Safe People: How to Find Relationships That Are Good for You and Avoid Those That Aren't Audiobook

" It's just not about others, as we tend to have the goal to discern other people. But it's double sword that this book is about ourselves, whether we are safe to others too. We need to discern if others are safe to self, but we have the responsibility to God to discern if we are a safe person to this society/community/people around us. :-) Very thought-provoking and insightful book. "

" Ever wonder what makes people tick, and why some people seem dangerous to be around and others don't? This book helps explain a lot of it. "

" Excellent insights "

" If you go into it with an open, prayerful heart and mind, this book can change your life. I've finished the book, but I am working through the book and it's corresponding DVDs with a group at my church. I'm learning so much about myself and the people I surround myself with. I feel safer already! :) "

" Great book that I refer to often when doing therapy with clients who have been hurt repeatedly in relationships. This book has character traits listed of people who are emotionally safe and trustworthy. "

" This is the book that I'm working on now. Actually I'm leading a group study on it with about 4 other women. It's a great follow up to Boundaries. I always thought of myself as a 'safe person'. But after working through this book, I realize that I've been in search of such a person for ME! It's taught me some valuable information that I hope to implement into my lifestyle. "

" Practical, useful information to help you grow in relationships. The thing I like about this book is they don't encourage you to only look for unsafe traits in other ppl, but to look at yourself, thus empowering you to grow & change. "

" This is truly another outstanding book by one of my favorite authors. Dr. Cloud speaks very openly about people with predator like qualities and how to recognize such in anyone; including ourselves. "

" Once I read this book, I was able to find and invest my time into friendships worth keeping "

" I give this book out like candy! "

" This is great too. If you don't have the skills in picking out good people to associate with, this is for you. I tend to think all people are nice and I don't want to hurt their feelings so I allow alot of people into my life that should have never been allowed. "

" Good little book when working things out and growing. "

" This is the second time I have read this book. It is excellent! "

" Great read! Propels you to be honest about self and those around you! "

" Funny title and cover but there is some good information in this book. "

" Good information from a Christian point of view. Interesting, but hard for me get through for some reason, even though it is not a large book. Would like to have my own copy for reference. "

" Essential reading for those pursuing multiple intimate relationships. "

" I cannot get enough of this book. I am going to read it again and again and again....I can't believe how much I learned and am still learning from this book. I highly recommend any books by Cloud and Townsend. "

" Excellent content about healthy relationships, personal growth, and redeeming one's difficult relationships. "

" A great book! Helps you take a look at your own character and made me want to strive to be a better person, friend, partner, etc. I read the book with a group of ladies as a study and we discussed each chapter as a group. It was very meaningful and insightful to me. "

" I used much of this information when I worked in child protective services. It helped me to help those who made &quot;bad&quot; relationship choices "

" We all hunger for connections with people. This short, concise book tells us who is good for us and why. "
