Set Boundaries, Find Peace

"A great guide to setting and enforcing boundaries. This will probably become an annual read."

"A very good beginners guide to setting boundaries. If you struggle with this, I think this book is a good place to start. I did it in a book club with other women. We did a lot of sharing and connecting, which was a nice way to read it, but I think someone who read it on their own would find some good advice in there as well. "

"It felt like fate that this was the last book of my reading goal this year. Nedra didn't have the best narration, but her assertiveness and confidence shown through her voice. I immediately paused the book to set my first boundary. I was so proud of myself, and I'm not sure I could have acted with such confidence without listening to this first. Nedra had a no-nonsense attitude and gave me the courage to be the same. I grew up in a home with no boundaries. I was astonished to learn that you could say no to someone and not give a reason. That you didn't have to go through life feeling uncomfortable as you please others. That unhealthy relationship forms when no boundaries are set. I finally had my feelings validated and the tools to start my journey to a healthy lifestyle and peace of mind. Nedra even went into detail with how to deal with the aftermath of setting boundaries. It felt like she was talking straight to me. Even though I was sick with nerves about setting boundaries, I was also excited to start a new chapter. Nedra made me feel like I could do this, and it was okay to do so. She constantly repeated things to drill into my head that boundaries are healthy , and setting them is caring for yourself and others. Over and over again, but it helped. There is no doubt in her voice. This is the way things should be, and you can do it. I wish I had read this earlier in life because it took me a long time to figure out a lot of this information. Even so, I set a boundary with my mother. I reinstated it when I needed to, when she tried to make me feel guilty. And now I have control over my life again. I still make mistakes, and I talk to myself, so next time, I am prepared. I will set a boundary earlier if I see a foreseeable problem, and I will not be so harsh on myself if I didn't set a boundary when I should have. I will not set others' feelings above my own comfort. I want to be mentally healthy and happy for the rest of my life. Thanks, Nedra. "

"this is a book to keep with you for years to come! it helped me realize different dynamics where I should have boundaries and how to be sound in those boundaries. there’s also homework after each chapter to apply what you’ve read, and it’s very helpful."

"Excellent book! We'll laid out and a ton of real world examples!"

"I follow Needra on IG and when I saw she had a book, I immediately purchased it. Anyone who is a people-pleaser or grew up thinking that if you say no to someone you’re mean- please read this! The way it’s organized is great and the fact she gives specific statements and examples of how to establish boundaries in different types of relationships in our lives is so helpful. "
