The Boundaries book series has transformed marriages, families, organizations, and individuals around the world. With over 4 million copies sold, these bestselling books are widely considered the top choice to find answers to tough questions, such as:

  • Can I set limits and still be a loving person?

  • What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries?

  • What do legitimate limits look like?

  • Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider telling someone “no”?

  • What can I do when someone wants more time, love, energy, or money than I’m comfortable giving?

Some people focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. That’s why the ability to set clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. In relationships, boundaries define who we are and who we are not, which impacts every part of our lives:

  • Physical: The wisdom to determine who may touch us and under what circumstances.

  • Mental: The freedom to express our own thoughts and opinions.

  • Spiritual: The clarity to distinguish God’s will for our lives.

  • Emotional: The ability to manage our own feelings and disengage from the manipulative emotions of others.

Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend explain how to set healthy boundaries with our parents, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves. (Read the article What Are Healthy Boundaries? to learn more.) There’s a Boundaries book dedicated to every area of life. Each title is unique and features expert advice that you won’t find in the other books:
