This book REQUIRES a separate purchase of the DVD. Amazon fails to mention that. Amazon also fails to mention that the book is totally useless without the required DVD. Just know what you're getting. If you are involved as a participant in a study group and the leader has the DVD, the book will be useful and is at a good price. If you planned on this book being used as a personal growth tool, just know that without the purchase of the DVD, this book will be useless to you.Boundaries

Eve Soleil "Grown-up Girl" (Brooklyn) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Boundaries Participant's Guide---Revised: When To Say Yes, How to Say No to Take Control of Your Life (Paperback)

I'm living in a situation that is not what I'd ever expected in my life. We decided 4 years ago to move into my husband's parents' house. We have two children. We have the first two floors, his parents have the top two floors. From DAY ONE they always wanted to "help" by TAKING the kids....something I never wanted but didn't have the guts, self-esteem, whatever, to say NO and create the necessary boundaries that would enable me to live in this situation. So for 4 VERY LONG TEDIOUS years, I suffered, playing the role of "victim". Until I found this book. It came two weeks ago. 5 days ago I was able to clearly, logically, simply express my boundaries without attacking (something I had fantasized about IMMENSELY) or making anyone feel bad. This is a very powerful book, powerful information, empowering to the soul. I truly love this book and already let it enable me to also heal another area that had major boundary issues. It is so good. My only advice is to read it SLOWLY and digest it; let it creep into your subconscious and inspire ideas. When the ideas come up, if they feel right, act on them immediately. You will NOT be disappointed.

Good luck to anyone with boundary issues. This book is truly spectacular.

The sale of the book was misrepresented on Amazon. I thought the book was the actual novel, not a study guide. I am very upset over the misrepresentation. I would recommend people buy the book off the store shelf rather than from Amazon and get the wrong book.
