About this listen

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!

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.

Likely the most comprehensive book on boundaries available. I hadn't a clue boundaries could be so all-encompassing.

Great Content read poorly

Content is good but be warned this has constant christian references. Narration was as if speaker was in a race. Some pauses between paragraphs and especially chapters, would have been sensible.
