About When To Say Yes, How to Say No by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend

Boundaries affect literally every area of our lives. They define who we are and who we aren’t. They consist of personal property lines but, ironically, are the only way we can achieve the freedom to have our own thoughts, opinions, feelings, and self-respect. According to the authors, “Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances. Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions. Emotional boundaries help us deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others.”

In When To Say Yes, How to Say No , Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend offer biblically-based advice to show us how to form healthy boundaries with our spouses, parents, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves.
