How to set healthy boundaries
A FRESH LOOK AT PERSONAL BOUNDARIES THAT WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE FOREVER
If you ever find yourself in a situation where someone is taking advantage of your time, mental energy, or money, you need to set boundaries with them—and soon! They might not realize they're doing anything wrong, but it's your job to let them know.
If we don't set boundaries for ourselves or our loved ones, it can cause resentment or bitterness to build up—and no one wants to be stuck in that loop.
Shift your mindset by:
Discerning the difference between exercising boundaries and issuing an ultimatum.
Setting clear boundaries with people in a way that shows your commitment to be respected.
Assessing the root of the need for the boundary in the first place.
Saying no in the right way, at the right time, and with respect.
Transitioning out of “victim mode” to take your power back.
The time for reassessing boundaries has come! Setting boundaries helps us establish a sense of self-respect, emotional safety, and builds healthy relationships with others. This book offers hope by giving you the tools to break free from cyclic patterns in life so that no one else gets hurt (or takes advantage) again.

I really love this book and it definitely made me sit up and take stock! This talented author shares some of her own experiences to get the message across to readers. The book talks about having no limits, free reign to do what you want without boundaries or fear of being watched and judged for our actions. It gives great tips and hints if you are in a situation that seems hopeless and how to take a step back and deal with it. I found I could really relate to some of the boundary violations and loved the tips on how best to deal with them. It's always a problem of what to say so you don't hurt people's feelings, but this book makes you realise you, your time and your needs are just as important as theirs.
The added food for thoughts at the end of each chapter is a great summary to reinforce what has been said to really makes you think. Great inspirational book, certainly worth reading. Strongly recommend.

This book helped me on my journey
Since I am on the journey to learning about boundaries I feel this book helped me a whole lot. Throughout the book, we are given a system that we can create healthy boundaries for our own mental and emotional health that meet our priorities, from relationships to situations to tasks in our daily life. I really appreciated how the book was laid out in understanding our own needs and those of others. The author makes some valid points about how sometimes slowing down is crucial for our own well-being and growth. My favorite part in this book was learning to say no.

Insightful and thought provoking into the world of boundaries
As I started this book and learned more about Ms. Wanders personal story, I was not sure where the book would go. I was delightfully surprised at the various topics around boundaries and I did pick up some "food for thought" as I contemplated my own world's boundaries. If you feel that you are getting ran over all the time, or if it seems that you feel that you get in knocked down constantly, this book may be exactly what you are looking for. The advice is practical and deals with many scenarios. While I was not offended, there are some that could be turned off by the author's voice and style. For me, I felt the author was being pure to herself and it came out through her voice with some helpful actions.

Absolutely loving this author! Her perspective is refreshing and unlike anyone I have come across. I like her no-cares-given attitude, and her insistence on taking responsibility for your own actions.
There was also really fascinating chapter in there about getting rid of the need to set boundaries in the first place, because if your life is flowing, you won’t even need to do it. This was a fascinating concept. I had never thought about. This is a short and no-fluff read that I couldn’t recommend more highly.
