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

I have not finished this book, but it's right on target so far. Excellent! -- Great insight!

An excellent source of guidance in assessing the likelihood of a good relationship (or an unhealthy relationship). Have used as a reference in divorce recovery classes to understand what may have contributed to the broken relationship (e.g. was my spouse "safe" and/or am I "safe"?).Safe People: How to Find Relationships That Are Good for You and Avoid Those That Aren't -- Safe People by Drs. Cloud and Townsend

Since all of us have, at one time or another, encountered unsafe people, this is a book you wish you had read early in life. The authors describe 11 personality traits and 9 interpersonal traits of unsafe people. As you are reading about these unsafe people traits, you also learn what safe people are like. The book has a section that explains how we got to be unsafe people. The reader is encouraged to take a look at himself to determine whether he has a "safety deficit". A very beneficial book! -- Safe People

It's been a long time since I learned as much from a book as I did from Safe People. I recommend this for any person on earth. You will learn a WEALTH of information about your friends, and about yourself. Not only that, but it's USEFUL information that will help you evaluate and change unhealthy behaviors in yourself. And it will help you recognize those people who are unhealthy for YOU, and to see your patterns of perhaps choosing the wrong people. Please buy this book! You will never regret it. -- Awesome Book.

This was quite a helpful book, but not perfect. I found it most helpful when it pointed out flaws. However, helping guide you to change and finding safe people were not the most helpful elements of this book. Regardless, I would still highly recommend this book to a friend. -- Helpful Read
