Integrity isn’t the latest book that Cloud has written ( The Power of the Other holds that distinction), so this was a chance for me to go back into the foundations of Cloud’s thinking and writing and look at more basic components of how we get along with one another. His more recent book, The Power of the Other, helps us to understand how others impact us – often without our knowledge. ![]() His books Safe People (also co-written with Townsend) and Changes that Heal, Cloud connects the kinds of people we need to be in relationships to the need for boundaries. Boundaries, which he co-wrote with John Townsend, is a cornerstone of my recommendations for people struggling to find ways to go through life.

Though most people would immediately think of moral, ethical, or right, there is a deeper meaning to integrity. ![]()
