Boundaries Workbook: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life

Love the book.

This book helps one understand why they respond to others’ actions, inactions, words, etc. As well titled, the book explains how easy “it can be” to set boundaries. I am “well over” 50 and still learning the value of not enabling and setting boundaries, like saying no, or even saying “yes” but on your own terms; like, I cannot do it today, but I can do it by the end of the week. I don’t get excited about reading self improvement books, as compared to novels (and prefer books on tape), but “improvements” is the keyword and I think we always have room for improvement. I have always had a hard time saying no and I also like to help others. This commonly resulted in overload and that’s not good for anyone’s health or emotions. This book has been so helpful that I am actually going to read it again; but, this time I’m going to use the coordinating workbook I purchased as I move chapter to chapter. I recommend this book.

I bought two copies of this book along with the workbooks for my teenage daughter and me. I was seeing that she was having trouble maintaining boundaries with some people at church, and that they were having trouble respecting those boundaries. I'm only on chapter two and it has been such an eye opener! It's so helpful to define and understand what boundaries are, why we need them, and how to maintain them in a healthy way. I have learned so much about myself and others already. It helps to understand what makes other people tick and why they behave the way they do. Understanding that helps me not to jump to conclusions. It helps me understand where they're coming from and extend grace when it is needed. It also helps me understand why I do the things I do. I am learning to do different and more healthy things, and it is bringing peace and calm on the inside. I would recommend this book to anyone. And the workbook is very helpful too.

If you have a hard time setting boundaries, this book is for you! It has helped me so much. I would usually just let everything slide and ve walked all over....until I read this book and it helped me identify my lack of boundaries were ruining my life! I am very empowered by this book - buy it you won't regret it!

The study guide is helpful in asking reflective questions and getting you to think. The way it is divided up does not go along with the chapters like it says. For example, under chapter 2 in the study, there are questions from chapter 2, 3 and 4 of the book (updated and expanded edition). Otherwise it’s great!

Great accompanying workbook

I like this workbook because it helps me summarize and synthesize the helpful principles and practices found in the Boundaries text book. Gives a good set of starter questions and ways to organize an interactive group Bible Study that leverages the text. It also makes a very helpful independent study book for those who want to dig deeper into the text. I could see using this as a required resource in a formal course (not my current goal). Was well worth ordering.

Lo compré para regalas. Mi amiga está encantada con el workbook que le permite consolidar los conocimientos que adquiere con el libro

I made the mistake of purchasing this book as I was looking for a resource on boundaries for my work as a counsellor. The workbook is just a bunch of biblical versus and is completely useless. Unless you are looking for a religious text, I would not recommend.

This book is Christian focused so I was a bit wary because I wasn't sure if I would be able to use it in a non-religious context with my clients. I actually didn't realize that this was a religious text when I purchased it. However, I decided to give it a try and it is so well written with honestly great, sound advice that you can easily take the lessons into any religious or non religious context.

Consiglio assolutamente

I loved this work book on boundaries. As the Christian faith teaches its following to love ones neighbour.. this book explains that setting boundaries is not wrong for a Christian and that setting boundaries is actually healthy for both parties involved. A lovely readable book with space for the readers own thoughts.

This is the WORKBOOK!! Like a diary or journal to go WITH the actual book which has to be bought separately! So this is just to let you know.
