New Releases by Henry Cloud

Having clear boundaries is essential to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. A boundary is a personal property line that marks those things for which we are responsible. In other words, boundaries define who we are and who we are not. Boundaries impact all areas of our lives: Physical boundaries help us determine who may touch us and under what circumstances -- Mental boundaries give us the freedom to have our own thoughts and opinions -- Emotional boundaries help us to deal with our own emotions and disengage from the harmful, manipulative emotions of others -- Spiritual boundaries help us to distinguish God''s will from our own and give us renewed awe for our Creator -- Often, Christians focus so much on being loving and unselfish that they forget their own limits and limitations. When confronted with their lack of boundaries, they ask: - Can I set limits and still be a loving person? - What are legitimate boundaries? - What if someone is upset or hurt by my boundaries? - How do I answer someone who wants my time, love, energy, or money? - Aren''t boundaries selfish? - Why do I feel guilty or afraid when I consider setting boundaries? Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend offer biblically-based answers to these and other tough questions, showing us how to set healthy boundaries with our parents, spouses, children, friends, co-workers, and even ourselves.

Many years of counseling have enabled Dr. Henry Cloud to observe people trying to work out the most important issues of life: relationships, career, fulfillment, meaning, pain, hurt, loss, despair, and addictions. If we sincerely want to "get life right" and quit repeating the same mistakes over and over again, 9 Things You Simply Must Do provides the practical guidance we need to live life to its fullest . . . every moment.

Why do some leaders get and accomplish what they want as a matter of routine, while others seem to regularly experience frustration and setbacks? Why do some leaders achieve their goals and reach new heights, while others barely "hang in there" and survive? Based on his groundbreaking psychological study of the ways that successful individuals think and behave, Dr. Henry Cloud presents a simple yet profound roadmap to help leaders-and those who want to become leaders-arrive at greater levels of personal growth and corporate influence than they previously thought were possible. The good news for all of us is that leadership success is not limited to vague notions of "charisma" nor traditional advantages like graduate degrees and connections, but much more to a pattern of thinking and moving forward that learns from mistakes and stays focused on goals.

Integrity. It is more than simple honesty. It''s the key to success. A person with integrity has the -- often rare -- ability to pull everything together, to make it all happen no matter how challenging the circumstances. Drawing on experiences from his work with Fortune 500 companies, nonprofits, and individual leaders, Dr. Henry Cloud, a clinical psychologist and nationally syndicated radio host, shows how our character can keep us from achieving all we want to (or could) be. In Integrity, Dr. Cloud explores the six qualities of character that define integrity. He uses stories from well-known business leaders like Michael Dell and sports figures like Tiger Woods to illustrate each of these qualities. He shows us how people with integrity: Are able to connect with others and build trust Are oriented toward reality Finish well Embrace the negative Are oriented toward increase Have an understanding of the transcendent Success is not related to only talent or brains. There are a lot of bright, talented people who are never successful. And the most successful are not only the ones with the most talent. The real factor, Cloud demonstrates, is the makeup of the person. All of us can grow in the kinds of real character that bring about fruitful relationships and achievement of purpose, mission, and goals. Integrity is not something that you either have or don''t, but instead is an exciting growth path that all of us can engage in and enjoy.

Cloud and Townsend debunk some Christian myths, or assumptions, that prevent true healing and spiritual growth. The 12 Assumptions that they deal with include: "It''s selfish to have my needs met," "If I''m spiritual enough, I will have no pain or sinfulness," "If I change my behavior, I will grow spiritually and emotionally," "I just need to give it to the Lord," "One day, I''ll be fimished with recovery," "Leave the past behind," "If I have God, I don''t need people," "''Shoulds'' are good," "Guilt and shame are good for me," "If I make right choices, I will grow spiritually," "Just doing the right thing is more important than why I do it," and "If I know the truth, I will grow" --provided by publisher.

In this groundbreaking work, the author zeroes in on four basic developmental decisions that all of us must negotiate in order to deal with our inner pain and distress and to enable us to function and grow emotionally and spiritually -- and make sense of our world.

Đặt ra những ranh giới rõ ràng là điều kiện thiết yếu để có được một cuộc sống lành mạnh và cân bằng. Một ranh giới là giới hạn cá nhân, phân định rõ những gì thuộc phạm vi trách nhiệm của chúng ta. Nói cách khác, những ranh giới xác định chúng ta là hay không là ai, và chúng tác động đến mọi mặt trong đời sống của chúng ta. +Ranh giới về thân thể giúp chúng ta xác định những ai có thể tiếp xúc với chúng ta và trong hoàn cảnh nào. +Ranh giới về tư tưởng cho phép chúng ta tự do trong suy nghĩ và đưa ra quan điểm độc lập. +Ranh giới về cảm xúc giúp chúng ta điều chỉnh được những cảm xúc của chính mình và tránh được những cảm xúc lôi kéo,c ó hại từ những người khác.
