Resumen del Editor

Full of practical tips and how-tos, this audiobook will help you make your relationships better, deepen your intimacy with people you care for, and cultivate more love, understanding, and respect between you and others.

Successful people confront well. They know that setting healthy boundaries improves relationships and can solve important problems. They have discovered that uncomfortable situations can be avoided or resolved through direct conversation. But most of us don't know how to have difficult conversations, and we see confrontation as scary or adversarial.

Authors Henry Cloud and John Townsend take the principles from their award-winning and best-selling book, Boundaries, and apply them to a variety of the most common difficult situations and relationships in order to:

• Show how healthy confrontation can improve relationships
• Present the essentials of a good boundary-setting conversation
• Provide tips on preparing for the conversation
• Show how to tell people what you want, stop bad behavior, and deal with counterattack
• Give actual examples of conversations to have with your spouse, your date, your kids, your coworker, your parents, and more!

This audiobook is a practical handbook on positive confrontation that will help you finally have that difficult conversation you've been avoiding. Includes a discussion guide.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Religious

I didn’t know this book would be full of quotes from the Bible. I’m not against it but I’m not religious.

Cloud and Townsend did it again.

This book gives practical suggestions for how to do that difficult task of having the conversation you've been avoiding for way too long. I have long been an avid reader of everything they write. When ever they offer a workbook with any title I encourage you to consider buying that also.

Owning my role in avoiding difficult conversations because of my own fears of the outcome.

Much needed guidance on how to live a life according to God's plan when it comes to interacting with people we know and love.

Learned so many tools for communication.

This book was easy to listen to for immediate use. I feel empowered with knowledge for hard stuff that no one likes to deal with.

Great read

loved it. Biblically based truths on how to have difficult conversation. I look forward to implementing these truths.

2 or more

Something I would like to listen to again. And maybe more than twice just to get all of the beneficial information from it.

Excellent insight!

This is excellent insight on dealing with difficult relationships and also taking responsibility for yourself and your own issues. I especially appreciated his practical application of one of my favorite verses, how to do justly and love mercy and walk humbly with your God.
I highly recommend this book!

I highly recommend this book for all people!

I gained some very helpful strategies for having healthy confrontational conversations with people! I highly recommend it.

Very needed book

Awesome book to know how to get the book "Boundaries" into action in your life. I needed this to learn confront and most important to learn to reconcile , with boundaries .

Bible based

There are some good pieces of advice buried in the book. But the author appears to get paid for every time he says "Grace" judging from the frequency of its use. Could have done without the regular interjection of the Bible or God.
