Revolutionary Agreements (2nd edition)
Revolutionary Agreements is a delightful, practical guide to living a positive life. The book reveals principles tens of thousands have used worldwide to strengthen marriage and parenting, become more effective and happier at work, enhance community relations, and affect positive change in the world.
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, Barbara Marx Hubbard, 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 affect this revolution are simple, practical and profound, and they 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 readers 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."
