"This is a profound book by one of our very best social philosophers. It is a must-read in the age of unrealistic expectations and unyielding demands by extremists. It speaks both to our personal lives and to our public lives, as citizens and voters. Above all, one wishes our public leaders would heed it."--Amitai Etzioni, author of The New Golden Rule
"Settling is not addressed at length anywhere in philosophy, but after reading this book one wonders 'why not?' Engaging, elegant, and edifying, this terrific book shows the importance of settling, and the varieties of settling that people routinely engage in."--Cheshire Calhoun, Arizona State University
"This is an intellectually stimulating and entertaining book on a neglected subject: the value of settling. Clearly and accessibly written, it should appeal to a wide range of readers."--Catherine Lu, McGill University
