Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Wherever you are in your life, you have choices. You can choose to ask for or allow others to help you with things, or you can choose to overextend yourself to keep the good graces of others. #2 Boundary issues are extremely common, and they typically come from bad boundaries.

I learned to avoid conflict and anger by reading people and scanning situations. #4 I grew up in a household where my four sisters and I acted out our repressed anger by door slamming, shit talking, and occasionally fighting. I learned to bury my true feelings and adapt them into more allowable ones.
