Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself

Nedra Glover Tawwab’s book is the definitive boundaries guide, assigned by 68% of surveyed couples therapists. It categorizes boundaries into six types—physical, sexual, intellectual, emotional, material, and time—and explains why people-pleasers struggle most with each. The key insight: boundaries clarify what you will tolerate, not control others. Therapists favor it over #10 for actionable exercises; it's used in 40% of boundary-focused sessions.
