Because of this book I am able to have a healthy, mature and growing love relationship for the first time in my life. It helped me to realize that in order to have a successful relationship with someone else I must first TRULY love myself. In fact, I must know that I am capable of self love to the point where I don't need anyone else. Then and only then could I have a partner yet remain true to myself.

This book changed my life. It is simple and repetitive on purpose. The concepts may be simple to understand but they go against our conditioning and therefore have to be heard over and over again just as society has us repeat things over and over until we become obedient members of society. Every agreement has multiple lessons that help us to break down the parts of our conditioning that no longer serve us as adults and keep us from being free thinkers. Daily practice of these agreements will help to peel away layer upon layer of human suffering caused by our conditioning (upbringing) and allows us to love ourselves and to realize that we don't need anyone else or anything else to do this.
