This is a book aimed at women， because it seems （from personal experience） that women have a harder time setting boundaries。Right from an early age， many girls are taught to serve and to please， to accept that boys and men are more important and to put them first。 So we grow up as people pleasers。 Meanwhile boys are taught to get out in the world， to be adventurous。 They set their own boundaries。it's no wonder then that grown women struggle to set boundaries。 Even now， women are told that they c This is a book aimed at women， because it seems （from personal experience） that women have a harder time setting boundaries。Right from an early age， many girls are taught to serve and to please， to accept that boys and men are more important and to put them first。 So we grow up as people pleasers。 Meanwhile boys are taught to get out in the world， to be adventurous。 They set their own boundaries。it's no wonder then that grown women struggle to set boundaries。 Even now， women are told that they can multi-task and men can't: therefore they can do more， juggling busy jobs， kids， and housework， whereas men can only focus on one thing。 Whoever invented this lie （and I'm pretty sure it was a man！） needs a medal for "Excellence in Marketing" - selling women the story that they can do it all and have it all， leaving women exhausted trying to please everyone and themselves; while men get off lightly because they （poor things！） can't multi-task。 Leaving them more time to do what they want to do。This book addresses the fact that many women struggle to set boundaries， and gives you ideas on how to challenge your boundaries - not just the ones in your head: but how to challenge the boundaries that you have either set yourself with others or they have set for you and you have complied with。The author has personal experience of boundary issues， as well as being a psychotherapist and realising that most of her clients have boundary issues。Even if you think you set all of your own boundaries， you may have your eyes opened by this book - there are probably plenty of boundaries that you didn't set， and if you want them the change， by the end of this book you will have ideas of how to do it。 。。。more
