9 Things You Simply Must Do

by Henry Cloud

Cloud's observations of successful people: dig it up (recover buried talents), pull the tooth (end what must end), play the movie (consequences forward), do something (act), act like an ant (small steps), hate well, don't play fair (give more than you get), be humble, upset the right people. It is practical wisdom in a plain voice.

CLICK TO SEE

Read it if…

you want a short, principle-based book on how successful people actually operate.

Skip it if…

you want research; it is observation.

Three things you will actually use

  1. End what is dying; prolonging is cruelty to yourself.
  2. Play the movie before deciding.
  3. Upset the right people; fear of displeasing is paralysis.

Do this first

Pull one tooth: end something you have been putting off ending.

Our verdict

Plain and practical.
