Peace Doesn’t Mean You Have to Be Nice About It: Clear boundaries, calm decisions—no performance required.

You’ve been told peace is polite. That it smiles, softens, and keeps the room comfortable.

This book offers a different truth: real peace can be firm, quiet, and unapologetically clear.

Through concise, high-signal pages, J.D. Veyne shows how to stop performing “niceness,” protect your energy without guilt, and choose calm that doesn’t collapse into compliance. Not hard—honest. Not loud—grounded. Peace that includes you.

What you’ll get

• Short, no-fluff chapters you can revisit anytime.
• Practical language for saying less—and meaning more.
• Scripts and lines to hold boundaries without over-explaining.
• A steady reminder: you don’t owe anyone your softness.

Who it’s for



Readers who are tired of people-pleasing, emotional over-functioning, and “being the bigger person” at their own expense—and want clean, calm boundaries.
