By Don Miguel Ruiz
(Reviewed by Kevin Knebl)

This book was recommended to me some time ago by my friend Sandy Duvall (another Witness Relocation Program participant from New Jersey; there are a number of us out here in the West). I’ve read it a few times over the last year or so. Don Miguel has written a wonderful book that at first may sound simplistic, but as most truths are, the concepts prove to be profound in their simplicity. Ruiz comes from a long tradition of spiritual teachers from southern Mexico. He comes from the Toltec tradition that is most accurately described as a way of life, distinguished by the ready accessibility of happiness and love.
 
The Four Agreements

• Be impeccable with your word.
• Don’t take anything personally.
• Don’t make assumptions.
• Always do your best.

In the Four Agreements, Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.
