Integrity

The Courage to Meet the Demands of Reali

By: Henry Cloud

Narrated by: Henry Cloud

Integrity -- more than simple honesty, it's the key to success. A person with integrity has the ability to pull everything together, to make it all happen no matter how challenging the circumstances. Drawing on experiences from his work, 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, and 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. The real factor, Cloud demonstrates, is the makeup of the person. All of us can grow in the kinds of real character that brings 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.

Very educational

If you are someone looking to expand your mind, it's good read! Good use of my time.

Much needed book to help ME GROW into INTEGRITY.

Absolutely loved the book. Great investment in myself and those who are connected to me.

An unexpected understanding

Not what I thought it would be. However, it gave me a very different way to look at integrity and how it is developed as a character trait. Very well done. I will see what other titles Dr. Cloud has available.

Challenging

While reading this book I was challenged as a leader to reflect on my abilities as a leader and where my “integrity” is at any given. I was pleased to read and understand that all of us have areas for improvement especially when it comes to integrity.

An Audiobook That Everyone Should Hear

I only downloaded this book a couple of days ago and I'm already on my second listen. Harry Cloud speaks very well and seems to truly know his subject matter. Although nothing is truly ground-breaking or life-altering about this book it is a great reminder about why we should strive to improve our character and our integrity. He says we should do it not just for its own sake but because it will help us in every aspect of our lives, from our careers to our relationships.

While I was listening, I found myself applying what he said to myself and also the people that I know. It helped me more fully understand what it takes to become "integrated" and more respected and liked by others.
