Self-Help & Personal Development review
Boundaries for Emotional Health review
A $17.99 boundaries ebook, credited to a doctor with an invented PhD in self-awareness.
Pass
This is the second of the seller's two boundaries titles, and the difference between them is presentation rather than substance, so buying both means paying twice. The guilt angle is the useful one, since guilt is what makes most people fold, and naming that is worth something. What is not worth $17.99 is a guide with no exercises shown, no clinician credited and an invented PhD in Self-Awareness claimed for twenty-two years. Where boundary problems come from a controlling or abusive relationship, a support service or therapist is the right address, and the listing offers only a generic disclaimer.

Boundaries without the guilt
Why they matter, where they are needed, how to communicate, maintain and reinforce them.
Guilt is what makes most people fold, so naming it is the useful part.
When it is not a communication problem
Controlling or abusive relationships are not solved by better phrasing.
Support services and therapists handle that, and the ebook offers only a disclaimer.
The co-author's degree does not exist
The listing credits Dr. Betty Donald with a PhD in Self-Awareness and 22 years of experience. No university awards a doctorate in that, and it is the pattern across all 84 titles from this seller: each book gets its own doctor with a PhD in exactly that book's subject.
Three of those names appear twice with different doctorates and different decades of experience, so the credentials are generated rather than held.
The rest of the numbers are decoration
Claims 316700+ readers, although the seller has no website, no catalogue page and no way to check. The $47 regular price sits next to $17.99 on every title in the catalogue and is never charged.
The reviews carry first names and US or European cities, which cannot be verified either.
