Too many of us have invested ourselves into relationships where things have gone wrong. You may have experienced being judged, manipulated, controlled, or worse. The impact of being with an unsafe person can be damaging to your confidence, your trust in others, and even your health. What's more, we either repeat the same mistakes of judgment over and over or else simply give up on trying to have great, authentic relationships again. We get busy instead.

Why do we choose the wrong people to get involved with? Is it possible to change? And if so, where does one begin? Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend offer solid guidance for making safe choices in relationships, from family to friendship, romance, and work. They help identify the healthy and growing people we all need in our lives, as well as ones we need to learn to avoid.

Safe People will help you to recognize twenty traits of relationally untrustworthy people and discover what makes some people relationally safe, as well as how to avoid unhealthy entanglements. You'll learn about things within yourself that jeopardize your relational security, and you'll find out how to develop a balanced approach to relationships.
