Healthy Boundaries

Standing Firm Without Building Walls
By J. Rowan

J. Rowan writes for caring people who have spent years believing that saying yes makes them generous and putting themselves last is simply what good people do—until exhaustion and resentment set in. Rather than rigid rules or emotional distance, the book shows how to recognize weak, porous, and rigid boundaries, understand why boundaries feel so hard when they were never modeled, and practice saying no and responding to pushback calmly. The fourth book in The Inner Skills Series, it treats boundaries as choices rooted in self-respect that protect well-being while strengthening relationships with partners, family, friends, and colleagues.
