I can think of no more timely and urgent subject for the success and health of Life on Planet Earth than that of Human Boundaries. Anne Linden's new book is a much needed and wonderful contribution to this field, and it gets better each time I read it. Not only will it give you lots to look at and think about, it gives you ways to practice establishing your own boundaries that are simple, clear and effective. It is full of detailed information about the different types of boundaries, their structure, and their psychological developmental underpinnings, as well as many examples of how these boundaries are experienced in daily life. To clearly and firmly sense your own boundary is to know yourself. It is the basis of all healthy and loving relationships. Read this book slowly, and then read it again. --Paul Carter, Ph.D., Human Relations Counselor
