Many of us have heard the old adage, "It is not how you begin, but how you end that matters most." While this may be true, most of us are horrible at "ending well." Or maybe that is just me. Is anyone else with me? How many times have we left a job or a career by burning bridges and scorching the fields? How many of us have been in relationships that have ended in bitterness and recriminations... or worse, by simply "ghosting" the other person making them always wonder what happened? How many of us have moved to a new house, started a new career, or begun a new relationship and have seen it suffer through our comparisons with a nostalgic reminiscence of the old home/job/relationship? Is it just me? Is there anyone with me?
This book first points out the importance of ending well, and then it goes into practical guidelines of how to do exactly that. The book is biblically sound but you do not need to be a Christian to gain incredible insights from it. No matter what you believe (or don't believe), this book is made for you. No matter where you might be in the various phases of life/career/relationship there is much that you can pull from this book that will enrich your life right here, right now.
But don't take my advice on that. Make an ending of reading these reviews and a beginning of reading the book for yourself.
An intriguing read centering on the idea that you need to finish things to prevent them dragging into other areas of your life. We NEED to be finished and have some clear divisions in our lives. Obvious, yes? But is it obvious that some things just need to be over, and decided as such?
It's actually quite hard to describe what I like about this book - I just suspect it's something us endless non-finishers will recognise we need to read when we read it.
I'm not sure there's a lot of hard technique in here - but an attitude shift is likely.
