The Four Agreements Book Review
The book was published in California in 1997 by Amber-Allen Publishing. The book has been translated into 46 languages, including Arabic, Chinese and Spanish. [11] An illustrated edition was then published by the same company in 2010 to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the book. [12] I think that if you read “The Four Chords” and other books by Don Miguel Ruiz (or mine!), you would find much of the same philosophy in the modern version of the Tolèque tradition. Agreements help to understand where we hold these self-judgments and fears, and tradition offers tools to “become artists of our lives and make our lives a masterpiece of art.” The work is deep and thorough. At my last meeting, I mentioned the four agreements of the author Don Miguel Ruiz. I`m going to see some things I liked about this book and some things I didn`t like. I will then mention for what kind of people this type of book is perfect, and finally I give the book a final grade (of 10). The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom by Don Miguel Ruiz is a wonderful book for stress management and personal growth. It is written in simple language, but it deals with complex topics that can help you make far-reaching changes in your life. Miguel mentioned John:1 several times.
For example, he posted on January 1, 2012 on Facebook: “www.facebook.com/donMiguelRuiz/posts/10150478684012771) “The Gospel of John in the Bible expresses very clearly the power of the Word: `In the beginning it was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word is God.` No matter what language we speak, our intention manifests itself in the word. Janet herself said her mission is to publish books of lasting beauty, integrity and wisdom to inspire others to achieve their dreams. As far as irreprolity is concerned, this word certainly has the connotation of perfectionism, and if you take it that way, you would indeed be going crazy. (By the way, the repress and other agreements you make with yourself are not demands that Ruiz makes of you.) On the other hand, if you set yourself the goal of being blameless with your word, you strive to be as honest and kind as possible with your words, without waiting for perfection from yourself or fighting if you are too short, this agreement with yourself could improve your well-being. How do we know the correct interpretation of Ruiz`s reference to John 1,1-5? We could break one of his four agreements and make an assumption about his intention. Or if you`re really interested in the truth, you might ask him. If your convictions create deep happiness in you, then I say: keep them. If they cause trouble, if the beliefs of others are different, consciousness can give you the choice of what you believe and what you let go. So many of our beliefs, concepts, agreements were fed to us as “truth” when we were young, and we accepted them literally and completely.
The beginning of the four chords is how our animators domesticated us in a “dream” of life. The only dream they had at our disposal was the one they lived, which they received most often from their parents, etc. Thank you, Allan, for sharing your wisdom. I am honoured that someone of your stature would take the time to read my contribution and clarify the importance of the agreements. Cons: The only scam I could think of is personal, but some of the tips towards the end of the book were things I was already familiar with, like the power of forgiveness and how to live life more fearlessly. That`s already the case, and that`s the only thing I can think of. Apart from that, it is also close to a perfect book that you can only get….
