About this audiobook

Join the millions who have learned how to take control of their lives by setting healthy boundaries with their spouses, children, friends, parents, co-workers, and even themselves—in order to live life to the fullest.

  • Do you feel like your life has spiraled out of control?
  • Have you focused so much on being loving and unselfish that you've forgotten your own limits?
  • Do you find yourself taking responsibility for other people's feelings and problems?

 

In Boundaries, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend share the lessons they've learned in their years of practicing psychology and studying the patterns and practices that support clear biblical boundaries. You'll learn the ins and outs of setting the boundaries that will transform your daily life.

This updated and expanded edition of Boundaries, answers the most common questions on the science behind establishing boundaries:

  • Can I set limits and still be a loving person?
  • What are legitimate boundaries?
  • How do I effectively manage my digital life so that it doesn't control me?
  • What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries?
  • How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money?
  • Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries?

 

Discover the countless ways that Boundaries can change your life for the better today!

    It might be a good book, im not sure, but I personally couldn’t finish it. Practically every sentence is “backed” by bible. Every other sentence is “chapter … verse …” . After some time it gets really annoying. Also the whole idea to back up the book with bible seems a little extra. There aren’t any case studies or psychological approach to it, just verses of bible after every sentence.

    Really good content - I’m not a church goer, so I found all of the references to bible verses a little distracting and not necessary. There are some good lessons to learn and I appreciated the wisdom nuggets!

    Some good advice, but this was much more Christian than I was expecting. Stupidly, I only read the intro to the books blurb and I didn't realise this is an extremely Christian take on boundaries. I don't wish to offend anyone, but the constant references to Bible verses to back up the points being made are tiring and irrelevant if you are not a Christian. The writing and production are good, but if you don't want or need a Bible verse to inform your thinking then there are more helpful books out there.

    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.

    It was the Light I needed to see clearly again. Through the lens of scripture, I can see how things were meant to be. I now understand what is within my locus of control and what is outside it. Living a new life with appropriate boundaries will take a lot of practice but it's a journey I'm willing to embark on. This was a great listen. The Truths cut across every area of life. I recommend it.

    This is beautiful work. I enjoyed every bit of it. The h*ters who are complaining are just being ungrateful. The writer wrote from his POV. Go write your own book instead of writing negative comments/reviews here. If you're not a religious person there are other books that suit your needs. Just quit bringing down someone's hard work?

    The book used Biblical principles to outline why we need to set limits in our lives. It helped me to examine myself more clearly and take responsibility instead of placing blame.

    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.
