Everyone one of us is in our own paradigm, which gives us the power to not take anything personally because we are living in a different mindset. Most do not understand that by changing their mindset or world-view they could do a complete about-face for the better. The other concept that at first seemed counter-intuitive, but now it seems perfectly plausible is that we should love ourselves first. We should consciously treat ourselves like a king, with respect and dignity; there is no room for negative self-talk or to be critical.

Always be positive because perspective is in direct correlation with the quality of your life. The last revolutionary concept is the attach-detach method.

See a Problem?

We must strive to live in the present and anything in the past, we detach from until we meet again or do again. This allows for us to have percent concentration in the present, which is necessary for a great life. This book is a must read if you are human. Sometimes the most sagacious thoughts are the most simple. Aug 05, Carol rated it it was amazing. This book able to contribute to making peoples' lives a lot more carefree and comfortable. I have no doubt that if each of the agreements are worked on even a little, people would start to see how they're causing a lot of their own grief.

It has to do with giving an overhaul to very old beliefs about self esteem, needs and expectations, finally. I started reading the Four Agreements back in the '90s, but a lot of things got in my way, like mostly my life! I finally got back to reading this book t This book able to contribute to making peoples' lives a lot more carefree and comfortable.

I finally got back to reading this book this past year , and have actually been adapting some of it! I have chosen the agreement "never take anything personally" to focus on for now. I've had a lot of practice with this agreement at work. I've had difficulty relating to some of my co-workers that happen to come from the far side of "woken up", if you know what I mean.

They seem to get instantly vicious if they think they are being threatened even a little bit, and sometimes they don't even seem to realize why they feel threatened because their hackles go up too fast. Then in the frenzy, they're oblivious to the idea that maybe they've simply jumped to conclusions before they got all the facts, which is most often what has happened.

They are always evaluating how the Universe is impacting them, not how they are impacting the Universe.

The agreements address this type of thing thoroughly, and help the readers see how they have set themselves up, then teaches them how to stop doing that. Unfortunately, there is no good way to expose people to the book when they are clinging to their old beliefs that everything is Happening To Them. Dec 28, The Overflowing Inkwell rated it did not like it Shelves: Only read this so I could complete my reading challenge.

Terribly boring and not at all suitable for normal life. Especially the sections on gossip, and some of the sections on suffering. There's the usual idea that all gossip is is shuffling around mean things about others. There's a line in here that basically says don't even share what you feel about yourself, because other people can twist your words around and make it a 'poison'.

Which sounds like terrible advice, to be frank. His writing s Only read this so I could complete my reading challenge. His writing style is annoyingly repetitive and doesn't really ever get the point. More of the usual 'if it doesn't feel good, you aren't doing it right,' glorifying the idea of 'detachment,' and loving everyone no matter what without ever grounding that in reality. So glad I'm finished with all these nonsense books, and even gladder not to have to return.

May 20, Megan Hodgson rated it it was amazing. This book was stunning. I really like that there are a lot of journal prompts in the book. I have been going through and writing them all down, and am planning on journalling my way through the questions this summer. There were a lot of questions in this book that were really insightful and showed how the agreements should work in everyday life. I think it will be good to go back and even just look at those passages in the future. There is a lot of emphasis of mindfulness of your self in any situation.

I think that this is something that anyone can incorporate into their lives, regardless of their spirituality or religion or philosophy on life. I really liked the back third of the book, where there were question and answers regarding the four agreements and the philosophy behind them. It really added to the experience of the book.

I am happy that I read both of these books back to back, and feel that they really made me think about what the author was arguing. Nov 17, Melissa rated it liked it. There are some beautiful parts and I truly enjoy the philosophy and simplicity of the four agreements, but Ruiz's writing style isn't my favorite.

He makes VERY broad generalizations and contradicts himself in places. Mar 05, Anablava Ligataj rated it it was ok Shelves: I must confess that if I did not have the compulsory need to finish every book I start reading, I would have never finished this one. I found it to be a mere repetition of the book it was supposed to accompany.

Merely a tool to get more money out of the 4 agreements. Such a pity, I found the first book interesting but after reading this I am no longer a fan. So my advice to you: It will make you dislike them. Living a Peaceful Life.
