Disclaimer: I received an advance copy of this book as part of the launch team, but I was not required to write a positive review. My thoughts are my own.

This is a practical guide to boundaries - what they are, how to set them, and how to navigate them. Nedra Tawwab takes you through boundaries in every way: different types of boundaries, boundary violations, communicating and upholding boundaries, places in life you need boundaries, and much more. Each chapter has stories that illustrate the topic, as well as an exercise to put the principles into practice. She also asks several sets of questions throughout the book to make you reflect on the topic at hand, and provides lists that serve as relevant examples of the point being made. (If you've ever seen her Instagram, you'd be familiar with her lists.)

This is a good, modern take on boundaries (there's even a chapter on technology/social media), that will be very helpful to folks navigating the process of setting good boundaries, especially if you haven't thought about this before. Her perspective is that a lot of relationship issues that people have are actually boundary issues, and that is evident by the breadth of relationships covered by this book.
