The Book of Agreement
"We all want agreement. Here's how to get it and keep it and work it."
-Mark Victor Hansen, Co-creator, Chicken Soup for the Soul
----
"The systems in the Book of Agreement will help you create the kind of agreements that will generate more financial and emotional wealth in your life."
-Robert Allen, author of four New York Times bestseller
----
"Add this book to your shelf of most important references--like your dictionary and your "Windows for Idiots" guide--and consult it often. Your life, relationships, and career will improve immeasurably. Stuart Levine's first book "Getting to Resolution" is the best I've read on resolving conflict.
"Levine identifies the difference between agreements for protecting your interests and agreements for results. The first is what you hire lawyers to do in writing contracts. He shows you how to make agreements for results and protect your interests.
"More than half the book is devoted to templates for agreements for results in organizations, associations, communities, families, cultures, marriages, and more. You'll also want to read his section on training your lawyer how to make agreements for results.
-Christopher Avery, Ph.D. and author of Teamwork is An Individual Skill
----
"Step back, take a deep breath, and smile because Stewart Levine's The Book of Agreement will give you the tools to get what you want without causing conflict. Not only does he provide insights into new ways to think about relationships, but he also provides templates that you can use to create them.
"After reading Stewart's book you will be able to: 1. Negotiate with the people already in your life; 2. Set limits, boundaries and expectations with those people you meet or hire; 3. Bring to the fore hidden concerns that could undermine your relationships and contracts. I immediately applied it to my relationship with our housekeeper to create a cleaning schedule without stress. I used it to clarify trading relationships in my business.
-HildyRichelson
----
"We all know of stories where businesses, families and communities went down the drain because the involved parties were locked into years of conflict.
In this book, Stewart Levine provides an insightful framework and applications for resolutions that can be put to practice immediately; sort of a 15-Minute Gourmet Resolutions recipe book."
A must read for anyone trying to get the most out of relationships.
-J. Silber
