How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? Why do I feel guilty when I consider setting boundaries?

In Boundaries for Leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud gives leaders the tools and techniques they need to achieve the performance they desire - in their organizations and in themselves. Drawing on the latest findings from neuroscience, Dr. Cloud shows why it's critical for leaders to set the conditions that make people's brains perform at their highest levels. How do great leaders do this? One way is through the creation of "boundaries" - structures that determine what will exist and what will not.

After a five-year research project, Jim Collins concludes that good to great can and does happen. In this audiobook, he uncovers the underlying variables that enable any type of organisation to make the leap from good to great while other organisations remain only good. Rigorously supported by evidence, his findings are surprising - at times even shocking - to the modern mind. Good to Great achieves a rare distinction: a management book full of vital ideas that reads as well as a fast-paced novel.

A fresh, challenging and compassionate response to busyness, based on the way of life Jesus offered his disciples. Who are you becoming? That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. By outward metrics, everything appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren't pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: 'Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.' It wasn't the response he expected, but it continues to be the answer he needs.

A clear and compelling discussion of how the church can better reach, support and champion black congregation members. From the UK church’s complicity in the transatlantic slave trade to the whitewashing of Christianity throughout history, the church has a lot to answer for when it comes to race relations. Christianity has been dubbed the white man’s religion, yet the Bible speaks of an impartial God and shows us a diverse body of believers. It’s time for the church to start talking about race.

In this audiobook, Richo offers a fresh perspective on love and relationships - one that focuses not on finding an ideal mate, but on becoming a more loving and realistic person. Drawing on the Buddhist concept of mindfulness, How to Be an Adult in Relationships explores five hallmarks of mindful loving and how they play a key role in our relationships throughout life.

INSPIRING
- By Anonymous User on 18-02-21
Summary
End Pain.
Foster Personal and Professional Growth.
Live Better.
While endings are a natural part of business and life, we often experience them with a sense of hesitation, sadness, resignation, or regret. But consultant, psychologist, and best-selling author Dr. Henry Cloud sees endings differently. He argues that our personal and professional lives can only improve to the degree that we can see endings as a necessary and strategic step to something better. If we cannot see endings in a positive light and execute them well, he asserts, the "better" will never come, either in business growth or our personal lives.
In this insightful and deeply empathetic book, Dr. Cloud demonstrates that, when executed well, "necessary endings" allow us to proactively correct the bad and the broken in our lives in order to make room for the professional and personal growth we seek. However, when endings are avoided or handled poorly - as is too often the case - good opportunities may be lost, and misery repeated.
Drawing on years of experience as an executive coach and a psychologist, Dr. Cloud offers a mixture of advice and case studies to help listeners:
- Know when to have realistic hope and when to execute a necessary ending in a business or with an individual
- Identify which employees, projects, activities, and relationships are worth nurturing and which are not
- Overcome people's resistance to change and create change that works
- Create urgency and an action plan for what's important
- Stop wasting resources needed for the things that really matter
Knowing when and how to let go when something, or someone, isn't working - a personal relationship, a job, or a business venture - is essential for happiness and success. Necessary Endings gives listeners the tools they need to say good-bye and move on.

Incredible wisdom, doable advice, relatable, fantastic!
I think this book is a life saver and changer. I couldn’t stop listening and have watched it get light again. There is a reason I listen to so many self improvement and business audio book, escapism from a dull and frustrating existence, earphones and positive learning breaks the negative conversations in my head which keeps me going, the desire to break free and be better and happier achieve more, but stumbling on this title instantly grabbed my attention as I found myself stuck again moaning about the same things I’ve nagged about for the last 17 years. This one book is EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you so much Henry, You’re a star! xx

A Great Audio Book For Letting Go Of The Past.
It was an interesting audio book which focuses on 'moving on' in life and business. However the focus is mostly on the context of business life more than personal life itself. I like the way the author wrote this book in such a way that it can be heard by anyone, even though the author is a Christian. I recommend other audio books by the same author. The wisdom that comes from his writings are amazing.

Better editing required
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Necessary Endings?
The basic premise of the book is good and correct, however the metaphors used by the author to illustrate his points are carried on long after their usefulness has expired. This is basically true in every chapter, but is most apparent in the first few chapters where the analogy of pruning a rose bush is examined from every conceivable angle. In addition there is a paucity of real psychological data to support some of the recommendations in the book, and only the mental constructs of the author, which I personally found unconvincing, to explain why it is difficult to for many of us to achieve necessary endings. A related and IMO far more useful book is

Great for any large or minor life changes.
I kept finding myself relate to this book almost too much. It made me realize a lot about myself and how I have never dealt with endings, either with jobs, relationships, or personal choices. The way he describes things makes it easy to understand and apply to your own life. I've recommended this book to several of my friends and every one has come back thanking me for introducing them to it. Also, I would recommend "Integrity" as well by the same author.

Would you listen to Necessary Endings again? Why?
Yes, there are time tested truths here.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I love that the AUTHOR is reading the book.
What insight do you think you’ll apply from Necessary Endings?
That life is full of life cycles/seasons.
Any additional comments?
I listened to this when I struggled with work issues after having a baby. I was overcome with guilt about not keeping up with everything as before. This book helped me to let go and see the the "necessary endings" as well as the bright beginnings laying before me. This book can be applied to everyone.

The Most Compelling & Engaging Yet!
Dr. Henry Cloud goes into the psychology of why we often put off ending things that are holding us back or even hurting us in some way.
This book is very thorough in it’s approach. It covers how to narrow down if something should be encouraged to try again or stopped. It also explains the hurt we feel about that change, the many reasons behind it and how to address those blocks in our path to a better life.
If you’re even suspicious that you might be putting some things off that need to be done, read this book. Not only will it give you encouragement and methods on how to make that ending possible and less painful, but it also supplies many examples of how well things go when the ‘dead weight’ has been removed.

Pull the band-aid off fast!
Would you consider the audio edition of Necessary Endings to be better than the print version?
2nd book I read by the author and the 1st one "Boundaries" was life changing. Big question I got was for a problem area of your life was "Is there any reason to expect your tomorrow to be any different than today?" If not, you need to make some changes. Bad Jobs, acquaintances, etc need to be run through the filter.
I quit my job about 10 days after listening to the book but was teetering on quitting beforehand. I may try to hand out copies to business prospects b/c it is really powerful.
