    Summary/ Overview: Key ideas in Set Boundaries, Find Peace 00:00 Introduction 01:27 1 Healthy relationships need healthy boundaries. 02:31 1 Healthy relationships need healthy boundaries. Boundaries, 6st -Physical - body and personal space. -Sexual - limiting inappropriate conversation topics, sexually charged jokes. -Intellectural - opinions -Emotional - feelings -Material - -Time - 04:37 2 Most relationship problems are caused by boundaries that are either too porous or too rigid. Porous - people pleasing, codependence, enmeshment. Reclaim your autonomy insteed. Rigid - inability vulnerability. 07:47 3 Setting healthy boundaries requires clear communication and consistent action. Assertive, forego with/ be 'modelling'. 10:49 4 Dealing with boundary violations means issuing a consequence. 13:44 5 Healthy boundaries are also about having a good relationship with yourself. Ex: how you spend your money and eat. Self-care, authenticity. Say no when you dont have time, and things you dont like so you have more time to say yes to things you 'like'. 16:44 6 Setting boundaries with family is part of the process of becoming an adult. Distance, how often you see and phone eachother, emotional distance, distance intimate details and personal life. Practice asserting your will, solve your own problems, make own decisions, express your opinion, self-autonomy. Both ways. 19:43 7 Setting boundaries in the office is essential for enjoying your work and doing a good job. 22:31 8 Setting romantic boundaries means clearly communicating your needs and your expectations for the future. 25:50 Summary, steps: 1 identify the areas in your relationsships where you feel you need clearer boundaries 2 assert your needs to the person as confidently and straightforwardly as possible 3 deal maturely with whatever discomfort ensues from setting your boundary. it will only be awkward if you make it awkward. 4 back up your boundary if necessary by restating it or issues a consequence. -plan what you want to say in advance. 27:12 Exercise: 3 columns, 3x1 1st boundaries you want to implement 2nd polite but assertive statements expressing your boundary 3rd consequences that you could realistically enact if your boundary isnt honored www.blinkist.com/en/books/set-boundaries-find-peace-en

    In summary: the British Empire was 'neither entirely bad, nor entirely good', but left the world much better off in nearly every respect than if it had never existed. Its failings were the failings of all other contemporaneous empires with which it competed, while its achievements in medicine, science, technology, education, finance & economics, law & justice, incorruptible administration, and in developing concepts like individual rights, representative government, and rule of law, constituted a significant leap forward in human civilisation.

    This is what my wife says I am. She’s even listening to this audiobook. I wonder why though. I keep to myself. We barely talk. Or speak to each other. We’re like ghosts in a house. So I don’t know why she says I’m this. I’m not abusive at all. I’d love to love her but she keeps my at a distance. I feel some women who do something wrong in the relationship will tend to make the man out to be a narcissist to make the wrong doing justifiable. I think she’s actually the narcissist for acting like nothing happened. And continuing to throw shade at me. Crazy thing she’s listening to this! Most likely brainwashed by her other wrong doing wife friends.

    I've just finished the book 15 min ago. I think it's a very good book, very well written and entertaining. It gives you a general overview of economic thinking history, so you won't see any charts or formulas here. It is not economic history, so you won't find why certain civilizations collapsed. Great for both students in economics and curious outsiders.

      The book details abuse tactics and what an abuser will GET from their victim as a result (eg. throwing a tantrum about "tone" or "disrespect" whenever you ask them to do the dishes = you stop asking). So it is possible to use it as a manual to abuse, I guess? But just as good a chance this guy got called on his abuse and is calling THAT abuse.

    So basically….sounds like Lundy is describing an addict and that abuse is a lifelong addiction. They are addicted to abusing. Functioning drug addicts/functioning alcoholics = do their best to conceal their addiction. Same goes with abusers= Mr good guy into everyone outside the house but a terror at home. street angels, home devils. So to conclude, addicts cannot be helped unless they kick the addiction which is unlikely.

    Oh my goodness, this was my wife and my ex and my mum. Crikeys, I even recognize it in my sister. Thinking about it, it's no wonder so many more men are on the streets, failing school, losing their kids and committing suicide .. no support and being falsely accused as the abuser, which I reckon would make anyone look angry (men tend not to use the tears). It's a terrible thing to promote 'abuse' as a gender issue .. that is antiquated and damaging. Research shows, as men knew anyway, that women are more abusive and instigate physical abuse.

And I do not think this book labels abuse as a gender issue. The therapist so happens to specialise in helping men who are abusive to become better. The same way some people specialise in helping women who are abusive to become better. There indeed needs to be more support for male victims of abuse. However research does not show that women are more abusive. That is incorrect. Please do not aim to make abuse about gender, as you assumed this author of this book was doing as well.
