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
Product Description
Rooted in traditional Toltec beliefs, these four agreements are essential steps on the path to personal freedom: Be impeccable with your word; Say only what you mean; The word is the most powerful tool humans have; Don't take anything personally; Self-importance leads people to think they are the center of the universe, causing pain and injustice; Don't make assumptions. To avoid frustration and blame, ask what is meant; Always do your best. This is the surest way to avoid self- condemnation, though it is important to realize one's best is always changing.

 Ok November 18, 2008
While I agree with the four agreements - the ideas are good - I don't like how it is presented. It is based on the presumption that life is a dream of Hell. If you don't agree with that the rest doesn't really follow. If that was left out then I would give this a better rating. I do agree though that these agreements are basic common sense but some people still need to read them.
 Simple and Wonderful November 16, 2008
This book can be read over and over. I pick it up and read it again and again and always get something new. It is simple and practical and about taking personal responsiblity for self! Love this book and the information in it!

I dont know how enlightening this "toltec" wisdom is supposed to be. But this 168pg book doesnt seem to be doing it justice. It doesnt give enough reliable background on the Toltecs and just how much time the author studied it before becoming a "shaman". I did a little research on Mr.Ruiz and found out he does tours on Teotihuacan where the Toltec are said to have existed and it could be that he did this book inorder to attract more tourism or something. Or maybe not. But either way, this book just didnt convince me at all. I also read the Toltecs were around for about 2 or 3 centuries and to believe these four principles is what got them through alot, I just dont think so.
