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)

Great Reed!

Within the first chapter I felt as if the author was speaking directly to me. Boundaries are something we all must set, and we must do this on a daily basis! I enjoyed this book, and I found it to be extremely helpful.

Best guide on boundaries!

Clear, concise and thorough. This guide gave relatable examples, adaptable steps, and proper language for immediate implementation in my own life. Most importantly, this book provided a deeper understanding-without shaming- of what boundaries actually are and why they are critical in one’s life. I felt enlightened and am now practicing these guiding principles every day! Thank you!!!

setting boundaries are necessary

setting boundaries is a necessary component to a long, peaceful, and joyful life if you want to live a prosperous life. There are so much things and techniques given by the author to utilize, especially if one is interested in getting their life in order. I even life the fact that the author wasn't afraid to mention other books that were recommended to her be her therapist. this self development book supports the idea that mental health is important to living a joyful and adventurous life.

You won’t regret this download

My therapist recommended this book to me: without a doubt this is one of my top three books that have impacted my life as of now. Tawwab effortlessly outlines what boundaries are and why we need them. This book made me uncomfortable at times which for me meant there was work to be done. My favorite part of this book was her addressing how we must set and uphold the boundaries we make with ourselves.

I’ve purchased this book in print for my best friend. This is one of those great books I’ll offer to friends, family, mentees, and strangers because it was truly a realistic self-help book. This provides actual ways to improve your relationships today, not some cerebral approach to a better life.

I could keep going on about this book but, seriously, just download it.

Therapeutic

Great listen for the person struggling with boundaries! I feel like I just received months of therapy! I love the idea of reframing my thoughts and am already putting new boundaries in place.
