Customer Reviews

The book came with a nasty note and was not recieved well.

When i opened the book i found a note that said, "I am a waste (underlined three times)of a time." "I'm up her ass.""(comments/questions)." "Focus on Elijah-(computer, list of friends, controls. animosity." I am a paranoid schizophrenic person and this deeply affected me. and made me not even want to read the book. I had a paranoid schizophrenic episode when I read it. How could such hateful speech get sent in a positive help book? I am offended and would like a refund honestly.

Heaven on earth is a feeling

Truly an experience evoking book, even as you are reading you feel your mind open up to the agreements. He refers the dream of the planet as people who have forgotten their true selves. It is a way of living, the wisdom that is. It is worth putting in the time to yourself to release negative beliefs, one by one. It is easier said than done, but the four agreements act as a simple yet effective guide.

Overconfident

The author presents opinions and views as if they are undeniable truths, with a level of confidence that borders on arrogance; it is extremly offputting. Rather than offering guidance open to interpretation, the book assumes you'll accept every sentence it presents. I recommend reading the inner cover and choosing something else.

I never received my book very disappointed

Haven't read it cause I never received it

Enlightening Guidebook

This book has become one of my personal favorites. It will open your eyes as the author presents a light, easy to read look at upbringing and raising the younger versions of us. Do you remember Ram Doss? His style reminded me of his famous quote "We are all just walking each other home." I frequently return to the book, it's so encouraging and helpful. Accomplishing the First Agreement is the most difficult, the work is ongoing and its all a completely rewarding experience. Let me tell you, it's not really like any self help type thing you've ever attempted. If you're looking, if you have the slightest interest, it's not that costly, I urge you to get a copy for yourself! Really.

Wonderful book if you are on your self love journey. Offers new perspectives to change your mindset.

Self help book!

Absolutely life changing book for me. If you’re looking for self-help or just a better understanding of how you can life a happier way, I recommend this book.

Good condition good purchase

The book is World Cup slightly yellowed but in good condition overall successful

My Husband loved it!

I bought this for my husband after he saw that it is a favorite of Tom Brady's. Very easy and simple concepts that provoke deep reflection of the unconscious agreements we make with others and ourselves. He would highly recommend!

Changed my mindset

This is the best book I've read hands down. It's a personal growth/self-help book that is a quick read that has shifted my entire outlook of life itself and how to take things into a different perspective. Highly recommend!!!!

Really like this book!

I’ve read this book before, and I loved it! I’ve decided to re-read this book with my current partner. We haven’t gotten to this book yet but I’m very excited to get to it with him. It’s a really great book.

Amazing!

This book is an easy read but it really had me evaluating myself and the way I mentally approach life!! I have since, purchased this book for gifts! Beautiful book!!

The four agreements

I was looking forward to this book because I love Heather Ash Amara and she refers to the book “The Four Agreements” several times. The book was supposed to be in good condition. It was written in so much some of it was hard to read. Very disappointed for the first time buying books from this site.

Great read

I love all of dons books

Quick and easy read

Just give it a shot! Worth reading and thinking about!

A Good Book on the Positive Mindset

I ended up enjoying this book far more than I thought I was going to. While I don’t necessarily buy into the esotericism that Ruiz references throughout the book, I do find it to be a very powerful guide for positive thinking. I don’t believe his claim that words literally have magical abilities I do see the ways that positive thinking can help us to lead a more fulfilling life. It is not a long or difficult read, I read it in a few hours. Its simplistic style doesn’t take away from the meaning, however. I would certainly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for ways to have a more positive outlook in life. I would take some of the claims in this book with a grain of salt, but overall it is a meaningful read.

recommend

I would definitely recommend this book to anyone

Great read

This book give you a new way to think about your life. It’s easy to understand and not long at all. Great for trying to heal yourself.

Simple and easy to digest

This book is a great primer on developing interpersonal skills and a foundation for personal growth. It’s not absolutely perfect; if you’re sensitive to brief mentions of the holocaust then this might be one to skip. It also talks about God, but even if you’re a non-believer the wisdom is still applicable. The 4 agreements are easy to remember and implement and I now have a daily reminder set so I can keep them in mind.

Read This Book

Trust me. It's very, very good.

Great book to find yourself again

I lied how this book helps you get back to yourself without being complex .

Came in great condition

Informative and felt brand new

Love the writing however the physical book fell apart as soon as I opened it. The binding came loose

Philosophical book about love and existence

Quick and Easy read with depth of information.

Though the book be little, it is fierce and full of useful, practical, common sense information to help you live your best life and be the best you can be. The 4 Agreements are a common sense approach to a ful-filling life. Highly Recommend.

Brain food

Easy quick read that gave me much to ponder on I’ll be sharing this book with all my bookworm friends I hope they enjoy it as much as I did

Simple yet powerful

Awesome and quick read with major insight that would help the masses. Absolutely worth a read

Great read!

Re reading as we speak! Bought it last year it was so informative I gave a copy to all my friends and family

!!!!

I think everyone should read this book at least once in their lifetime.

$ behaviors we all need

putting together a library for young adults

a great book

I read this book in English and learned more about understanding life than I have in my whole life. I thought it will make a great gift for friends and family members but most of my relatives speak Spanish. Luckily, the book is also available in Spanish. I bought one and will be buying more soon. It is a great book, with a great teaching. I recommended it to anyone who wants to grow as a person and make their lives better. Mr. Ruiz shows a great wisdom in all he teaches in his book and is very enriching to read words of such wisdom that will easily change your life forever.

A beautiful guide to achieve a life of freedom and happiness

I have read so many books promising joy in my life, yet I have read none so simple and practical as that of the Four Agreements by don Miguel Ruiz. The book is a beautiful instruction guide to achieve a life of freedom and happiness. He teaches four lifestyle commitments, which can transform life into the realization of your own personal dream. Written from his heart, the Four Agreements has made profound changes in my life. What seemed insurmountable challenges became powerful lessons which I was able to embrace with faith and love. What is the dream that you hold for yourself? Allow the magic of don Miguel's wisdom to shift your life into a masterful awareness of all you want for yourself.Become the power that you want in yourlife, realize the opportunites before you and then you can live in a heaven created from the beauty of your own heart. I have given the book to many people, who, only reading it once, have initiated life changes. My personal experience with don Miguel is that no matter how little you are exposed to him, your heart will always be touched. He and his words are the touch of an angel. Treat yourself to a world without limits!
