Necessary Endings

The Employees, Businesses, and Relationships That All of Us Have to Give Up in Order to Move Forward

“If you’re hesitant to pull the trigger when things obviously aren't working out, Henry Cloud’s Necessary Endings may be the most important book you read all year.” —Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling author of The Total Money Makeover

“Cloud is a wise, experienced, and compassionate guide through [life’s] turbulent passages.” —Bob Buford, bestelling author of Halftime and Finishing Well; founder of the Leadership Network

Henry Cloud, the bestselling author of Integrity and The One-Life Solution, offers this mindset-altering method for proactively correcting the bad and the broken in our businesses and our lives. Cloud challenges readers to achieve the personal and professional growth they both desire and deserve—and gives crucial insight on how to make those tough decisions that are standing in the way of a more successful business and, ultimately, a better life.

Ending is a good beginning

I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in growing or becoming unstuck in an area of life. I gave it 5 stars because I’ve found it worth listening to at least twice. Some of the things I needed to end were attitudes towards myself and I gained a better understanding of some of my behaviors.

Just needed.

Everyone in life is going to have to take the step to make necessary endings and this book normalizes it. It gives you the permission we never needed but act as if we did.

It’s just a must read annually to be reminded to let it go. Biblically sound.

refreshing solid perspective on critical issue

Loved having Dr Cloud read the text. Much to think about and good criteria for making needed changes in life. I recognize now more clearly the role that endings must play in all our lives.

Not necessary...Essential!

I found this book to be well written and easy listening, until I found myself in mental and emotional surgery. This book is an essential read for effective necessary endings!

This book is not just for business.

Henry does an amazing job of relating the principle of necessary endings to every aspect of life. We go through endings regularly in every area of life. If you have a negative view of endings read this book. No matter what your view of endings even if you have no specific view of endings this book will teach you how to end well. Good endings make room for new beginnings.
