About this ebook

“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. For anyone getting unstuck, Cloud challenges readers to achieve the personal and professional growth they both desire and deserve—and gives crucial insight on the art of decision making and how to make those tough decisions that are standing in the way of a more successful business and, ultimately, a better life.

How do you finally end what isn’t working to make room for what will?

  • Pruning for Growth: Learn why, like a rosebush, your personal and professional life requires cutting away good, sick, and even dead branches to achieve its full potential.
  • Discerning What to Fix: Distinguish between a situation that has real hope and one that is a hopeless drain on your resources, and know when it’s time to move on.
  • Overcoming Resistance: Identify the internal and external barriers that keep you from acting, and develop the urgency needed to make bold, timely changes.
  • Ending Things Well: Master the difficult conversations required to bring relationships, projects, and business initiatives to a close with clarity and compassion.
