(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Boundaries When to Say Yes When to Say No to Take Control of Your Life

This Book--> The Pencil That Will Help You Draw the Lines Wow, why didn't I ever know about this book? You don't hear much about it- I stumbled upon it browsing around one day. For people wondering if they should buy this book, get it if: -you're not turned off by a Christian writing approach -you feel like there's a problem because you're trying to be a good person all the time by always saying "yes" In a nutshell, this book is for people who don't know how to set boundaries for themselves. In other words, they're always saying "yes" to things and taking responsibility for things- even when it's not their job. And boundary lines of your responsibilities need to be present in more areas of your life than you might realize, such as... -your family -your friends -your mate -your kids -your self The book covers boundary conflicts in each of these areas leaving no stone unturned. Therefore, its no big deal if you have only one or two problem areas- just go to those sections. This book will help you realize what a boundary is, why it's okay to have them and just how to develop them. So if anything in this review sounds like if might apply to you- don't hesitate to check out the book. Other neat self-help books I liked include "Finding Happiness in a Frustrating World".
