Summary
People with borderline personality disorder (BPD) can be intensely caring, warm, smart, and funny, but their behavior often drives away those closest to them. If you're struggling in a tumultuous relationship with someone with BPD, this is the book for you. Dr. Shari Manning helps you understand why your spouse, family member, or friend has such out-of-control emotions and how to change the way you can respond. Learn to use simple yet powerful strategies that can defuse crises, establish better boundaries, and radically transform your relationship. Empathic, hopeful, and science based, this is the first book for family and friends grounded in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the most effective treatment for BPD.

First class life saver
If your loved one had bpd or eupd or even an eating disorder you probably feel pretty helpless, even desperate.
This book helped me hugely. I recommend reading it.
Having it on audible is double the value of the paper copy because you can hear the tone of voice required, not just the words.
This will help you save your loved ones life. Literally.

New understanding of what BPD is and it's effects.
Listening to this book has given me a new perspective on where I failed my close friend with BPD. I wish I had listened to this when I first met her and hope I'm able to use the knowledge to be a better friend to her and everyone in my life. I feel like before I was stumbling around in the dark and would only accidentally be the friend she deserved, this book flicked the light on.

Brilliant book.
This book truly breaks with the stigma of BPD. it shows the people with this disorder in a compassionate caring way and provides people who are close to such a person with understanding and tools to cope and help their loved one. I would really recommend this book to anyone even people who never come across a person with BPD. And this is mainly because this book is very professional and at the same time is about compassion, understanding and helping people with BPD rather then a warning to run away... finally, on top of brilliant content the narration is very, very good too!

It’s okay
This book is perfect for anyone who is only just starting to learn about BPD - it has very basic information and is easy to understand. The narrator is a bit hard to listen but definitely not the worse I’ve listened to.

Not the best book for BPD
While some aspects are helpful, like the importance of explaining invalidation and validating the person with BPD, I found this book too much of a guide of how to tip toe and over coddle people with BPD. I am close to someone with BDP and if I followed the advice in this book it would cause resentment. I found other books and their approaches, namely The BDP survival guide by Dr Chapman much better and would recommend them instead.
