A tender, powerful, and achievable path to the everyday resiliency we all need to navigate the uncertainty in our lives. An inspiring new voice in resiliency, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe believes that our modern conception of resiliency as “fighting” or being “tougher” is misguided. Learning happens when we are able to trust and feel safe; fear and shame are barriers, not facilitators, for authentic growth, acceptance, and change. Dr. Robyne maps out a kinder approach to taking on the challenges of life and developing authentic self-alignment and balance.

Publisher's Summary
End Pain.
Foster Personal and Professional Growth.
Live Better.
While endings are a natural part of business and life, we often experience them with a sense of hesitation, sadness, resignation, or regret. But consultant, psychologist, and best-selling 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.
In 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.
Drawing on years of experience as an executive coach and a psychologist, Dr. Cloud offers a mixture of advice and case studies to help listeners:
- Know when to have realistic hope and when to execute a necessary ending in a business or with an individual
- Identify which employees, projects, activities, and relationships are worth nurturing and which are not
- Overcome people's resistance to change and create change that works
- Create urgency and an action plan for what's important
- Stop wasting resources needed for the things that really matter
Knowing when and how to let go when something, or someone, isn't working - a personal relationship, a job, or a business venture - is essential for happiness and success. Necessary Endings gives listeners the tools they need to say good-bye and move on.

Amazingly encouraging.
I have listened to this twice and I come back to it to look for “daily answers” and encouragement.
If feel stuck or weak in a dark season of life this book will provide guidance to the strength and light while providing an amazing way to create, cherish and embrace “changes”.

A Fresh Perspective
I really enjoyed this read as it helped sell the idea of endings in a positive light and encourages the reader to take bold action for their own good. Aside from that, there was a helpful section on when more chances can yield a strong likelihood of good results. The read was well delivered by the author and made the book more enjoyable!
