Description

Don't pressure yourself any longer, express your needs, and feel the freedom to truly be yourself! In theory, we all know that we should set healthy boundaries to achieve balance between work and our personal lives, to deal with toxic people, and to build proper relationships with partners, family, and friends.

But what exactly does "healthy boundaries" mean? And how can we say "no" and express our needs without hurting others? Therapist and interpersonal relationships expert Nedra Glover Tawwab helps us find answers to this issue.

With understanding and sympathy, she offers simple yet effective ways to establish healthy boundaries in every area of our lives. The techniques she suggests, based on the latest research and the most proven practices of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), help us define and express our needs clearly and without guilt, as well as identify the deeper issues hiding behind codependency, power struggles, anxiety, depression, and much more.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you avoid communication with people who might ask something from you? Do you have no time for yourself at all? Do you often dream of abandoning everything and disappearing? If you are experiencing any of these – or all of them together – then you urgently need boundaries in the relationships you have with those around you!

This book will help you discover and set them, so you can create better relationships and live a more complete, authentic, and joyful life!

This book is for you if...

  • Do you find it hard to say “no” or set personal boundaries
  • Do you feel drained by relationships that bring you down
  • Do you want to teach boundaries to your children through your own example
  • Do you want better relationships with parents, partner, friends, colleagues
  • Are you a parent, educator, or professional who is constantly caring for others

What will this book offer you?

It will give you clear structure, language, and confidence to express your needs and manage your relationships with balance. Without appearing “harsh” or “selfish,” you will learn how to protect yourself – and to give only from your surplus, not from the last drop you have left.

Inside the book you will find:

  • 6 types of boundaries and how to apply them in every relationship
  • How to recognize relationships that violate your boundaries
  • Techniques for clear, consistent, and polite communication
  • Examples of dialogues and everyday situations
  • Tools to understand when you say “yes” but mean “no” – and how to change it

The opinion of the experts

“One of the most useful books for adult life. Honest, practical, and absolutely comforting.”
– Psychology Today
“Nedra Tawwab gives voice to what we all feel: boundaries don’t push us apart – they bring us closer, truly.”
– New York Times

"People don't change because you beg them. They change when they realize that you have changed."
"If you don't set your own boundaries, someone else will set them for you. And you won't like them."

    Very bad book that confirms once again that the books that have become best sellers in America are simply products of good advertising and American culture. 1. Many pointless and probably false stories by the author.
    2. It draws conclusions from her Instagram posts, as she herself mentions, which is completely unscientific!!
    3. Her writing style is aimed at people who have not read more than 5 books in their lives.
    4. No citation of scientific research/sources.
    5. It mentions solutions that may not be suitable for everyone and someone unfamiliar with psychology may worsen a situation they are trying to solve.
    6. The book may only appeal to someone unfamiliar with such topics who has their first encounter and has never read anything related before, but still with great reservation.
    For me, it was a waste of time, as much as I managed to read it, and a waste of money

    I have started it and I am about halfway through. If you struggle to say "no" to others, if you feel guilty when setting a limit, if you have never learned to communicate your needs in order not to upset others and keep everyone satisfied, just read this book!!!!!!! It is simple and understandable, it explains many aspects of the subject, with the purpose of understanding what exactly is happening with you and those around you regarding boundaries and respect for them. I highly recommend it. Even if you don't have an issue with setting your boundaries, I suggest you read it to better understand this important topic and to respect/understand someone who struggles or cannot set their boundaries, in order to help in the process... I will come back when I finish it.
