Why It's Your Next Read

  • Actual scripts for tricky conversations tomorrow
  • Boundaries as skill not personality flaw
  • Real client mess-ups show the learning
  • Short chapters = immediate actionable wins

If Work in Progress gave you permission to stop apologizing for being a mess, Nedra Glover Tawwab's Set Boundaries, Find Peace hands you the actual toolkit—no moralizing, just frank scripts and micro-tasks for saying no without imploding your relationships. She's a therapist who writes like a human, balancing wry discipline with real-life case studies that show how messy people actually recalibrate work dynamics, family friction, and midlife singlehood.

She's a therapist who writes like a human...

Boundaries aren't selfishness; they're a learnable craft. Tawwab dismantles self-help myths with short, repeatable practices and language you can deploy tomorrow—not overnight transformation, just modest, behavior-focused change.

You'll walk away with things to say and do tomorrow, not just theory.
