SET BOUNDARIES, FIND PEACE: A GUIDE TO RECLAIMING YOURSELF

What an incredible book. Must read for everyone

Really helpful. Such a detailed explanation with proper examples. I think this book must be compulsory in any class between 10-12 in every board in india. So that students can get a better understanding, perspective and personality and can become a better version.

Brilliant… must read for everyone from 10+ to 80+

I as a person used to think I'm no good with boundaries for myself...I read this book...this was the first book which officially got me introduced to boundaries...what is okay and what is not...one thing I learned from this book is... boundaries let you collaborate with people in a healthy way..without losing yourself...and the other people will know what you are uncomfortable with only if you specify the things you are uncomfortable with...and that's called a boundary..and a boundary let's you respect yourself which is essential to let us respect others. So I would say...it helped me a lot..and I'm trying to implement what I learned in that book in my life right now, for me I think it is helpful.

I gifted this book to my 13 year old daughter to know what's boundaries and how to say no to anyone.

This book is all you need if you too lack boundaries in any sphere of your life n well it’s not just a book it just makes you aware where you’re lacking if you too feel overwhelmed regarding healthy boundaries

First few chapters are okay and after that the feel content to be pretty repetitive.

This book can be a life changer if you haven't been applying boundaries in your life. It has greatly helped me in applying boundaries at work and in my relationships. It is written in a clear way, which is easy to understand. It is not all academic, but rather provides practical ways in which you can go about applying boundaries in your life. Right down to the wording you can use when people push back and challenge your boundaries. One of the most useful and impactful self help books I've ever read. 5 stars all the way. Highly recommended.

The author lays out the points in straightforward terms, and leaves very little wiggle room. There are concrete sentences and examples that are extremely, EXTREMELY helpful. It really should have been that simple all along. Reading this made me realise just how much more peace and freedom I could have had my whole life. It also gives practical guides for how to actually set the boundaries. I think we commonly take in words from other people's mouths just so readily, not realising that words not just only mean something, but DO things to our soul as well. But so very often people who struggle with boundaries treat utterances as "equal" and respond to them without verifying if we need to respond in the first place. It's not just about saying No or total rejection. It's about all the follow-ups and enacting the intention behind the "no" as well. In other words, this book is very nuanced, and not some simplistic BS about "rejecting toxic people" "just say no", etc. Tawwab goes through why it matters and how to really make it a principle. A transformative read that should be taught in high school!

Set Boundaries, Find Peace by Nedra Glover Tawwab is a life-changing guide to reclaiming control of your time, energy, and emotional well-being. As someone who has often struggled with people-pleasing and the guilt that comes with setting boundaries, this book felt like a gentle yet firm reminder that protecting my peace is not selfish—it's necessary. Tawwab's approach is refreshingly practical. She breaks down complex concepts about boundaries—be they emotional, physical, or digital—into clear, actionable steps. I appreciated her real-life examples and how they showed that boundaries can be applied in every relationship, from family to work to friendships. Her emphasis on self-awareness was especially eye-opening for me; it helped me identify where I’ve been overextending myself and why. One of the most powerful takeaways was learning that "no" is a complete sentence. This simple yet profound idea encouraged me to communicate my needs without overexplaining, which has been liberating. The sections on handling pushback and staying consistent with boundaries were also incredibly helpful, as they provided me with strategies to handle discomfort and guilt. If you’re looking for a book that blends psychology, personal growth, and practical advice, this is it. Tawwab’s compassionate yet straightforward tone makes this a must-read for anyone feeling drained by the expectations of others. It’s a reminder that peace begins with us—and that boundaries are an essential tool in building a life of freedom and balance.

Learn what boundaries are, and how to use them to live a better life filled with healthier relationships. I used it in conjunction with Melodie Beatty’s, “Co-Dependent No More”, along with both respective workbooks. They helped me a great deal in learning why my relationships always failed, why I always seemed to wind up with the “wrong” guy and why I always found myself miserable. I learned why I would rather be abused and taken advantage of than face the terror of being alone. After setting boundaries in my life, and sticking to them, the amount of Drama in my life dropped significantly. I became stronger as a person. It helped me to develop my own identity, instead of being whatever others wanted me to be. It assisted me in becoming more independent and confident in both everyday and romantic relationships. I finally felt brave enough to try new things and get out of my “comfort zone”. I cannot recommend this book enough to anyone who feels like a doormat or living in a repeating cycle of unhealthy relationships. This book helped me to break those patterns and become a better me.

Great benefit from this book
