An interesting book. It's lengthier than what I'd like, but it's full of juice.
Sometimes the author provides too much of an “example lists” and it feels like a collection of Instagram posts (and it actually is). Then there's some logical and well thought content/idea.
The books contains way more thoughts than what the title is about. All interconnected and going around boundaries, but still - it would've been better to be split into two/three smaller books.
Either way, I think it's worth reading, especially if you're struggling with boundaries.
What I disliked is the around-twenty-times “in my 14 years of practicing therapy” along with the instant context switching. Both, I believe, are because of the content being stitched from numerous smaller chunks.
This book is not for everyone, but it's the only self help book I've read in recent memory that I didn't think needed to be shorter. If you want clear examples of good boundaries in a variety of different settings, this is for you. The author did a good job reading her own material and I came away with great appreciation for her work.
