The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom

I loved the ideas in this book, the execution not as much. It was a very easy and fast read and I would recommend it to anyone, but at the same time the author says things that make me think ?????what. I found that the author made huge generalizations/conclusions that were not as universal as the four agreements themselves. An example to get my point across (not a spoiler):

“...with impeccability of the word, there would be no wars, no violence, no misunderstandings. All human problems would be resolved if we could just have good, clear communication”

Interesting because earlier he uses Hitler for an example. I am pretty sure that wanting to expand his empire and exterminate the Jews was not just based on miscommunication or misunderstanding.

Anyway, like any other self help concept out there, you have to apply these agreements to your own life in an individual way. Read the book with a grain of salt, of course, but I think that everyone could benefit from trying to better the world and themselves.
