The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom
by Miguel Ruiz
View on GoodreadsA short distillation of Toltec teaching organized around four commitments meant to reduce self-inflicted suffering.
Core ideas
- Be impeccable with your word — language creates reality; gossip and self-criticism are spells.
- Don't take anything personally — what others do is about them; your reaction is the only part that's yours.
- Don't make assumptions — ask, don't fill in; most conflict is invented in the gap.
- Always do your best — but the best fluctuates day to day; the agreement is the practice, not the perfection.
