The Mastery of Self

A Toltec Guide to Personal Freedom

De: Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.

Narrado por: Charlie Varon

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live.

Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

In The Mastery of Self, best-selling author and teacher don Miguel Ruiz Jr. takes the Toltec philosophy of the dream of the planet and offers you a road map to reclaiming your authentic self. He reveals how the tools of awareness, understanding, and unconditional love can free you from any inhibiting beliefs, stories, or ideas that are keeping you from living the best life possible.

This book can help you discover who you really are at the deepest level, which often lies just beyond any conditioning or domestication you have acquired throughout your life.

personal tasks are very useful

while written in a different voice than the 4 agreements, it still presents in an understands be way. . i recommend reading the 4 agreements first. the tasks or assignments given are very useful in applying the lesson to one self, and is the reason i chose to read the book. highly recommend.

Great inspiration

I'm really enjoying listening to this book. It's very inspirational. Yes, some concepts are common sense but I really like the wisdom that the author brings to the table. I know the author has another book on attachments, but I really liked the brief intro to attachment and how he tied it to mastery of self. I've started to observe, and let go of those ideas that I'm attached to that don't serve me but create friction in my relationships. I'm still learning but I feel I'm more mindful about them. The Four Agreements by his father was a life changing book for me. I'm glad I bought this Audible book and can't wait to finish it! Note I am listening to it in strides because I feel there is a lot of wisdom packed and I need time to digest. This feels like I book I can listen to multiple times to remind myself of the concepts and possibly extract different nuggets of wisdom every time (depending on what I'm open to). I did give the Story 4 stars (would give 4.5 if I could) because there is a small amount of repetition, and unfortunately this book is not as mind blowing as the Four Agreements. But it is still amazing, so an overall 5!

Changes my way of Thinking

This book has changed the way I talk to myself!

If you beat yourself when you make a mistake or fall into a depression when you let others down, this book is for you. It will help you use that ally within yourself instead of letting that inner parasite push through. I plan on reading this again. There is a lot to digest and consider.

Love yourself

I really enjoyed listening to this book. I will listen again and take notes. This was such a great explanation of life and how we are in control of our lives!

Easy listen. The narrator did a great job.

Good book! lots of good self help advice. I would listen again as there is so much to think about.
