review 1: If your life is in metamorphosis, you feel overwhelm because you cant control things around you, this book is for you. Embrace endings as a natural situation, don't fight back. This book came to my life at a crucial moment. I had just ended an extremely unproductive family relationship and wanted to know if I was doing things right. I took time to absorb the lessons of this book soon to find out that I was forced to change jobs. As I got deeper into the pages of this book I discover a meaning to the chaos around me. Excellent book!
review 2: While there was a lot of helpful, practical information in this book, it has some fundamental flaws. Cloud speaks to the necessity of gathering some fortitude and dropping the ax on certain toxic initiatives and people in o
... moreur lives in order to move forward to healthier beginnings. In many ways, this is very true. However, the methods he employs here are not altogether healthy.Cloud's approach to endings, especially as it concerns other people, are more retributive than restorative. While I sympathize with the need to cut the head off of certain programs and initiatives that stray from an organization's mission, I cannot sympathize with his view of human beings in the same way. To be sure, there are people in our lives whose behavior is hurtful. However, the pink slip is not a cure all, as Cloud universally suggests in this book. Now I know that employee development is not cheap or efficient, but it is respectful, and it allows the person to decide for him- or herself whether or not he or she is "with the program". It can also be done in such a way that it does not enable bad behaviors of such employees. Cloud does appear to support the reader undergoing personal development, but is not willing to extend this to employees who may not be cutting the mustard. Furthermore, where is a chapter in this book, not about endings, but about making the right beginning, the right hire?While Cloud rightly instructs us to get tough and think more habitually about endings, this reader wants to balance that with a healthy dose of respect toward my fellow human being. less

Good premise, but the tone is extremely corporate. Values product and efficiency over people. Meh.

Good inspiration in a hard time. Nothing I didn't already know, but a great kick in the bum.
