A wonderful resource of information!
It is rare for me to read a book that in seemingly every page
is an "a-ha" realization...the proverbial "lightbulb effect". I would guess that those who have been trying to cope with or
understand the bizarre behaviors of their borderline loved one will have a similar reaction in reading this book. I commend the authors for their diligent research into BPD and their accurate assessment of this serious disorder.
In my previous relationship, I was sure that everything would

eventually be OK as long as I loved her enough and continued to be patient with her. I knew she was suffering
inside but I didn't know why. Since then, with the help of this
book and others, I have learned a great deal about this debilitating condition. I am grateful to the authors for this understanding of BPD for with understanding comes
added COMPASSION and love for this troubled person.
In my case, I finally began to realize that nobody can "make"
another person happy if that person is not happy inside, and does not begin to take responsibility for their own abnormal thinking and actions. Hopefully,
by the invaluable knowledge presented in this book and by
working together as a loving team, you will have a happier outcome than I.....I hope so.
In closing, I would like to offer what I believe could possibly be the
only real hope for borderlines for it deals directly at the
core of BPD- their dysfunctional thinking (thoughts).
I believe that borderlines can change the way they think and
thereby reduce or eliminate their destructive behaviors. I would encourage you to at least investigate this profound
possibility by reading, "You Can Be Happy No Matter What," and, "The Wisdom Within", and further study the life-changing principles and concepts of "Health Realization" on the web.
I wish you the best!

Thankyou!
This book is an absolute life-saver when dealing with the BP in your life, and how you interact with them. I never realised how completely enraged my BP got me because it was all piling up into problems elsewhere, until doing some of the exercises in here. Now I know where my buttons are, and when my BP is trying to hit them, and different ways that I can deal with this without making the situation worse in the long run. This book is a must for anyone living with a BP, whatever the age.

How to Reclaim Sanity in Your Life
A tremendous resouce for anyone involved with borderline or other disorders. I can't say enough about this book. It will change your life in ways you never thought possible. I was able to regain my dignity, self esteem and take steps to put me in control of a situation I thought hopeless. Both books, Stop Walking on Eggshells and the Workbook are at the top of the list of the books we recommend at MSN Psychopath forum. There should be a 10-star rating for this one!!
