Critic reviews

"Despite the New Age-sounding language, Ruiz is refreshingly clear in the presentation of his ideas. Reading aloud, actor Coyote sounds every bit the enthusiastic old hippie, genuinely excited by the concepts he is spinning." (Publishers Weekly)

I strongly urge EVERYONE to give this book at least one listen

5/5 stars because this books brings us back down to the basics. As complex organisms, we tend to make things a lot more complicated than they need to be, and this book does a really good job of breaking it down into 4 simple rules to follow, to ensure we are wholesome, well rounded individuals.

Insightful to the core.

The Four Agreements:

Wonderful read. Very illuminating. Extremely repetitive, but excellent concepts to soak in.

The four agreements are simple yet profound. Profound in the way they can completely change the way you perceive and navigate life, the way you interact with others, and the way you interact with yourself. Simple in the way it prevents you from frantically trying to better yourself with keeping in mind every self help or spiritual book you've ever read at once and getting overwhelmed and frustrated with yourself. It clears your mind and allows you to to simply be, keeping in mind these 4 simple guidelines. Keeping these in mind will allow all the other desirable traits you wish to embody and excuse to flow from that.

Cons: Extremely repetitive! Will say the same thing three times in a row in slightly different wording. Very heavy on rational, very little logical concrete fact. It's all based off personal experience and reasoning. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But more scientific and logic based facts could have been used to support these very valid values and concepts.
