It's the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris.

Hello everybody, I have,

and I'm sure you have heard the word boundaries a million times, to me at least, it always

sounded like something people yammer on about on daytime talk shows.

No disrespect to daytime talk shows, I love going on those shows those shows but anyway I had no idea what the word

actually meant or whether it was a serious concept at all my guest today has broken the idea of

boundaries down into three levels and six types.

Nedra To-Wab is a social worker and the New York Times best-selling author of Set Boundaries

Find Peace, which she followed up with a workbook on Boundaries.

And in this interview, she's going to talk us through how we can summon the courage to set and

maintain Boundaries, even when it's hard, and how to respect other people's

boundaries even when they are not clear about what they might be. It's fascinating

stuff I found it very useful just to say before we dive in here that today's episode

kicks off two weeks of a series that we call deep cuts it's where we dip into our

vast archive to provide you some much-needed sanity during the holiday season.

Please enjoy.

I want to let you know about a big series.

We're going to kick off in the new year. We call it the non-negotiables. We're going to be talking to an

incredible array of fascinating people about the practices and principles they cannot live without.

We're going to be talking, for example, to Brian Stevenson,

the founder of the Equal Justice Initiative about how he persevers in the face of long

odds.
