I read a lot of this type of book, but I just really struggled to be engaged with this one. I did not finish. Thank you for the opportunity!

This is a powerful look at the ways we silently learn things at a young age, and how those lessons stay with us into adulthood and affect our relationships. It's a truly eye opening concept that any reader will benefit from. I appreciate that the authors address relationships of every type, not only romantic, including the agreements we make with ourselves. There are clear examples of what silent agreements are and how they manifest in a relationship. Then, there are exercises to walk us through identifying the silent agreements in our lives and how to address them. There are even templates for having a potentially difficult conversation. It's a thorough book that addresses important issues we all face but likely don't recognize.

This book was excellent! It helped me to understand that we all have silent agreements. From reading this book I was able to self reflect and understand the root of some of my ways. This book also offered practical steps on how to work on understand and breaking silent agreements in order to maintain and develop healthier relationships. This is a must read!

I received an ARC in exchange for honest review from NetGalley.

I thought this was an excellent read with a lot of good tips for various relationships. The concept of silent agreements is one that we are all probably aware of but haven't studied or discussed. This book is accessible enough for everyone but would also be a good tool for counsellors and others to put in their library
