Safe People will help you discover why good people can get
tangled in bad relationships, how to avoid repeating your own mistakes,
and how to pick safe, healthy people for the friends you make and the
company you keep.
Too many of us have invested in relationships that have gone wrong.
Maybe you've been judged, manipulated, or controlled. Or maybe you've
trusted the wrong people in the past. It's easy to make the same
mistakes of judgment over and over--or, worse, to give up on trying to
have great, authentic relationships again. But it doesn't have to be
that way.
In Safe People, Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend teach you that
being with an unsafe person can be damaging to your confidence, your
trust in others, and even your health. You'll learn that you have the
power to surround yourself with accepting, honest, and safe people who
draw you closer to being the person God intended you to be.
Drs. Cloud and Townsend, authors of the New York Times bestseller
Boundaries, are here to share the lessons they've learned in their
years of practicing psychology and studying the patterns and practices
that support clear, biblical boundaries. In Safe People, they offer
guidance for making safe choices in all of your day-to-day
relationships, from family and friends to colleagues and partners.
Safe People will give you the tools you need to recognize what makes
people relationally safe, form positive relationships, and even become a
safe person along the way. Drs. Cloud and Townsend share expert insights
that will help you ask important questions:
- How can I learn to pick better friends?
- Why do I choose people who let me down?
- How did I end up with this critical boss?
- How do I attract irresponsible people?
- Why did I invest money with that unscrupulous person?
- What is it about me that draws the wrong types of people to me?
- Why am I drawn to the wrong types of people?
It's time to revitalize your connections and finally start enjoying the
healthy, balanced relationships that you deserve.
