You are responsible for your work - not for everyone else's emotions.

I feel guilty saying no. I absorb everyone's stress. One angry email ruins my day. I feel responsible for fixing everything. If any of these sound like you, this book was written for you.

Most people think boundaries mean being rude, saying no to everything, or becoming selfish. Emotional Boundaries at Work teaches something different: healthy boundaries let you care about your work without carrying every problem home.

Boundaries sit at the root of more workplace struggles than people realize - burnout, people-pleasing, overthinking, emotional exhaustion, resentment, and always saying yes are often the same underlying issue wearing different names. Instead of treating them separately, this book teaches the one skill that addresses all of them.

Grounded in real psychology - including assertiveness research, workload and burnout studies, and research on emotional contagion - and explained in plain, human language, this book walks you through:

  • The real cost of having no boundaries, and why good, conscientious people burn out fastest
  • The psychology behind people-pleasing, fear of rejection, and conflict avoidance
  • Concrete scripts for saying no, stopping unnecessary apologies, and protecting your time, energy, and attention
  • How to handle demanding coworkers, difficult managers, negativity, and gossip - professionally
  • How to extend boundaries beyond the workday into your evenings, weekends, and family time
