Resumen del Editor

Accountability is an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for and to repair the harm caused by one’s actions. It features prominently in our relationships, personal lives, and professional lives. Everything from stealing money from work to lying to a friend to making a mistake at school that caused someone else to get in trouble to pressuring your spouse into having sex when they aren’t interested to murdering a stranger on the street - each require accountability, albeit dramatically different kinds. At its heart, accountability is understanding that your actions do not always have the impact that you intend; it is ownership of your actions, working to repair problematic issues, and learning how to prevent patterns from forming or continuing in the future.

Sometimes this is as simple as getting to know yourself and apologizing. Sometimes it’s a years-long process to recognize the motivations and behaviors that you see inside yourself and feel like you have no control over. How to Be Accountable will walk you through your own head to understand your own patterns and behaviors, untangle them, and live the kind of life you want.

I am grateful for this book

This book was enjoyable and enlightening; I feel like I learned a lot about what accountability -is- and how to work to maintain a higher degree of responsibility towards myself and others. The whole book is very well written and does a great job of going into specifics and details without drowning the reader in technical jargon.

To be honest, I do have one gripe, and it's the occasional political talk, but I can shrug it off as "not my sh*t" thanks to Dr. Faith!~

Evidence based skills

The book offers easy to apply skills and helps you have self awareness. There’s more swearing than necessary. An occasional simple curse word from a story being retold is one thing but the author uses severe language to teach the principles. This may not bother most but for those who choose to avoid swearing where they can, this is not one of those books.

very informative

book was very informative a really good listen provides many tactics to hello improve on building self

Huh?

I listened to the first book where the authors read the book. This was toor boring. I wanted the vet age and the author speaking. I couldn’t follow due to the loss of these two things..,, oh well ...very sad. I wanted a rerun of the first.

helpful advice for all. A must read for everybody

I love this writer and most of her books. She didn't hear about her or read about her I Found her books I In amazon audible Books are Brutal talk therapy book brutally honest And explants themes in the manor of le mans terms instead of Collegebook turns .

An honest vehicle for change

The Author provides a clear path towards actionable strategies to return to oneself’s integrity. Often written in a funny fashion, the author’s vulnerability- sharing their point of view and experience - makes this a powerful read.

Some good info but more political than necessary

This is my fifth book of Dr. Harper’s and although she has some great psychological information, she adds a lot of her political views which I feel removed this book from its title.

basically informative but biased

If you're fairly educated on topics of psychology, sociology, and perception... there are specific portions of this book that I find completely in stark contrast to the reality we all live in.

keep politics out of mental health books

challenge yourself

I love this book and brought a lot of insight to myself progression and allowed me to learn a lot about myself

Very amazing I loved it

This book has taught me a lot ,I will be reading it again and again you can never listen to this book too many times it showed me how to really take accountability for my actions and to blame no one and how to speak up for what I want and what I need and not to be scared and to be vocal and it’s OK and to care about what other people think of me everything she talked about just hit some key points in my life and I just wanna say thank you for sharing your experiences and teaching me this book can’t teach a lot ,people could learn from this book
