About this title

Synopsis

You already know you need better boundaries. You have known for a while.

You know you say yes when you want to say no. You know you take on too much, tolerate behavior that drains you, and often put everyone else's needs ahead of your own. The problem is not that you do not understand what a boundary is. The problem is what happens the moment you try to set one.

The guilt.

The fear of disappointing people.

The anxiety that someone will be upset with you.

The worry that saying no makes you selfish, difficult, cold, or unkind.

For many people, boundaries do not fail because they lack information. They fail because they lack the confidence, language, and emotional tools to enforce them consistently. This book helps you build all three.

Inside you will discover:

• Why boundaries feel so difficult to set - and the psychology behind people-pleasing, guilt, and conflict avoidance

• How to identify the hidden patterns that leave you exhausted, overwhelmed, and resentful

• The difference between healthy boundaries, emotional walls, and avoidance behaviors

• Practical strategies for saying no without feeling cruel, selfish, or defensive

• Simple communication techniques that help you express your needs clearly and confidently

• Scripts and examples for the most common boundary conversations in relationships, friendships, family dynamics, and the workplace

• How to deal with pushback, manipulation, guilt-tripping, anger, and other reactions when people resist your limits

• Ways to stop overexplaining yourself and learn that "no" can be a complete sentence

• How to protect your energy without isolating yourself from others

• Building the self-respect and self-worth that make boundaries feel natural rather than terrifying

• Creating healthier, more balanced relationships based on mutual respect instead of obligation

Whether you struggle with people-pleasing, emotional exhaustion, toxic relationships, or simply feel overwhelmed by the demands of others, this book offers a practical roadmap for reclaiming your time, energy, and peace of mind.

You do not have to earn rest.

You do not have to justify every decision.

You do not have to sacrifice your well-being to keep everyone else comfortable.

You are allowed to protect your peace.

You are allowed to honor your needs.

You are allowed to say no without guilt.

This book gives you the tools, confidence, and step-by-step guidance to start doing exactly that-starting today.

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabr�ck, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
