The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

Miguel Ruiz's “The Four Agreements” is a concise yet deeply impactful guide to personal freedom and happiness. I found the four core messages both logical and profoundly useful, with the first two agreements—“Be impeccable with your word” and “Don't take anything personally”—resonating strongly with me. They reminded me of Buddhist teachings on “right speech” and the concept of “non-self,” adding a spiritual depth to their practical wisdom. The other two agreements—“Don't make assumptions” and “Always do your best”—are equally insightful and easy to apply to everyday life. The book's brevity makes it a quick read, but its messages linger long after. I read most of it on the first evening, unable to put it down. A must-read for anyone seeking clarity and transformation in their life.
