Publisher's summary

New York Times bestselling author, psychologist, and leadership expert Henry Cloud equips us to understand and manage trust for successful relationships through five foundational aspects.

Trust is the fuel for all of life. We are wired biologically, neurologically, emotionally, spiritually, and psychologically to trust. Trust is the currency that drives every relationship, beginning with the foundational bond between infants and their mothers, extending to the trust networks that undergird every human endeavor—art, science, commerce—and binding together every relationship we have ever had or ever will have. Nothing in our world works without trust.

It is tempting to think that trust is simple, that we should be able to spot a lack of trustworthiness relatively easily. But we all have our stories about misplaced trust. We either missed clear or subtle warning signs or there just were not any warning signs to see. Everything looked good on the surface, and maybe it was. But we got burned anyway.

And sometimes we struggle to earn and keep the trust of those around us when trust bonds fail to form or are broken. When trust breaks down, so does our ability to move forward.

Dr. Cloud explores the five foundational aspects of trust that must be present for any relationship to function successfully and helps us to understand how to implement them. He also guides us through the difficult process of repairing trust when it has been violated and broken, even when restoring trust feels impossible.

Rich with wisdom drawn from decades of experience in clinical practice, business consulting and research, Trust is the ultimate resource for managing this most complex and fundamental of human bonds, allowing us to experience more fruitful and rewarding relationships in every area of our lives.

Better than a marriage counselor.

Read this with my husband to repair our marriage. It was informative, succinct, thought provoking and engaging. I believe this book should be required reading for any marriage.

Extremely important teachings!

My life has been greatly helped by the teachings of this book!
I now understand the basis for developing trust!
I feel safer and more open to relationships!
Thank you Dr. Cloud!

Received more than expected!

The subject applies to ALL areas of life not just catastrophic betrayals. I learned so much! Thank you.

Great content but could have been condensed

This book has very helpful content, but at times has the annoying habit of repeating the same point over and over again. It could have been reduced by about 1/3.

Very Practical and Applicable

Our lives are built around relationships, you should invest in this book because it will help build healthy connections and protect against toxic ones.

Absolutely incredible

This book covers every aspect of trust in such an easy to comprehend fashion. I could not recommend it enough!

A must read

If you have ever battled with trust on any level this is for you. Solid teaching, encouraging & inspiring. I will likely read this once a year.

Good stuff

Really good breakdown of common trust issues and how people operate. Comes to root issues of why there are breakdowns in relationships. Worth at least a one time run through to help mend personal struggles with trust in others (a tough problem in the church = relationships)

Trust based a good track is integral in all relationships

Nothing except I wish I had known these principles a long time ago instead of putting pressure on myself to trust before it was earned.
