The Four Agreements
don Miquel Ruiz
According to don Miguel Ruiz, everything we do is based on agreements
we have made — agreements with ourselves, with other people, with God,
with life. But the most important agreements are the ones we make with
ourselves. In these agreements we tell ourselves who we are, how to
behave, what is possible, what is impossible. One single agreement is
not such a problem, but we have many agreements that come from fear,
deplete our energy, and diminish our self-worth.
In The Four Agreements,
don Miguel reveals the source of self-limiting agreements that rob us
of joy and create needless suffering. When we are ready to change these
agreements, there are four deceptively simple, yet powerful agreements
that we can adopt as guiding principles. 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.
