After my mother’s sudden and unexpected illness, my siblings and I found ourselves in uncharted waters with a boatload of assumptions about how we could best manage her care. Without having clear boundaries to guide us, we often struggled with unrealistic expectations of one another, which resulted in uneven responsibilities and a lot of hard feelings. While I wish I had her books back then, today I am immensely grateful for Nedra Glover Tawwab’s down-to-earth advice on setting healthy boundaries in every area of our lives. Whether with family, friends, or colleagues, Tawwab shows us how to express our needs in daily life and during life’s more challenging times with care and compassion—and without apology.

I have recommended the first book, Set Boundaries, Find Peace to clients before. That’s great that she was inspired to write another book.
Yes, and I think you’ll enjoy the very practical workbook as well, Kimberly!
