Publisher's Summary
Accountability is an obligation or willingness to accept responsibility for and to repair the harm caused by one’s actions. It features prominently in our relationships, personal lives, and professional lives. Everything from stealing money from work to lying to a friend to making a mistake at school that caused someone else to get in trouble to pressuring your spouse into having sex when they aren’t interested to murdering a stranger on the street - each require accountability, albeit dramatically different kinds. At its heart, accountability is understanding that your actions do not always have the impact that you intend; it is ownership of your actions, working to repair problematic issues, and learning how to prevent patterns from forming or continuing in the future.
Sometimes this is as simple as getting to know yourself and apologizing. Sometimes it’s a years-long process to recognize the motivations and behaviors that you see inside yourself and feel like you have no control over. How to Be Accountable will walk you through your own head to understand your own patterns and behaviors, untangle them, and live the kind of life you want.

More than I expected
I found this book to be more than I exected. Because of the way it is written, I can use it as a good reference to keep me on track when I encounter a specific problem. As my mind spins-off into a story about what I feel is happening, I can stop short of an emotional reaction by reviewing the appropriate chapter and advice.
Its difficult to change old ways of thought and reaction, but with this book and some patience, it can be done.

Worth listening to again and practical AF.
I appreciate the work that went into the book. My favourite part was the second half, but there was good stuff throughout. Definitely going to re-read, because it's hard to put this stuff to practice.
