by Nedra Glover Tawwab
Tawwab, a licensed therapist, argues that most interpersonal exhaustion comes not from difficult people but from unclear or unenforced boundaries. She offers a CBT-informed framework for identifying six boundary domains, naming one's limits clearly, and tolerating the guilt that arises when old patterns of over-functioning are interrupted.
The books Nedra Glover Tawwab references, cites, and recommends most frequently.

Van der Kolk reveals how trauma reshapes the brain and body, storing itself in physical sensations. Recovery requires approaches that engage the body, not just talk therapy.
by Brene Brown
Brown's research shows that vulnerability is not weakness but the foundation of courageous leadership. Leaders who embrace discomfort build more trusting, innovative teams.
by Daniel Goleman
Goleman argues that EQ matters more than IQ for success. Self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation are skills that can be developed and that predict real-world outcomes.

Voss, a former FBI hostage negotiator, argues that negotiation is fundamentally about emotional intelligence, not logic. Tactical empathy, calibrated questions, and labeling emotions are more powerful than rational arguments.
