Helpful Score: 1
In The "One-Life Solution", Dr. Cloud provides insight, examples, suggestions, and tools on dealing with work place problems. The book also deals with issues on the workplace and one's personal life and the importance of keeping the two seperate.
The information contained in the book offers solutions and understanding of dealing with different scenarios one may face in their work environment. There are "real life" examples of these in the book. Some of these include, standing up to a bullying boss, managing time, focusing, etc.
Cloud also emphasizes the importance of taking responsibility for our own actions and not allowing ourselves to blame others. As he eloquently points out, things that happens in our lives can only be controlled by us. We can not control another's actions and/or responses, however we can control our own.
My opinion: Some of the things in this book, I all ready knew. Other things were new for me. I intend to put into practice the suggestions and exercises that I haven't used in the past.
Since this is the first book of Dr. Cloud's I have read, I really have nothing to compare it to. However, I will use this book as a resource and look into his other "Boundary" writings.
