I found it to be an easy read without confusing jargon. Chapters 1-8 are for the person with BPD. Each chapter has things the person with BPD can do right away to start to feel better. They contain helpful information that loved ones will want to make themselves familiar with also. Chapters 9 and 10 are from the loved ones perspective and also provide specific, usable recommendations. I would definitely read this if you have any interest in BPD, it makes an excellent primer.

The book methodically introduces BPD and clearly emphasizes there is hope for all involved. Most importantly, each chapter provides a summary at the end that serves as a quick reference guide.

Paying 800-odd rupees for this book, I expect good paper quality but this is a print on demand setup with the book by an overseas author but printed on pretty cheap paper in Delhi. The content seems promising but I wouldn't pay more than 300 for this quality. I know content is what matters, but when the price is on par with foreign publications, I expect to get a high quality printed book.
