Sit at the foot of a native elder and listen as
great wisdom of days long past is passed down. In
The Four Agreements shamanic teacher and healer
Don Miguel Ruiz exposes self-limiting beliefs and
presents a simple yet effective code of personal
conduct learned from his Toltec ancestors. Full of
grace and simple truth, this handsomely designed
book makes a lovely gift for anyone making an
elementary change in life, and it reads in a voice
that you would expect from an indigenous shaman. The
four agreements are these: Be impeccable with your
word. Don't take anything personally. Don't make
assumptions. Always do your best. It's the how and
why one should do these things that make The Four
Agreements worth reading and remembering.
