Good content, took time to get used to narrator
after listening to the lines of brene brown, the narrator on this one could have paused and inflected more. I found out hard to follow at first with all of the scripture references and chapter and heading changes. it was a bit distracting. after awhile, I did get into it.
loved the chapter on parenting. there was lots of great stuff!

Enlightening to live a full life
This book has helped be begin to understand the importance of valuing myself to better value and respect others. I have a strong sense of service, but at a cost. This book has helped me begin to weight the cost and evaluate what is truly important, why I respond like I do, and how to respond even better, by taking greater responsibility for my actions, and honestly loving myself and others better. I still have a long way to go, but i have taken a step or two along the path.
Thank you for sharing your important insights, and helping courage to grow.

It’s a good book for advice, just too much Christian references
A lot of books don’t give advice this book does. Lots of biblical references…the book definitely would appeal to christians. Some of the quotes could’ve been taken elsewhere and not only bible. Narration is good. I just wished this book would clip the Christian parts out. It makes it very lengthy and Sunday school lesson.

Practical steps to change your life
Loved how the steps were clearly defined & could be implemented by anyone needing to set necessary boundaries. I liked how statements were supported by scriptures in the Bible. Being a Christian with important values around loving one another, it gave me confidence to actively carry out the steps needed to bring more peace & harmony in my life. I also love that it helps set boundaries in ALL areas of life. I plan to pick up a hard copy to read & refer to again & again. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is having problems saying no, always putting others before themselves & have determined the need to establish boundaries in their lives but doesn’t know where to start.
