This book not only talks about boundaries, but also talks about the environment, social media and health.
I listened to the audiobook version of this and loved it. The narrator was perfect for it.
My take away was that I need to
make healthy boundaries and sticking to it. Practice, practice, practice.
Peoples fears, and insecurities cannot be set on a scale of measurement. We are each unique, which means its different for every single person. I was so glad to hear that.
I also learned that it’s not fair to myself or others to not know what I want. Which in turn won’t create healthy boundaries.
Things I learned that made me think:
• Sleep is super important
• Speak up when necessary
• Push past feelings of rejection
• What fills me up?
• What do I like to do?
• What do I not like doing?
• Who am I?
I’m going to start working on how to accomplish/practice these things to start my journey. I found this book very helpful and it also came with work sheets to help me understand where I’m at.
I highly recommend this book. It’s got a lot of useful, helpful and encouraging things to share.
Thank you Tantor Audiobook via Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I thought this book was quite good. I related to a lot of the anecdotes in this book. I was wishing for a bit of a deeper look into boundaries and how to set them and how to bounce back after they’ve been violated, but the book was short, so it only covered the basics (at least the “basics” you’d learn in CBT). Overall, I think it was a very good overview of boundaries. Some of the subjects felt a bit overdone; for example, social media and technological boundaries. Yes, it’s important to set these boundaries. However, information on how to set technological boundaries is available in many other books and even videos online. I would have liked more unique information. 3.5 stars overall. I think if the book was more in depth, I would have rated it higher, but it’s a good resource or refresher about boundaries nonetheless.
