Publisher's summary

The instant New York Times best seller

End the struggle, speak up for what you need, and experience the freedom of being truly yourself.

Healthy boundaries. We all know we should have them - in order to achieve work/life balance, cope with toxic people, and enjoy rewarding relationships with partners, friends, and family. But what do "healthy boundaries" really mean - and how can we successfully express our needs, say "no", and be assertive without offending others?

Licensed counselor, sought-after relationship expert, and one of the most influential therapists on Instagram Nedra Glover Tawwab demystifies this complex topic for today's world. In a relatable and inclusive tone, Set Boundaries, Find Peace presents simple-yet-powerful ways to establish healthy boundaries in all aspects of life. Rooted in the latest research and best practices used in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), these techniques help us identify and express our needs clearly and without apology - and unravel a root problem behind codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, burnout, and more.

Critic reviews

"Tawwab debuts with a comprehensive guide on how to understand and establish interpersonal boundaries.... She identifies six types of boundaries - physical, sexual, intellectual, emotional, material, and time - and dispenses tips on how to uphold personal limits.... Listeners who follow Tawwab on social media and those who find setting boundaries especially difficult will appreciate the advice." (Publishers Weekly)

Set Boundaries, Find Peace breaks down the what, why, and how of boundaries in a clear and compassionate way, leaving you confident, empowered, and prepared to tackle those tough conversations.” (Melissa Urban, co-founder and CEO of Whole30)

“This is the boundary bible. Nedra teaches us not only how to set healthy boundaries but to be clear about our feelings and intentions. Finding peace requires showing up - Nedra has written the blueprint on how to not only show up but also do the work.” (Alexandra Elle, author of After the Rain)

Excellent concise self help book

If you’re familiar with a 12 step program, particularly Al-Anon, much of the information will not be brand new to you. However, the way it is presented is fantastic. This is very easy to understand, with actual things you can do, examples of what to say, and a concise summary of every important message and any other self-help book has stated. Highly recommended if you feel anxious, overwhelmed, resentful, or otherwise feel you could be happier and life could be better

Best Book on Boundaries I Have Ever Heard!

This book was an answer to prayer. Dr. Tawwab addresses common boundary issues with simple, concise, easy-to-follow directions. I absolutely loved hearing her voice reading the book on Audible and I decided to buy the Kindle edition as well so I could re-read and highlight key passages. Literally one of the best, most helpful books I have ever read.

Changing my life

Wow! She really helps put these concepts into phrases and words we can start using, guiding us to build healthier relationships based on fair communication practices. I tell everyone struggling with communication and boundary issues about this book because it has seriously empowered me in my relationships and I'm able to really start embodying my authentic self now. Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable haha Having been taught to be a people pleaser, this has given me skillful language to help me say no when something does not sound agreeable to me. So much gratitude for this resource.

Changed my life!

By chapter 5 I could tell this book was absolutely going to change my life, I only wish I this book had been available 7 years ago when my life started to spiral out of my control! Even after my therapist suggested setting boundaries in my life and marriage, I wasn’t able to fully conceptualize what she meant by that until she suggested this book. Now that I’m done listening, I’m going to purchase a paperback of it to keep in my toolbox in hopes that I can start making some real changes and improvements in the quality of my life! I highly recommend every and anyone read/listen to this book, it would be impossible to finish it without gaining something from it. I personally hate self help books but this one really really really spoke to me and ALL my life struggles!
