Stop Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care About Has Borderline Personality Disorder

This is a great book!!! Highly recommend read for everyone!

Great educational book for anyone looking how to address living or dealing with individuals with personality disorders came highly recommended

This book was an absolute godsend. It put names to the behaviors, and hurts, I experienced from my loved ones. Because of it, I felt like I was not alone in the emotional abuse I experienced, and that I too could overcome and get out of a toxic relationship. I recommend the audio book too, as read by the author. The author actually adds additional insights that are not on the written page. Keep in mind though, that there is a quiz in the book that is harder to do from the audio version. - I recommend you listen and read it together at the same time. Depending on when, and if, you read this, there might be a few cultural references that may be out of date; but the behavioral analysis, and psychological insights are timeless.

I can see how this would be a pretty helpful book. It is full of specific examples and seems to be humanely conceived and presented. However, I only read about a third or a half of it, because I discerned at a certain point that it was only so relevant to persons in my life.

Easy to read and understand. Clearly written.

Excellent book for anyone who has a loved one, family member or a friend with this disorder!!!!

Stop Walking on Eggshells offers exceptional insight into the complex dynamics of narcissism and mental health. Intensely researched and thoughtfully written, it opens a window into the victim-narcissist relationship. This book not only deepens understanding of human behavior, but also provides empowering tools to reclaim personal peace. It helped me immensely. Stories are real and heartfelt.

After living with someone with severe BPD for 50 years and never understanding the dynamics my doctor recommended this book. It didn't save the marriage but I'm now more understanding of the horrible effect it had on me. I am learning how to regain myself and realize it's not all my fault. I would recommend this book for all but especially younger people who are dealing with a loved one with this disorder. It gives a lot of information and help in understanding what you are dealing with and how to navigate the situation and save your relationship.

Explica algunas cosas que mas o menos coinciden y explican las cosas que hacia la persona por la que compre este libro (como la mayoria que ha comprado este libro, por alguien). Me hubiese gustado que se profundizara en ciertos temas pero entiendo que para un libro que intenta explicar algo tan complejo, es difícil. Aun asi recomiendo su lectura

beautiful book

Dealing with borderline personality disorder in a loved one is extremely challenging, and this book offers clear, practical guidance rooted in real clinical understanding. As someone who grew up with a parent with BPD, I found the explanations and strategies in this book both validating and genuinely useful. It helped me make sense of years of confusion and gave me tools I could actually apply. One thing worth emphasizing: Stop Walking on Eggshells is not a substitute for a professional diagnosis. If someone suspects BPD in themselves or a loved one, a proper clinical evaluation is essential. The book does a great job highlighting why self-diagnosis—especially from media portrayals—is unreliable and can create more harm than clarity. This resource helped me tremendously alongside therapy, and I believe it can offer the same clarity and support to many others trying to navigate these difficult dynamics.

Great book, so informative, helpful and supportive. Thoroughly recommend this to those this is written for. It is not only the content but the way in way it is written that makes it so spot on.

Please READ THIS. We all have dealt with emotionally unstable people. They tend to blame you for their emotional state, and you're left in a state of perpetual confusion about yourself. This gets worse if it's a loved one - a sibling, an ex or a current girlfriend, or a parental figure - you spend a considerable amount of time tiptoeing around them, being hyper-vigilant about you making sure you don't trigger them, which could result in them blowing up. This is called Borderline personality disorder. We all have met and experienced this with at least one person in our lives. The book describes their unstable personality and what causes them. The first half of the book gives you a lot of aha moments, and the second half can just be glanced over. If you've had an emotionally abusive gf or a sibling or a parent who erodes your emotional well-being, this could be a life saver for you. BPD abuse is real and we desperately need more awareness about it, especially in India where we are taught to venerate elders or revere your gf just because of their age or gender. This very belief creates a breeding ground for BPD and Narcissism. This book will help you to save yourself - although you'll be able to look at them with compassion from a distance.
