But consultant, psychologist, and bestselling 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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.
