Life Changing. I have read this book twice, and I adopted it for my Humanities seminar when I taught first-year studies at a university in Illinois.

It was a short but powerful book. Although the dialogue is simple it really pushes the important of these agreements for overall improvement moving through life. Overall The Bookworms gave it a 10/10. So MUST READ ;))
