Safe People: How to Find Relationships that are Good for You and Avoid Those That Aren't by Henry Cloud

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. Read more

From the Publisher A Note from the Authors We designed this book to help you look both outside and inside yourself. You will look outside yourself as you learn to stand back and critically evaluate the people in whom you are investing yourself. As you use the scriptural principles in this book, you will find that your eyes will become opened to the true nature of others, both good and bad. Safe People will also help you look inside yourself. You will find your blind spots and vulnerabilities and understand why you are easy prey to manipulative people, or susceptible to controlling individuals. You’ll gain important awareness of your weaknesses and learn how to mature past them. Also, you’ll look inside and see the ways you yourself may be unsafe for others. God wants to help you expose those parts and mature in those areas. As you read this guide to safe people, we pray that you will sense the impassioned concern of God for you in this area. —Dr. Henry Cloud & Dr. John Townsend Part One: Unsafe People Learn who unsafe people are and the 20 identifying traits of unsafe people.
