The Four Agreements is a New York bestselling book from the Mexican author Don Miguel Ruiz. This book was originally published in 1997 and at the very heart of it is Toltec wisdom and a near death experienced Ruiz in his life.

This short and easily digestible book is one which I regularly refer to in order to remain grounded in life. Repetition of these agreements on a daily basis has really helped me to alter my approaches to better deal with challenges.

In addition to the above, the book in my eyes acting with a greater level of consciousness.

My #BitesizedTakeaways:

As this is such a short book the #BitesizedTakeaways are quite simply the four agreements themselves.

Although, I have supplemented these agreements with specific quotes from their respective chapters which help to bring these agreements to life:

  1. Be Impeccable With Your Word – “Your word can create the most beautiful dream or your word can destroy everything around you
  2. Don’t Take Anything Personally – “When you take things personally, you feel offended and your reaction is to defend your beliefs and create conflicts
  3. Don’t Make Assumptions – “The way to keep yourself from making assumptions is to ask questions. Make sure the communication is clear
  4. Always Do Your Best – “If you do your best always, over and over again, you will become a master of transformation. Practice makes the master

If you are looking for easy to apply book which you can take forward straight away this is the one.
