A well written and considered strategy to discover, reinforce and communicate professional and personal boundaries. It is a practical book and does offer considered arguments to ponder in different locations and roles in our lives.
While this is a personally-inflected view, and cited research would be welcome, it does offer assistance, guidance and help for those in difficult and compromising personal and professional situations.

I love the straightforward approach that boundaries are essential in our personal lives as well as in our public lives. That we all had experienced in good and bad times. This book helped me in interactions that could brought out the worse in me , but boundaries help me to regain control of not only the outside , but the inside of what I choose to share. Thank you.

The author captures different ways and areas where we should create boundaries. The social media boundary was definitely one I can use. I was very impressed with the bonus chapter at the end of the book, which provided a great tool for reinforcing what was covered in the book. The bonus chapter empowers readers to put boundary setting techniques into practice.
