The Four Agreements is a book published in 1997 by Mexican author Don Miguel Ruiz. I felt that I had seen this book everywhereee, I needed to see what the hype was about. It is a "wisdom book" and draws upon the teachings of ancient American peoples, the Toltecs, for inspiration on how to live life more fully. Ruiz and the Toltecs say that the human spirit has been domesticated and that we are all chasing a form of perfection that does not exist. It is impossible to attain and ruins the quality of our life by running after it. To come to any conclusion we have to make agreements with information. Ruiz's invitation is to break all other agreements that we have made previously and to agree with the four pieces of wisdom in this book.

These Agreements are:

1. Be Impeccable with Your Word

2. Don't Take Anything Personally

3. Don't Make Assumptions

4. Always Do Your Best

At times this book felt too radical for my domesticated spirit, but I enjoyed the read nonetheless! At the end of the day, Ruiz is inviting us all to live more fully, and that is something I can get behind. I would recommend it for any who feel they need a jumpstart or are in a funk.
