The Four Agreements – Don Miguel Ruiz

The Four Agreements (Don Miguel Ruiz): Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, this book identifies the "self-limiting beliefs" that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Ruiz proposes four simple but profound agreements to make with oneself: 1) Be impeccable with your word; 2) Don't take anything personally; 3) Don't make assumptions; and 4) Always do your best. By breaking the "thousands of agreements" we've made with society that tell us we aren't good enough, Ruiz argues we can reach a state of personal freedom and "heaven on earth". It is a staple of modern spirituality, praised for its clarity and life-altering simplicity.
