How to Be Accountable

Take Responsibility to Change Your Behavior, Boundaries & Relationships

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.

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.
