The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

This book is definitely a 10/10!! It’s very impactful and gives you a whole new clear perspective on life. It shows you just how trapped you can become in beliefs that don’t serve you and others. Furthermore, it’s helpful for someone looking to rebrand their life, gain a profound understanding of the human mind, spirituality, and becoming one with themself. This is such a good read and nice gift to give someone who may be trying to discover themselves and who they want to be in their “dream”.

The wisdom in this book has completely transformed my life, more than anything thing else I've ever read or meditated on. This is not hyperbole. The Four Agreements showed up in my suggested titles, as I've purchased books on Buddhism and meditation. It was relatively inexpensive so I thought, "why not?" Once I began the chapter on the First Agreement, I found myself resting my eyes on phrases, sentences, and truths that just stood out from the page with child-like simplicity and tremendous depth. As I started to unpack what I was learning, I cried some good tears. This happened over and over, like the wounds in my soul were beginning to heal. They were healing through my active attention and I learned how to speak to myself without being judgmental. I thought I already knew how to do this through meditation and therapy, but this book uncovers something for me that I just can't explain. I don't want to give away too much of this book, because the way everything is explained is so brilliant and builds in layers. The way it is told is important. You can feel the kind and loving intent within every word. This book is very easy to read and understand; you really don't need advanced philosophy to move mountains of the mind. I feel like Don Miguel Ruiz is right next to me, gently and lovingly help me to see the real beauty in me, the real beauty in the universe and how we are all connected. It has the same force of an elder looking you in the eyes and telling you truths that come from years and years of contemplation, experience and wisdom. The best part is that I'm learning how to be me, really me. I'm learning how to love me, not things *about* me, but the real me way down inside that doesn't have to puff up or put up guards. I'm learning to be vulnerable and relate to others with far less fear and self-doubt. What a gift. What a treasure.

Great book and eye opening book that allowed me to realize the power of influence and going through life receiving and believing as I saw, was taught, was raised to believe and through the influence of others. A process termed domestication! Wow! In order to be the master of my life having something worth submitting to God I must dream of a world, life and future that aligns with what I believe, what I think and what i desire to see in my life! The four agreements give me a framework of what’s necessary if I want to do so!

Awesome book!!! Really makes you think about your life. Easy to read and keeps you attached. I would strongly recommend this book!!

This book is a quick read but filled with timeless wisdom. Each of the four agreements is simple enough to understand yet powerful enough to change how you approach everyday life, especially in how you speak, react, and extend grace to others. I appreciated how the lessons focus on personal responsibility and inner peace. It’s not about perfection, but about living with integrity, truth, and compassion, values that align beautifully with faith and personal growth. The writing is clear, relatable, and easy to revisit when you need a reminder to stay grounded. It’s one of those books you’ll want to keep nearby and reread whenever life feels heavy or complicated. Pro tip: reflect on one agreement at a time and practice it for a few days, the difference in mindset is noticeable.

I really enjoyed this book! The principles in this book make sense to me and find them valuable! Would even recommend it for young people in High School.

Spectacular! Published in 1997 this small 138 page book is the quintessential self help book translated in 47 languages, has sold over 6 million copies in the US alone. I discovered it decades ago as being 1 of Oprah’s book club hits. I think that my latest copy is my 6th copy as I’ve given my personal copy to others in need of guidance and understanding. BUY IT!

This book is a must to read. It made me open my eyes more & realize more
