Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Set Boundaries, Find Peace: A Guide to Reclaiming Yourself
Nedra Glover Tawwab · 2021
🎙 Narrated by Nedra Glover Tawwab (self-narrated)
80/100
👍 Worth It
Tawwab gives you real, usable language for the boundary conversations most of us avoid, backed by actual clinical experience rather than platitudes — genuinely one of the more useful self-help books out there. Worth it, full stop, and hearing her narrate her own scripts in her own voice makes the whole thing land even better.
✦ Penny’s Take — this is The Review Group’s own editorial assessment. Penny’s analytical review line researched this book from real sources and scored it across the lenses shown below. It’s an honest first-party read — not a page-by-page personal one. The gold ✓ Penny Tested mark is reserved for books Penny reads cover to cover herself.
⚠ Parent note — our reviewers flagged: Framework is entirely secular/clinical, no faith integration — worth naming for faith-first audiences even though nothing in it is objectionable. We still scored it 80; these are context for your family, not an automatic skip.
▶ Listen to a sample
🎙 Narration: excellent Tawwab narrates her own book for Penguin Audio, and listeners specifically praised it as 'relaxed and easygoing' — hearing the author explain her own scripts adds real credibility.
