Nine Things You Must Do by Dr. Henry Cloud




Nine Things You Simply Must Do - Dr. Henry Cloud

This was an excellent book on how to make good decisions in life. Dr. Cloud describes his quest to become a deja vu person. He works to surround himself with people that lift him up rather than tear him down. He offers advice about upsetting the right people. You need to accept that people will be mad at you if you are not their doormat. You can not let their bad behavior control yours.

He also offers provocative advice on how to "hate well". This does not mean doing harm to other persons but clearly noting behaviors or actions that are not who you want to be or be associated with. The religious aspect of the book is not overt but is covered in the final section of the book. It is one of the most useful books I've read on making good decisions and actively choosing the life you want to lead. 


Henry Cloud talks how looking forward can help you make decisions in the moment. 16 min.
