I have been on a path of self discovery as of late. Feeling listless in the day to day I've turned to books on spirituality, self improvement, and other topics in an effort to help myself in this adventure of life. My most recent find was the book The Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz.
First off, what are the Four Agreements? They are:
Be Impeccable with your Word
Don't Take Anything Personally
Don't Make Assumptions
Always Do Your Best
These four things are supposed to bring peace and allow one to live his/her dream as they continue though life. To me, they all make sense and they all work together to make life easier and happier.
This book was very repetitive and, while the examples given were okay, I really didn't think it needed to be as long as it did. I'm the type of person who likes things straight to the point. This book gave you the point, danced around it for about ten pages, and then gave you the point again. This may not have been the greatest self help book I've ever read, but it definitely wasn't the worst. I gave it three out of five stars because of content and because to me it was all common sense.
Have you read the Four Agreements? Do you follow them? Let me know in the comments below what you thought of the book! If you haven't read it and are interested to learn more, here is the link to it on Goodreads: The Four Agreements Goodreads
