The Joy of Being Selfish: Why you need boundaries and how to set them by Michelle Elman

funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

4.75

A great book that really lays out what boundaries are and how to set them in an apprroacheable way. Michelle's personal stories help to bring life to the lessons she teaches. There is a lot of poignant information that puts into perspective why "being selfish" is a joy. Most of the book was paced very well, but towards the end I felt it was a bit slower (for my taste). Sometimes it was simplistic for me BUT I have done a lot of therapy and these are all concepts I was already familiar with. A good starting point for people. Overall, excellent read, and super helpful for those who struggle to set boundaries!
