperback)
As a male, I disagree with the reviewer who said that this book is for women only. On the other hand, I will state that many men may find it difficult to read. But that is not a good reason to avoid grappling with the concepts that are presented here.Several years ago I attempted to read another book on boundaries that caused me to reach the conclusion that "boundaries" can add to division in marriage. Fortunately, someone encouraged me to try this excellent volume by Anne Katherine. What makes this book potentially challenging for men is that many of the cases presented here involve women whose boundaries (physical, sexual, emotional, social, etc.) have been violated by men. One can easily come to the conclusion that all men are jerks. But a man can also begin to reflect on these cases and perhaps see similarities to things he has done to others (women, children, parents, coworkers, etc.) over the years. Any growing human being wants to learn from their mistakes. But sometimes it takes a book like this to cause an individual (male or female) to see the extent of the damage he or she has done by violating various boundaries. Seeing the pain and hurt expressed on these pages might cause individuals to examine similar pain they may have caused in others. So, while one begins to come to grips with--and begins to honor--the boundaries of others, the reader can also begin to reevaluate his or her own boundaries. In my case, I immediately thought of a physician I sometimes see who is also a friend of the family. Since I value his friendship, I now realize that it would be better for me to see other physicians in his clinic in the future. So, men, go ahead. Give this book a try. It can only help you grow as a human being. It will most likely improve your relationships at the same time.

Boundaries ARE a Good Thing,
By
This review is from: Boundaries: Where You End and I Begin (Hardcover)
I was raised with very few boundaries... I did not know they were a good thing. So this book took me by surprise. This book is well written and gave me a solid understanding of what to do to make the changes that I have needed for a long time. Well done.

Great book, and more*!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Boundaries (Paperback)
If an interaction feels icky and you don't know why, perhaps this book can explain things.We can't control how others treat us, but this book shows us how to tell them, in a positive and productive manner how we feel about being treated poorly. This book is also an eye-opener for those who may not even be aware that their boundaries are being violated. The author illustrates many types of boundaries and how they can be respected (or disrespected). By following the advice in this book, you will improve your interactions with others. *Included in this book is a free jerk filter. It does an excellent job of weeding out those who choose to react badly when you set your boundaries.
