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.

What the critics say

"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)

Should be part of school curriculum

This book exceeded my expectations. The wide range of useful topics are all addressed in a easy to digest format. Emotional neglects, attachement styles, boundaries…

the best

It was a beginner to learning boundaries and this was the best book to clearly explain well to me best ways to create them. boundaries are never meant to make other people comfortable, they are for you to create peace in your relationship.

Absolutely Life Changing!

I loved this book and keep going back to it. This book literally changed my life. I am now using it to help others along with the workbook that goes with this book. I am an abuse counsellor and even my colleagues are now using it to work with their clients. I have never been more amazed by how a book changes lives.

This book transformed my life

This book honestly saved me thousands of dollars in therapy bills. Turns out, majority of my issues stem from a lack of boundaries. Nedra’s practical advice, relevant examples, and journal exercises provided me with so much clarity in the boundaries I need to set in my life. I particularly enjoyed the parts about setting boundaries with friends, family and social media. I wish I had this book when I was in my early 20s! I’m so happy I found it nonetheless. Definitely recommend!

Everything I needed

wow, I have said "know your boundaries" for years but didn't know what that meant. this book was so concise and clear. I learned boundaries in one shift at work, went home and started applying them. the freedom that this book has brought me is incredible...will read it many more times. highly recommend!!

Life changing

Incredible book. I have been on a journey of healing myself and breaking generational cycles. Understanding the importance of personal boundaries is something I was never taught. I have shared this book with my two young adult daughters. This author is so inspiring to me.
