In The Four Agreements, author Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Ruiz, whose workshop teachings are distilled in The Four Agreements, was born into a Mexican family of traditional healers, became a surgeon in adulthood, then underwent a near-death experience that made him reexamine his life and his beliefs.
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.
The Four Agreements are:
- Be Impeccable With Your Word.
- Don't Take Anything Personally.
- Don't Make Assumptions.
- Always Do Your Best.
