The Four Agreements

By Don Miguel Ruiz

Categories: Self-Help

Drawing on ancient Toltec wisdom, don Miguel Ruiz traces much of our unhappiness to self-limiting beliefs we absorbed without choosing them. He offers a simple code to replace them, built on four agreements with yourself: Be impeccable with your word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make assumptions. Always do your best. Short and direct, the book shows how keeping these four promises can free you from needless suffering.

• Shane Parrish: ““In your whole life nobody has ever abused you more than you have abused yourself. And the limit of your self-abuse is exactly the limit that you will tolerate from someone else. If someone abuses you a little more than you abuse yourself, you will probably walk away from that person.”
