- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loved this book, Christian pov so be prepared for bible references. Not every chapter will apply to you but very insightful things in here nonetheless
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I learned so much from reading this book. I like the Christian viewpoint the authors take also. It's helped me understand how important it is to draw appropriate boundaries and to take care of myself. It's hard to reconcile with the "love others first" teachings of churches, so this book helped put it all in a Biblical perspective.
