About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Dr. David J. Lieberman introduces a wonderful right-to-the-point mini audiobook that tells listeners how to put an end to boundary issues - once and for all!

A work colleague with whom you have only a casual relationship asks you to co-sign a loan for him...your neighbor asks you to keep her antisocial, flea-riddled cat for the weekend—again. We've all faced sticky situations like these—unreasonable demands on our time and inappropriate requests from family, friends, co-workers, or casual acquaintances. We want to say "No". We have the right to say "No"—always. And yet we don't. Some people will take "No" for an answer, and that's the end of it. But some people don't.

What do you do when the person on the other end of your "No" flat out refuses to accept your "No"? You'll discover exactly what to say as well as learn the underlying psychology that motivates them to always ask, and you to always give in! Plus, you'll learn step-by-step what you can do about it.

I feel like this is 90% copy paste of a chapter in the Charles L whithfield book, Boundaries and Relationships. Or the other way round. I even checked the authors to make sure they were not the same as was very surprised. Don't know who copied whom, but this is a 30 min book, whereas boundaries and relationship is 4-5h. So this is very short. But ok for a listen.

The fundamental message is that you need self respect to be able to set boundaries. That's fair enough, but I didn't discern useful strategies to build self respect, or deal with people whilst your self respect is low.
Inclusion of several biblical references means this book might work better for confirmed Christians rather than people of no systematic faith or atheists.

Very short; not much substance
