Boundaries By Henry Cloud & John Townsend
Is your life out of control?
Do people take advantage of you?
Do you have trouble saying no?
Are you disappointed with God because of unanswered prayers?
Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. This book will help you answer the questions:
Can I set limits and still be a loving person?
What are legitimate boundaries?
What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries?
How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money?
Aren't boundaries selfish?
Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries?

Leadership & Marketing
Tribes by Seth Godin discusses the fusion of leadership, creating movements, and marketing based on word of mouth.
Business Mind Setting Ryan Blair
Blair shows readers how to start and grow their own profitable businesses by following his often contrarian philosophies:
- In juvenile detention, if you let someone take your milk the first day, they'll start taking it every day. The same is true in business.
- When you're dealing with an investor's money, you have to act as if God himself wrote you the check.
- Most business plans aren't worth the paper they're written on.
- Efforts don't pay the rent. Have no sympathy for employees who talk about how hard they're trying.
- Entrepreneurship is great because you can set your own hours -- any 17 hours of the day, 7 days a week. But if you're doing what you love, it doesn't drain you as much as the 9 to 5 death cycle.
