Rate this book
Discover the power of self-love, and learn how to set healthy boundaries - without feeling guilty. Do you ever wonder what it would be like if the people you care about respected your personal space? Do you wish that there was an easy way to say "No" every time you don't want to say "Yes"? Or do you simply want to pursue self-love and not feel guilty about it? If this is you, then you've probably had moments of trying to please others - often, to your own detriment. Perhaps you have an inability to say "No" because you don't want to disappoint or anger the other person... leading you to do things you never wanted to do in the first place... If this happens too often, eventually, people will start taking you for granted - and you won't be taken seriously even when you try to say "No." What's worse, when you do try to set up boundaries, people will label you as mean or moody. It will seem impossible to make people respect your decisions without starting conflict. But there's a simple way to solve your problems! You can start doing what YOU want to do. You don't have to compromise your individuality just to be "considerate" of others. You can set healthy boundaries, and make your friends, family and parents respect that boundary. In Healthy Boundaries , here's just a taste of what you'll And much more . Setting up boundaries isn't about being it's about acknowledging that your well-being comes first. When you feel good, everything around you will be affected positively - including the people you care about. You don't have to shield everyone else from pain anymore - realize that you're the one who's hurting, and do something about it. If you're ready to start living the life you deserve without feeling guilty, then scroll up and click the "Add to Cart" button right now!

This is a great book for beginners who need some kind of "step-by-step" guidance to understand their emotions, accept them and start building better boundaries.

It’s clear and structured, great for beginners but..... it felt a bit too light or surface-level at times. I liked it but something was missing to make it truly impactful.

If you needed better boundaries, this is the book your friend would write for you.

I bought this book hoping it would help a person who is close to me set better boundaries in their life. Chase hill tells us of his poor boundaries and how some motivational instagram posts changed his life and sent him down a path of self discovery and psychology research. Short version - it worked and now he’s a life coach.

This is not a book written by a neuroscientist. I’ve read a few. Its much more user friendly and less scientific but gets its point across well enough - think a higher level of the OSI model. Example - “when fear rises up, concentrate on deep breaths, and never give up”. Good advice, no science. Or on page 157: “an amazing quote I once read was, ‘Trusting you is my decision. Proving me wrong is yours.’ “ (No reference included…) But if you are in a place where you need that sort of advice, you no doubt will find something here that will help you. It’s all common sense in a way - but in this case, it’s not just hearing it from a different source that it’s helpful, but the practical and step by step delivery that I feel will help turn people’s lives around. The challenge is committing to reading it and committing to giving the advice a go.

But. It does feel a bit like a diet book written by someone whose not a dietician or has any qualifications in the area. Or written by an undergrad who mentions lots of references to prove they’ve read them, but doesn’t elaborate on them to show you the full context, background, relevance or application. If you are having problems with boundaries, read it. You may find that when thinking of specific issues, some bits are really useful. A lot of it won’t be, as there are lots of smart comebacks to situations you probably aren’t experiencing, too. If you find that statement applies to you, you won’t be missing much if you skip those chapters… If you are after a bit more meat and analysis on the science of boundaries, I think I would look for a different book. But hey. Horses for courses. I hope the person I bought it for finds it helpful.

Loved this book!

I have already put into action many of the suggestions from this book. It was well written and something that everyone can certainly use. As far as not getting five stars I just have to be critical and say it could’ve used more editing, there were several missing words but putting that aside the message was clear and concise and helpful and something I needed and will be putting into practice. I will also be reading this book again!

Why Boundaries are Essential

Defining and setting boundaries is difficult. I have struggled with this task for most of my life. Healthy Boundaries by Chase Hill is essentially reading for learning how regain control when others exercise too much control in your life and frustrate your core needs.

Using Conversational language that is easy to follow, there is no reason not to benefit from the advice and retake your life.

very informative, I really struggle with conceptualising boundaries irl so this was very helpful in laying it out clearly. As an autistic & traumatised person these things do not come naturally to me. I do think with this new knowledge I will be able to make some better choices.

This book is a practical guide to configure boundaries with parents, friends and in the workplace.

It offers conversation starters and key issues to monitor. Most importantly, it does not blame 'the other person' for the boundary issues. Instead, it recognizes that boundaries are agreed between two parties - even implicitly. But boundaries must be renegotiated overtly and consciously.

It was ok.
I found it a bit repetitive at times.

I didn’t learn much as I do a lot of the things recommend in this book already. For me it was the chapter about graceful tactics that I maybe took the most from.

This book is for people with tiny to no boundaries, rather than those who have some. (That’s what I think)

This one was a short read - ended up finishing it in a few sit downs. It’s nothing super new, but I did find that a couple of the examples were helpful for me to think about for my daily life and conversations I’d have with people.

Some solid advice, but fairly standard for the topic; nothing groundbreaking. Could benefit from another round of editing to catch grammatical and formatting errors.

If you want a whole book telling you what to do in a snarky manner. Every possible scenario was dragged up and I felt I needed to put down boundaries with the author after..
