Synopsis

The instant New York Times bestseller

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.

Imagine that someone is talking to you about something interesting and helpful, but in a monotone voice with no enthusiasm and with examples so boring they almost seem lazy.

Goodreads review by Jules on August 07, 2021

I follow a bunch of therapists on Instagram because I find their aesthetically pleasing, easily digestible posts really accessible and they come in handy in my work (usually with parents more than young people).

Goodreads review by Taylor on February 22, 2021

I was neither forced nor guilted to review the work.* Aptly titled, this book explores how setting boundaries in......more
