Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Boundaries
Henry Cloud · 1992
80/100
👍 Worth It
Three decades and millions of copies later, Boundaries still delivers a genuinely useful framework for people who struggle to say no — and the psychological grounding holds up even when the biblical scaffolding isn't your thing. Non-Christian readers may have to do some filtering, but the core relational insight about where you end and others begin is as practical now as it was in 1992. A warranted classic in its lane.
