Amazon.com Review Sit at the foot of a native elder and listen as great wisdom of days long past is passed down. In The Four Agreements shamanic teacher and healer Don Miguel Ruiz exposes self-limiting beliefs and presents a simple yet effective code of personal conduct learned from his Toltec ancestors. Full of grace and simple truth, this handsomely designed book makes a lovely gift for anyone making an elementary change in life, and it reads in a voice that you would expect from an indigenous shaman. The four agreements are these: Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best. It's the how and why one should do these things that make The Four Agreements worth reading and remembering. --P. Randall Cohan
Award Winning Author gives a thumbs up! December 4, 2008 I've quoted Don Miguel Ruiz in my book, Why not Me? The keys to unlock your power and release your potential. The Four Agreements is a wonderful read, with simple and powerful lessons that all people are well served to observe.
I consider his work to be a must read!

It's good. November 28, 2008 I like this book. It's not earth shattering, but it's not disappointing. I would however recommend reading Sarah Shikitao-Brown's book over this one though.

The Four Agreements is the Way to Heaven in the Midst of Hell November 27, 2008 If there's one book that I can highly recommend for absolute freedom in the midst of hell, it is Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements. He says it all in a way that is easy for the average person to understand. This has become my Bible. If you adhere to the four agreements, your chances of literally being in heaven on earth will greatly increase. Though I have to admit that as easy as the four agreements sound, they are rather difficult to follow because in a racist world it is hard not to take things personally when people say bad things about your race even if you know you are not specifically being addressed. In addition, as people we have learned to make assumptions for various reasons and we aren't always impeccable with our word. These are some of the reasons why we should do our best to follow them. In a nutshell the agreements are as follows: be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, and do your best. This book is wonderful and should be read repeatedly and followed so we can all live in peace and be happy. Also read the other books he wrote because he's a great author who seems to geninely care about our well-being.
Practical and timeless November 20, 2008 This is one of my favorites that I have purchased not only the book but the audio as well so I could listen to it on my daily walks. I have read it and listened to it countless times. It offers simply practical steps to living life more authentically. In fact one principle about not taking anything personally fostered in me an amazing transformation in my life. I had finally forgiven years and years of feelings I had towards a family member who is no longer with us. This book helped me get over it completely. I hope it help you as well.
P.S the audio is great, the narrator Peter Coyote has an amazing voice and a knack for narrating this kind of material, well worth it and actually pretty relaxing.

Those are four pretty good agreements. I would like to add a fifth: that Brian Moore does everything for the ladies.
