SILENT AGREEMENTS: HOW TO FREE YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

Resentment and conflict between romantic partners, friends, and coworkers or you and your boss are often caused by the unspoken beliefs and expectations each individual involved brings to the table. We all have some implicit rules that we expect others to follow, such as "The person who makes more money should pay for the dates," "My boss should offer me a raise," or "My friend should get me a birthday present even though I said I didn't want one." This book is all about learning to identify the silent "agreements" that govern your relationships and move beyond them into clear and healthy communication habits.
