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.

This is a light read on the topic, offering practical examples on phrases to express verbally our boundaries. I had the impression the topic was over simplified. The author mentions a lot of “results” from polls she conducted in her Instagram account with her followers and that took away some of the credibility of the facts presented.??
An interesting book. It's lengthier than what I'd like, but it's full of juice.
Sometimes the author provides too much of an “example lists” and it feels like a collection of Instagram posts (and it actually is). Then there's some logical and well thought content/idea.
The books contains way more thoughts than what the title is about. All interconnected and going around boundaries, but still - it would've been better to be split into two/three smaller books.
Either way, I think it's worth reading, especially if you're struggling with boundaries.
What I disliked is the around-twenty-times “in my 14 years of practicing therapy” along with the instant context switching. Both, I believe, are because of the content being stitched from numerous smaller chunks.
