Book Review of Ancient Toltec: Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz




Title: Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz

Language: English
Genre: Historic, Self Help
Pages:
Rating: 3/5

Excerpt:
This book is about the beliefs of the ‘Ancient Ones’ community who believed life is an endless dream — a world of illusion which is just like a smoky mirror that doesn’t allow us to see who we really are! The quality of the dream purely depends on whether your mind or soul is controlling your life. Smoke in between us keeps us from knowing what we are.

Miguel talks about four agreements we need to live by to achieve the life free of limitations, make profound changes to your life, help you re-create your existence — where you find yourself and learn how to be happy at all times in life no matter what life has to throw at you. The four agreements are :-
  • Be impeccable with your word
  • Don’t take anything personally
  • Don’t make assumptions
  • Always do your best
My Thoughts :

A must-read to improve the quality of thinking and way of life. The book is engaging to read about an idea depicting, life is a living dream and the analogy, we see smoky image of yourselves in the mirror. Despite this, in my opinion, if the writer also included "how-to" to imbibe these agreements into our daily lives, it would serve more benefits and help one break out of thoughts. While reading this book, it made me wonder and reflect on what we do in our day to day lives and how we can engage in conscious talking and thinking to spread positivity.
