The Four Agreements

Don Miguel Ruiz · 1997

Four ancient Toltec agreements that quietly run modern lives well.

Summary

Ruiz draws on Toltec wisdom to offer four simple but exacting rules for personal freedom: be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, don't make assumptions, always do your best. They sound trivial; living any one of them for a week reveals how much of daily suffering comes from breaking them. The book reads as a slim wisdom manual rather than a tactical handbook.
