This week I have been listening to the book on CD "It's Not My Fault", by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend, in my studio during work. Wow, this book has a ton of great information in it, so much so, I have now purchased the book knowing that I need to go back and look at some things more closely. I have never been a big fan of self-help books. I am not above them by any means, I just prefer a good novel. But after a personality assessment that I had the privilege of participating in, several months ago, I was shown some specific areas in my behaviors that definitely need improvement. The assessment also came with an hour of counseling on how to interpret the results and some things that I can do going forward. I have to say that the hour with Greg Wiens and Ken Love has to be some of the most productive time I have spent in a long time. Since that meeting, a day has not gone by where I am not thinking about that assessment and my next steps for improvement. This book is just one in a long list of books that I want to read in order to be the best that God has made me to be. Here is a quote from the book, "That which you desire will require more of you than you are today." Now that's the kind of stuff that I can grab onto.
Cloud and Townsend are great.
