Don Miguel Ruiz, The Four Agreements
( Amber-Allen Publishing, 1997 )
This is one of those rare books that is destined to be a perennial best-seller. In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting agreements that rob people of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom (the ancient wisdom tradition of Mexico and a way of life based on the unity of science and spirit), this extraordinary book offers a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform anyone’s life to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love. These agreements are deceptively simple: Be impeccable with your word (speak with integrity; say only what you mean); Don’t take anything personally (nothing others do is because of you); Don’t make assumptions (find the courage to ask questions and express what you really want); Always do your best (and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret). A brilliant recipe for living with freedom.
