The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book)

"This is as fine a piece of literature as you can find. A quick read and you will hold on to the precepts for a life time. Keep a copy on your night-stand, you will want to review it often as you journey through the process we call life.

I believe that everyone should have a copy. "The Four Agreements" is the best possible gift for anyone special in your life. You might want to keep a couple of extra copies on hand to give to someone in their hour of need. What more can I say."

"This book embodies the "It's not me, it's you" theme. It is a quick read, and something you should read weekly. I loaned it to a friend and they never gave it backso I'm buying it again! One should live by the 4 agreements! REALLY---I'm trying!"

"A friend recommended this book to me and I'm grateful that he did. This is a short, but very profound little book and came to me at just the right time in my journey. If you are not ready to accept and assimilate the information provided, it will be hard to appreciate this book fully. I know that I wouldn't have been ready until now. I have the four agreements posted on my fridge and am trying to think about them often as I go about my daily life. They are so simple to comprehend, yet it is amazing what a challenge it really can be to practice them fully. "

"First of all this is a very basic book. I have big issues with page 30 right from the get go. He says the word is powerful and is a force....I beg to differ. Things are just symbols of symbols, thus twice removed from reality, and the word IS the symbol! It's the thoughts we think that give us power and give us light to see what we REALLY are, not the word. He states a familar bible phrase, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God,and the word is God." No.... I'm sorry, God doesn't DO words or any other "idols" He only does creation... in the form of loving, expansive thoughts. Yes we, (as children of God), are thoughts in the mind of God, and have NEVER left. Ideas leave NOT their source. He also gives a definition of sin, which I don't beleive in, and therefore can't possilbly be correct! The truth MUST be the same for eveyone! So while this book may have some good things to say, I so disagree with most of it's main premises, that it will serve no good purpose to reccommend it or reread it."

"Using and applying these four agreements has improved my relationship with myself and others. I highly recommend them to anyone drawn here. The work is powerful yet simple, beautiful in its simplicity, and washes away emotional pain like the ocean sculpts the shoreline. Other of my favorite book about self-help and love is I Love You. Now What?: Falling in Love is a Mystery, Keeping It Isn't"
