Revolutionary Agreements is a delightful, practical guide to living a positive life. The book reveals principles tens of thousands have used worldwide to create greater inner peace and fulfillment--whether dealing with the common challenges of marriage and parenthood, effectively managing high-performance work teams, or contributing to improved community and international relations. In this second edition, the author includes stories from readers who share how their relationships--and lives--were transformed by practicing the Revolutionary Agreements. Also new is a twenty-page section of customized agreements developed by organizations to express and align their team members' values. Additionally, the woman described by Buckminster Fuller as the "best informed human now alive regarding futurism" offers a thought-provoking foreword. The book opens with an invitation by the author to join her in a revolution to create a positive world by living a positive life. The twelve agreements she offers as tools to effect this revolution are simple, practical and profound, and are organized within three unifying principles: Truth (to be who I am); Acceptance (to accept others for who they are); and Gratitude (to appreciate the gift of this moment). Easy-to-read chapters show how to apply the Agreements in any situation to reduce unwanted drama and increase inner peace. Each chapter puts its Agreement into larger perspective with "Words of Wisdom," selections of quotations ranging from ancient wisdom to modern insights, followed by a "Focus on Today" section of practical exercises designed to help the reader apply that Agreement immediately. In the Foreword, Barbara Marx Hubbard writes: "Within the pages of this book are a rare combination of wisdom and practical guidance. For those who desire greater peace in their own lives and in the world, Revolutionary Agreements will be one of your most treasured guidebooks. This book will benefit you whether you are a leader on the front lines of cocreating a better world or you are someone focused on having the best day you can given the complexities of your life." Former US Congressman Dennis J. Kucinich, 2003 recipient of the Gandhi Peace Award, writes, "Revolutionary Agreements is a thought-provoking and inspiring set of techniques to facilitate true peace in personal relationships . . . a great book." Dr. TC North, executive coach and coauthor, Fearless Leaders, writes, "Revolutionary Agreements is an invaluable sourcebook for honest, fulfilling relationships in the workplace and beyond. An extraordinary guide for building high-performance cultures." Reverend Judith Elia writes, "I have used the Agreements with CEOs, church committees, teachers, social workers, students, and government workers to build community and improve self-esteem. Revolutionary Agreements is a new manifesto for the coming of the Age of Peace, Love, and Compassion." Given the thousands who've experienced Revolutionary Agreements since the first edition was published in 2005, the author writes in this second edition, "The power of practicing these conscious agreements is undeniable. By embodying these Agreements, we can create greater peace in our own lives and thus personally experience greater Peace on Earth now.
