He has an extensive executive coaching background and experience as a leadership consultant, devoting the majority of his time working with CEOs, leadership teams, and executives to improve performance, leadership skills, and culture. My dear friend gave me this as a gift in a phenomenally difficult season and I knew then that I probably needed it – but it took more than a year for me to get the courage to open it up.

Similarly, too strong competitive feelings at work might be unresolved issues from a childhood struggle with a sibling. They assert that love is primarily a feeling, rather than an action (indeed, that action without feeling is worthless in the case of love); this may correspond with their experience, but it implies that a marriage without "that loving feeling" should end. Unfortunately, I'm in need of more escapism and fun right now than thought-provoking, so I'll have to check it out again at a later date. The final few chapters, especially, have very good points that are important to internalize if you have any boundary problems at all (and most people probably do).Working with The Better Boundaries Workbook is like having personal sessions with a very wise and compassionate therapist.

Even the anecdotes felt useful in this book as they gave practical and clear examples of the boundary-making process.

He has earned three Gold Medallion awards, and was awarded the distinguished Retailers Choice award for God Will Make A Way. Maintaining your boundaries is good for other people; it will help them learn what their families of origin did not teach them: to respect other people. It is still as poignant as when I first read it and I consider the information in this book crucial to my emotional intelligence and development.
