The most common excuse. The most dangerous trap. "It's not my fault!" It seems like just a common, no-harm-done excuse. It can even seem like the truth. But according to Drs. Henry Cloud and John Townsend, it’s really a dangerous, self-destructive trap that keeps you from the life you want to live. Yet there is a way to turn the trap into a launching pad—and it’s simpler than you think. Using eight principles, powerful true stories and their years of experience as professional psychologists, this best-selling author duo of Boundaries and other popular books will teach you the one skill you need to make empowering choices and start getting what you want out of your relationships, your career, your life. Even if you’ve gotten a raw deal from other people, your DNA or life’s circumstances, there is always something you can do to make things better. With the transformational insights in this audio book, Cloud and Townsend will help you get your focus off what you cannot control and break free from the blame game that sabotages success... so that you really can start living the life you choose.

"This book will take the legs out from under any excuse that you are using to keep you from being the person you were designed to be. However, it's much more than a kick in the pants, the author actually shows you what you need to do to correct your bad behaviors and your crutches."

" I don't care for the example of the homosexuals, as IMO they have issues beyond those discussed in the book. Get past that small issue, and you can learn a lot. The only people who will bash this book? Those that won't admit; it is their responsibility to control their own life. "
— Mark, 10/28/2016" This book will not only teach you to take control of your life, but has some solid "success principles" as well. I will read this book many times. "
