Let me kick it this way: There are lots of books out there about setting boundaries with others; this one is about setting boundaries with other parts of oneself.
There's more: I've read (and reviewed) Tolle, Kabat-Zinn, Williams, Teasdale, Linehan, Marra, McKay et al, the Blocks, Hayes et al, Follette, Strosahl, Harris, Orsillo, Forsyth, Eifert, Dimeff, Koerner, and the Siegel brothers (among others) in the general rubric of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, including dialectical behavior, and acceptance and commitment.
There really is a lot of great stuff out there nowadays. I'd thought for a time that nothing was as accessible for the 12th grade level reader as Hayes & Smith's =Get Out of Your Mind & Into Your Life= (a truly dandy book). And I'm very high on pretty much anything Tom Marra has cranked out relative to making mindfulness something most people can grasp.
But unless or until I run into something better (and there may well =be= something "better"), I have to assert that this is the heavyweight champion of self-help books of this particular genre at this time. If one who has arrived at acceptance and identification (the third of DiClemente & Prochaska's widely accepted five stages of recovery), this is a real fine way to get right into the next stage: action and commitment.
What UCLA researcher Daniel Siegel knows about promoting myelination, neural trunk lines and processing speed in the limbic (emotion regulation) system; his clinician sibling has converted into very straightforward and precisely detailed, but utterly simple, method. It's clear that he "knows" Yogananda, Krishnamurti, Gurdjieff, Mahesh Yogi, Alpert, Perls and others of two and (many) more generations ago, as well as the 14th Dalai Lama, Tolle, et al.
