I Recommend "The Four Agreements" Give yourself this book as a gift this year!

This what I would say to a friend: If you are looking for a simple formula to follow and structure your life by "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Angel Ruiz is a book that can do that. It is a very popular book with people who are interested in self improvement that isn't complicated to understand or to follow the wisdom. Actually, if you can get the first agreement, the other three are going to fall into place in your life as you become impeccable with your word. Being impeccable with your word first starts with being honest with what you say to yourself. The Four Agreements are:

#1 Be Impeccable With Your Word.
#2 Don't Take Anything Personally.
#3 Don't Make Assumptions.
#4 Always Do Your Best.
Sometimes being disillusioned is the beginning of honesty!

Don Miguel Ruiz the Author 

The Four Agreements - Don's most famous work

Don Miguel Ángel Ruiz (born 1952) is a Mexican author, nagual, shaman, and teacher. He was a surgeon until a near-death experience impelled him to seek answers in ancestral traditions of the Toltec in which his mother was a curandera (healer), and his grandfather a nagual (shaman) who, after death, continued to teach Ruiz in his dreams.

His most famous and influential work, The Four Agreements, was published in 1997 and has sold around 4 million copies. - Ultimately, it is about finding one's own integrity, self-love, and peace within this reality.

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

I've got this book, but haven't read it yet. You've just motivated me to do so!

kimmanleyort says:

I loved this book. Whenever I encounter a problem, it's usually because I didn't follow one of these agreements.

Patty says:

I thot it so funny that 2 men gave this to you. I got mine from maybe the same 2 . I guess they thot we were the ones that needed to change. Sure missed being impecable with their words. Still is a good book.

Hmm, Interesting!

Tipi says:

Janiece, you have the book, read it. Think about it, make some changes in thinking and the words you say to yourself. You will know what's right!

Tipi says:

Kim, I can understand that very well. Thanks, you are so creative!!!

Tipi says:
