Publisher's summary

In The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz reveals the source of self-limiting beliefs that rob us of joy and create needless suffering. Based on ancient Toltec wisdom, the The Four Agreements offer a powerful code of conduct that can rapidly transform our lives to a new experience of freedom, true happiness, and love.

Don Miguel Ruiz has dedicated his life to sharing the wisdom of the ancient Toltec. For more than two decades, he has guided others toward their personal freedom. Today, he continues to combine his unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern-day awareness through journeys to sacred sites around the world.

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)

It Helps Heal Your Soul Wounds

Great philosophy. Outstanding narration. Very relaxing to listen to. It teaches how we're one with the universe. It helps you to calm down from our everyday stress and troubles by focusing on what you can do to be a better person, instead of worrying for the things that are out of your control.

I enjoyed this book very much.

Inspirational

I read this book 1st loved it so much I downloaded the Audible book. I listen to it on my morning walks & sometimes on long drives. I feel it brought me back to basics, grounded me again to the simple, yet often difficult, way to look at life.

Soothing read

Good advice. It's a condensed version but it has a calming message. Music is soothing.

Good read for most women (and some men) I know.

If you could sum up The Four Agreements in three words, what would they be?

Seriously good advice!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Four Agreements?

Don't take it personally.

Have you listened to any of Peter Coyote’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No.

Any additional comments?

You should know that there is a prayer at the end. If this is not your deal ( Christian theology or belief), turn it off when he starts in with "Let us pray". Otherwise, it is a fantastic way to help yourself find peace of mind, especially if your parents were socially dysfunctional and passed it on to you. It will change your perspective of the people around you (even the guy in the car behind you gesturing rudely).

Food for thought, ideas to inspire!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book is so relevant, I'd recommend it to everyone! In a fairly short read (listen), the common sense this book makes can literally change your life... for the better. I've read the paper version, but found the audio version excellent.

Which scene was your favorite?

The first agreement,

Made me rethink my life.

The narrator does an excellent job on portraying one of the best books I've ever heard. At first, I thought that the book would dwell into a collection of stories, but as it went on, I couldn't stop listening.
