Stan's Reviews > Necessary Endings: The Employees, Businesses, and Relationships That All of Us Have to Give Up in Order to Move Forward

Wow! This is an amazing and extremely important book. It isn't an easy read, because you probably won't progress very far before thinking about aspects of your life that may require a necessary ending. And, that is a huge part of why this is an important book.

The author applies his ideas to personal relationships and business decisions and even lifestyle choices. Many examples are given from his decades of counseling and executive coaching. You are likely to find some of your own life experiences in the examples.

This book will help you identify aspects of your life that need to be changed, things that need necessary endings. You will read sage advice on how to determine what can be salvaged and what cannot. Where personal relationships or business relationships are concerned, you will read wise communication strategies. The distinction between wide people, foolish people, and evil people is clear and priceless-the advice on communicating with each type is vital.

Where the book really shines is Cloud's writing about why we resist making these necessary endings and how to find the motivation and courage to follow through.

This is a great book that presents life skills that everyone needs to master. Hands down - the book is pretty indispensable. Get a copy. Don't just read it, master it! Enjoy!
