1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. this is a great book to read and discuss with othersBy LizAs with most of us, my life is frenetic. I have loads to do and never enough time to do it. Yet, every time I read a chapter in the Revolutionary Agreements, I lighten up. I can feel myself relax and smile. The chapters are short, but impactful. Following the suggestions at the end of each chapter was life changing for me. If you're in a book club, this is a great book to read and discuss with others. It's also great for friends and family members to share with one another. (It could make Thanksgiving dinner and other family gatherings much more fun.)This book is such a gift for yourself and others in your life. If you want to be happier, see and live life more fully, this is the book for you.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. This book lives up to its titleBy Stacey SternThis book offers twelve agreements anyone can adopt to live a happier, more peaceful life. They work! Falling into the categories of Truth, Acceptance, and Gratitude, the agreements were developed by Marian Head and others thirty years ago, and they continue to be applied in workplaces and homes worldwide. I appreciated the honest, funny, real-life examples and personal success stories from the author and many others who practice the agreements. It's easy to read and well-structured, with a chapter dedicated to each agreement plus inspiring quotes, anecdotes, practical exercises, a terrific forward by Barbara Marx Hubbard, thoughtful content, and gentle encouragement throughout. The world would be a better place if everyone read this book.
