Features: The Four Agreements is an extraordinary and unusual book. It looks at the big picture yet starts from the small. It uses four ounces of effort to move a thousand pounds; it pulls a single hair to move the entire body. It's like Chinese acupuncture: a few thin silver needles, accurately targeting the acupoints, can relieve decades of pain. This book claims it can transform your beliefs and personality, a proposition that is undeniably grand. But the prescription the author offers consists of just five words: "Don't make assumptions." This prescription is undeniably simple. "In The Four Agreements, Don Miguel Ruiz reveals the origin of the agreement to 'restrain oneself,' and asserts that this agreement steals our joy and causes unnecessary suffering. To break these agreements, we must adopt four other seemingly simple yet profoundly powerful agreements as our guiding principles. Rooted in the ancient Toltec wisdom, these four agreements possess an extraordinary magic; they can rapidly change our lives, bringing us a completely new experience of freedom, happiness, and love."
