If you struggle with boundaries this book will explain it all. I feel like I have a new understanding about all facets of boundaries and the author gives you plenty of examples so you don’t end the book with any questions. Brilliantly written. In fact, I’m gonna listen again!

Must read for most people

This book is an instruction manual for giving others an instruction manual on how to support your needs, have productive conversation with you, and enjoy a mutually fulfilling relationship.

The book was full of stories, which demonstrate rather than preach. The stories illustrate how resentment can be created, as well as how it can be avoided. Not only resentment of others, but resentment of ourselves and others’ resentment of us.

The theme of being clear and kind underscores every single boundary tool in this book’s box. This is a perfect mantra for those of us who feel guilty when setting boundaries because kindness is built in. When we are intentionally kind, we can rest assured we are giving as much as we should. Oh- and “as much as we should” is not the same as “as much as we can.”

One of my favorite takeaways from this book is about restricting boundaries to our own behavior: when X happens, I do Y. I liked the green/yellow/red levels of Y (my behavior that enforces the boundary). This puts the power in our hands and does not rely on the behavior of others changing for our needs to be met. Boundaries are about making sure we are the ones in charge of respecting our needs. This may mean that we realize what we need is to limit our time with people we care about, so heads up- your life may look different after reading this book and setting clear, kind boundaries. If it does, congratulations. It most likely means you are valuing your own health, needs, and values, and allowing others to respect those things, too, with as much clarity as they need to make their choice and act on it.

The timing of this book was perfect for me, and I highly recommend listening to it on Audible if you’re an auditory learner, or prefer “interview for information” to “read for information” as a skill. Melissa Urban’s voice is clear and kind, and I felt empowered rather than lectured, as I have with some other “self-help” section book readers. She has a very “you’ve got this” tone.

Finally, I want to thank the author for her generosity in sharing personal stories and openly donating her experience to the benefit of her listeners’ and readers’ learning. Melissa Urban’s vulnerability, within the boundaries of what she felt comfortable sharing, is not only kind to those of us who relate to her, but to those who may relate to other characters in her story (read: other real people in her life).

Both the author and boundaries are generous.

Boundaries are GENEROUS

I knew my life was a mess and I needed to change patterns and behaviors. This book has changed my life profoundly. I realized I don’t set boundaries because I didn’t know the words. Now I have them and it works.

Life changing

The part that I enjoyed the most was setting boundaries for myself. I had never thought about how important setting self-made boundaries would be for my mental health. I highly recommend this book and loved Melissa reading it.

I have always enjoyed MU’s thoughts on social media and was glad to have been able to listen to her book. Even though we don’t see eye to eye on some personal things, I appreciate the value her approach adds to my arsenal of healthy living.

Helpful & thoughtful

Well worth a listen!

This book is completely transformative and practical. I’ve already started using multiple scripts and practices taught in this book. I also loved that this is narrated by the author, giving a personal touch. Listening to this honestly left like talking to my therapist, or an old friend. The information in this book is also very easy to absorb and use in daily living. Thank you Melissa Urban, you’ve helped me take back my time and strengthen my relationships!

One of the best books I’ve ever read!!
