Summary
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。

I was fortunate enough to read an advanced copy of the book。 This book follows the model that Nedra uses on her social media platforms when talking about key points when it comes to boundaries， but with added examples and guiding questions for reflection and insight （which I absolutely LOVED）。 The book touches on various areas in our lives where boundaries are applicable and makes it easy to digest and understand as well as apply after reading through each chapter。This really is a great way to b I was fortunate enough to read an advanced copy of the book。 This book follows the model that Nedra uses on her social media platforms when talking about key points when it comes to boundaries， but with added examples and guiding questions for reflection and insight （which I absolutely LOVED）。 The book touches on various areas in our lives where boundaries are applicable and makes it easy to digest and understand as well as apply after reading through each chapter。This really is a great way to begin looking at different ways that boundaries （or lack thereof） can affect our life。 Highly recommend！ 。。。more

Disclaimer: I received an advance copy of this book， but was not required to write a favorable review。 My thoughts are my own。 Boundaries are a critical component of healthy relationships with family members， friends， parents， and even oneself。 This book provides a helpful overview of how to set healthy boundaries across many areas of life。 I found the sections on work and social media most helpful。 I think anyone could benefit from this book and Nedra’s work。

Nedra is a trusted and respected colleague that I have been following on Instagram for several years。 My favorite thing about her is her honest and to the point writing style。 Without a lot of fluff or confusing language， Nedra teaches you exactly how to implement boundaries。 She’s straight forward， honest， and relatable。 Highly recommend this book。

As a male， I think oftentimes subject areas involving self-care can be considered taboo。 Boundaries is an area I don't have much knowledge in so reading through the chapters was extremely eye-opening。 The book is an extremely easy read and can be easily finished in a few sittings。 Nedra throughout the book offers tips and guidance on how to strengthen your boundaries but also to handle certain situations that can occur from boundary violations。 Each chapter also offers reflection questions that As a male， I think oftentimes subject areas involving self-care can be considered taboo。 Boundaries is an area I don't have much knowledge in so reading through the chapters was extremely eye-opening。 The book is an extremely easy read and can be easily finished in a few sittings。 Nedra throughout the book offers tips and guidance on how to strengthen your boundaries but also to handle certain situations that can occur from boundary violations。 Each chapter also offers reflection questions that allow you to dig deeper into the area discussed。 I found myself become much more aware of myself and how boundaries affect my life。 If you're interested in learning more about boundaries， how they impact your life， and how effectively managing（or mismanaging） your boundaries can change your life this is a great read。 。。。more

I had a chance to read this book as a part of the launch team， I voluntary decided to write my opinion on it。 I've been waiting to read the book and finally make an acquaintance with the concept of boundaries since I got to know about it from Nedra's Instagram page。 The most important thing I took from the book is that I have to be consistent and repeatedly set the boundary， on other words you have to stick to it。 It's not me who have poor ability to explain， it's them who are trying to talk me I had a chance to read this book as a part of the launch team， I voluntary decided to write my opinion on it。 I've been waiting to read the book and finally make an acquaintance with the concept of boundaries since I got to know about it from Nedra's Instagram page。 The most important thing I took from the book is that I have to be consistent and repeatedly set the boundary， on other words you have to stick to it。 It's not me who have poor ability to explain， it's them who are trying to talk me out of the boundary。 I've never heard someone speaking about this issue and normalising this type of a struggle with insecurities。 The other meaningful aspect described in this book is being able to set boundaries with yourself: this concept is brand new for me and I realised how drastically important it might be for our wellbeing and mental health。 Now setting boundaries with myself is a part of self-respect attutide to my needs and self-care practices。 Most of all， I appreciated specific recommendations on how to set boundaries in different areas of our life: you can be sure that this book is not just a bunch of theories about boundaries， but a set of concrete tools， you just need to have enough courage to use them， and Nedra helps here: you may also feel the warmth and caring support in the tone of the author， which helped me to start to believe that I'm able to set boundaries and I already have some like other people around me。 She also convinced me that I have a right to set boundaries in spite of feeling guilty and scared during the process sometimes。 This book have provided some answers on my specific questions， such as "how to deal with technologies"， "how to finish relationship with an old friend"， "is it normal if I don't feel like being friends anymore"。 Thank you for your work and inspiration， Nedra！ It was such an honour to be the part of the community and discussion。 。。。more

Set Boundaries， Find Peace is a great resource that clearly defines what a boundary is， how to set them and how to navigate boundaries when they are violated by yourself or others。 I really appreciated the stories/journal prompts/questions that are included in each chapter。 They were engaging and made me reflect a lot about my past and current relationships。 As someone who grew up without boundaries and has been exploring boundaries for the past year， I can’t recommend this read enough。 I highly Set Boundaries， Find Peace is a great resource that clearly defines what a boundary is， how to set them and how to navigate boundaries when they are violated by yourself or others。 I really appreciated the stories/journal prompts/questions that are included in each chapter。 They were engaging and made me reflect a lot about my past and current relationships。 As someone who grew up without boundaries and has been exploring boundaries for the past year， I can’t recommend this read enough。 I highly recommend this book to everyone out there who is interested in living a more peaceful life。 。。。more
