This book is easy to read, straight to the point, and with excellent examples and stories. I had forgotten how to set boundaries, and I know where that comes from. For specific reasons that I'm not willing to develop on, I felt I had some obligations to a certain relative of mine after a big verbal fight we had a few years ago. I took the blame instead of defending myself. I did and accepted things for this person that I normally didnt accept, and started losing confidence. I chose this book because I felt I needed to learn to set boundaries again, not really knowing what to expect. To my surprise, this book was very helpful, really amazing! I applied what the author suggested. Hadn't even finished the book yet I cancelled an appointment, and made several changes in my schedule of the week. Which led to a huge verbal fight again with that same relative, but this time I got a lot of stuff off my chest, I didn't care anymore! I found out that during all those years I should have never given in or blamed myself. All that I allowed and forced myself to do stopped that very day. Thank you Stephanie for your wonderful book, I now feel really good about myself.
