Boundaries: When to Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life by John Townsend, Henry Cloud

4.0

I really liked the premise of this book--which was the importance of setting healthy boundaries in your life, but I honestly didn't like the actual book. I thought it was too long; they repeated themselves needlessly and added things in that are simply obvious (for example, they spent a few paragraphs in more than one place in the book on how our skin is a boundary, duh). It was also very Christian, and I felt they pushed that too much. Some of the time when they were referencing scriptures, it felt like a stretch, that they just wanted to reference more scriptures and it didn't actually back up or fit with what they were discussing. I am Christian, so I didn't mind the references, I just thought they were trying too hard with it. That being said, I did think it had some good points and ideas. I was able to take this book and better my life still.
