Good information for adults struggling with boundaries with their parents, but I read it for the final chapter on how to identify emotionally mature people while dating. That chapter was mainly common sense (they ask questions about you, they don’t have a temper, they are steady and consistent emotionally, etc.).

Informative book which describes emotionally immature parents, their children, their relationships, childhood and adult difficulties, remediation, and tools for success. Very hopeful and difficult book to read.
I only wish that the book was longer and slower paced. It moves too quickly and lacks deep exploration of some issues. It is lacking on the intersection of emotional immaturity and race, gender, social class, etc.
I read it every few years as a way of checking in with my own personal development as I continually navigate relationships with parents and friends at various levels of emotional maturity.
