The Five Levels of Attachment

By don Miguel Ruiz Jr.

Categories: Religion & Spirituality, Self-Help

In The Five Levels of Attachment, don Miguel Ruiz Jr. draws on the Toltec tradition of his family, including his father, author of The Four Agreements, to describe how people become attached to beliefs and identity. He sets out five levels: the authentic self, preference, identity, internalization and fanaticism. Ruiz shows how each level shapes the way people treat themselves and others, and offers ways to recognise attachments, question assumptions and return to an open, authentic self.
